SUBMITTED BY Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 8/26/2014 11:20 am
On todays edition of the 700 Club, a viewer told Robertson that her 13-year-old step-son, who lives with his mother most of the time, has crushes on boys and wanted the televangelists help.
Repeating the myth that homosexuality is the result of a lack of parental bonding, Robertson said his attraction is now toward other men because hes raised by a woman.
I would get him male companions, Id get him some man to help him, some mentor, someone who cares about young men, Robertson advised. He is being raised by a single woman and that is skewing his orientation.

Basically an overpowering Mother Figure will turn a boy weak, gay, and communist; or such was the the theory in the 1950s. See, for example, the Manchurian Candidate.

Seem to spend a lot of time around men. Sometimes doing icky things like holding hands, or gasp, kissing. The horror of it all.
People like Pat are why I've given up on trying to find an end to humanity's potential for stupity.
