PAT ROBERTSON: 14-YEAR-OLD ‘DOESN’T KNOW WHAT HER SEXUALITY IS’



PAT ROBERTSON: 14-YEAR-OLD ‘DOESN’T KNOW WHAT HER SEXUALITY IS’ | Responding to a mother who caught her 14-year-old daughter “engaged in unsavory acts” with a female friend, Pat Robertson said today that she probably “doesn’t know what her sexuality is” but “it’s unlikely at that age that she has homosexual tendencies.” If the mother wants to “revert” her daughter’s behavior, Robertson believes she should prevent her from seeing her friend anymore and explain to her what the Bible says.

This is very dangerous to have a crack pot like Robertson talking shit he knows NOTHING about. Although, Pat does blimp my Gaydar meter. If this is even a real story, a 14 year old girl KNOWS what she wants at that age and before.

Besides, even though I wasn't 'active' at 14, I sure as hell knew what I wanted to be active 'with' later on in my life...

It frightens and disgusts me that this man and his GOP religion is still on the air and corrupting minds daily.

then she most likely DOES know what her "sexuality" is.
At any rate, it is doubtful she is fully "straight", although she could be just experimenting, "safely".
This is another area where religion can totally fuck up a person on the brink of adulthood, for life.

he actually came out in favor of legalizing pot recently, and maybe other drugs (but not sure about that last part).
