Pat Robertson Says Gay Teen Needs “Male Companions” To Be Straight

Camille Beredjick writing over at Friendly Atheist says it so much better than I,,,

So… presumably straight single mothers turn their sons gay? As if a single mom’s attraction to the opposite sex is going to magically transfer over to her son because he has no way to “learn” attraction to women otherwise? (Poll for straight readers: At exactly what moment in your life did you decide to be heterosexual?)

Also, it’s disturbing the way he says “see what happens,” as if this whole thing is an experiment. Yes, sexual orientation is fluid, to an extent, but it’s not as easy as changing out a few variables and seeing what you get.

A casual reminder here that the vast majority of LGBT people are born to straight parents because — surprise! — the vast majority of people have straight parents. You don’t need a dad around to grow up to be a straight man,,,

More importantly, if you grow up and you’re not a straight man, regardless of who your parents are, that’s okay.
