Televangelist Pat Robertson warned a viewer on Thursday that she should be careful when allowing lesbian friends into her home because you dont want your children to grow up as lesbians.
A viewer named Catherine told the TV preacher that she had recently reconnected with a childhood friend, who was a lesbian. She invited the friend to meet her children but became concerned when she asked to bring her same sex partner.
I dont want her to think that Im okay with her ways, the viewer explained. And I dont feel comfortable having her around my children.
Robertson advised the woman not to shun her friend, but at the same time, you dont want your children to grow up as lesbians.
Thats what youre talking about, he said. You dont want to show them that thats an acceptable lifestyle for your family.
It doesnt hurt to tell somebody, Look, I love you and were going to do what we can to be friends if we can, but I have my lifestyle, its Christian. And you have yours, its not. And so, Im sorry, we cant indulge in certain things together.
Robertson predicted that the womans friend would respect her honesty.
