Gay Perverts Will Drive Christians Out of Biz, Says Robertson

Pat Robertson started the week off with a bang when he said on July 29 that the gay community would drive Christians out of business and make America a "perverse" place ripe for destruction.

Right Wing Watch reports that Robertson was discussing businesses that refuse service to LGBTs when he warned that "what our civil rights commissions and others are saying is, 'We want to endanger our society and set it up for the judgment of God and if you Christians don't like it then get out."

Comparing gays to Sodomites demanding sex, Robertson said that gays were threatening Christians to accept them or be penalized.

"What the gays are saying is, 'we're going to drive you out of town, either you conform to us or you must leave,'" said Robertson. "That's the message that's being put out, it's the same message that there was in Sodom and Gomorrah: You're either going to have sex with angels or have open sex with anybody or else you leave, or you go out of business. That's America, you don't want that, do you?"

The preacher man's diatribe came in response to an article on CBN News about Colorado bakery Masterpiece Cakeshop, whose owner Jack Phillips refused to bake a cake for a gay couple in 2012, citing his belief that marriage was between one man and one woman.

An administrative judge ruled against him, and the Colorado Civil Rights Commission agreed, saying that his refusal violated the state's public accommodations law, which requires businesses serve customers regardless of their sexual orientation.

The baker said he didn't discriminate against anyone, but had instead "chosen not to make cakes for same-sex weddings. told David and Charlie when they came in that I would sell them cookies and brownies and birthday cakes and shower cakes. I just don't do the same-sex wedding cake. So I did not discriminate against them, just that event I've chosen not to participate in."
