Televangelist Pat Robertson on Tuesday
advised a woman to use the Bible to reverse her daughter's
“homosexual behavior,” media watchdog RightWingWatch.org
reported.
Robertson gave his advise during a The
700 Club segment in which he answered viewers' questions.
Co-host Terry Meeuwsen read the
viewer's question.
“This is Geraldine, who says, 'I
recently walked in on my 14-year-old daughter engaged in unsavory
acts with her female friend. How should I go about reverting her
homosexual behavior?'”
“She's 14, she doesn't know what her
sexuality is, she wants to feel loved and the girlfriend is there in
the room,” Robertson answered.
Meeuwsen added: “And the culture
today, see the culture today is telling kids just to experiment,
figure out what you like, what you want, it's just a decision.”
“She's 14 and she doesn't know,”
Robertson said. “How do you revert? What I think she should do is
to say, 'I don't think you can see Susie anymore,' whatever it is,
and you got to explain to her what the Bible says. It's unlikely at
that age that she has homosexual tendencies, I think she just wants
to experiment with sex and love and that kind of stuff.” (The
