Televangelist Pat Robertson continued his pattern of anti-gay comments on his 700 Club show Monday when he claimed that gay people can change their orientation just as murderers, rapists and thieves can change.

Robertson was telling his viewers about a case in Ecuador where a politician made anti-gay remarks and was found to have violated his country’s electoral code’s prohibition on discrimination.

Robertson said speaking out against homosexuality is not 'hate speech.'

Pat Robertson has a history of outrageous and outlandish comments whenever opining on anything LGBT related. He continued that fine tradition.

With his long history of anti-gay comments, it's not surprise that televangelist Pat Robertson would speak out against the Boy Scouts of America allowing openly gay members and scout leaders.

But on his 700 Club television show Tuesday (5 February), Robertson did more than speak out against gays, he lumped them together with pedophiles.

Following a news report on his 700 Club television show about a same-sex wedding that took place at the US Military Academy over the weekend, anti-gay televangelist Pat Robertson weighed in on how he believes military heroes from the past would have felt about it.

Said Robertson: 'General Douglas MacArthur rolling over in his grave, Ulysses S. Grant rolling over in his. Robert E. Lee rolling over in his. What have they done to our cherished institution?'

A day after reports surfaced that James Henderson might be gay and involved with younger men, he was fired from his job as senior counsel at the American Center for Law & Justice which was founded by anti-gay televangelist Pat Robertson.

Henderson, a married man with eight children, was fired from ACLJ on 25 September. The group is not saying why he was let go but but does confirm his departure.

Televangelist Pat Robertson said this week that he wishes people demonstrating against fast food chain Chick-fil-A for its public stance against gay marriage and millions of dollars of contributions to anti-gay groups 'would shut their mouth.'

Robertson takes issue with college students around the US, including in New York, Virginia, North Carolina and Mississippi, who do not want a company they perceive as being against LGBT rights on their campuses.

Televangelist Pat Robertson, known to make several anti-gay statements in the past, called homosexuality a 'denomic possession' on his 700 Club television show Monday (26 March).

After a filmed piece on a married man who 'trolled the streets longing for cheap sex with other men' with his wife at home clueless to what was going on, Robertson described the man's behavior this way: 'He's obsessed, he has a compulsion. I would think it is somehow related to demonic possession.'

Pat Robertson has offered this solution to a man upset about having a gay son: Make him straight.

The television evangelist, well known for his Christian Right views, took a question on his Christian Broadcasting Network morning news show from a man who wanted to know how to show his son the love of Jesus 'when you know his sexual preference is an abomination to God.'
