Pat Robertson accuses gays of persecution and of ‘taking away the rights of everybody’
Anti-gay televangelist Pat Robertson, the 85-year-old host of TV’s The 700 Club, is accusing gays of persecution.
Robertson said Thursday (1 October) that gay people seek to ‘persecute anybody who disagrees with them’ in order to see them ‘bankrupted’ and ‘put in jail.’
‘Is that what The Left wants? The answer is absolutely. It is vindictive now…. The press is in league with the gay rights people and they somehow think this is a civil rights issue.’
Robertson made his comments in the context of Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis jailed for refusing to grant marriage licenses to gay couples and Washington florist Barronelle Stutzman fined for refusing to provide flowers for a same-sex wedding.
‘We’re not talking about having rights from the “poor, oppressed gays,” we’re taking away the freedoms of everybody who disagrees with them,’ Robertson said.
He added: ‘They better be careful what they’re doing because they’re taking away the rights of everybody.’
