What? Pat Robertson predicts gays will go extinct ‘because they don’t reproduce’

Christian Broadcasting Network host Pat Robertson on Wednesday predicted that gay men and lesbians would eventually “die out because they don’t reproduce.”

On Wednesday’s 700 Club, a woman named Crystal complained that her church had banned dating, and it considered showing interest in the opposite sex a “sin.” She said that the only married members of the church were people who had met their spouses before joining.

According to Robertson, this church faced the same threat as the LGBT community: extinction.


“You know, those who are homosexual will die out because they don’t reproduce,” the TV preacher opined. “You know, you have to have heterosexual sex to reproduce.”

I knew he was stupid, but I think this comment takes the prize. He needs to retire and watch fish swim around an aquarium for entertainment. He's on his way to happy land.

Time for Robertson to check into that rest home orbiting the Near-Death Star.

11. If there were such a thing as a single "gay" gene, then Pat would probably be correct.

But it turns out to be infinitely more complicated than that.

He's totally right about that church, though. That's what happened to the Shakers.
