The claim came during a segment about a man who, according to Robertson, "trolled the streets" for seven years looking for "cheap sex with other men" while his wife sat at home "completely clueless."
In response to the man's story, Robertson says:
"The world today says 'OK, so you are gay, you want to have affairs with men -- that's cool. You have an absolute right to do that, why not?'
That's not the right attitude. The attitude is that this is sin. It's wrong. And [this man] realized it was wrong but couldn't control it. But that type of conduct is wrong he is obsessed. He has a compulsion. I would think that it is somehow related to demonic possession "

(82,849 posts)I'm sure it had nothing whatsoever to do with bigotry and hatred wrapped up in a bible and cowering behind a cross to make whoever-this-was desperately ashamed of himself, so ashamed that he went to the extreme of marrying a woman, so desperate that he made her as unhappy as himself, and still couldn't escape his own nature, the way God created him. Well done, Pat. Not only have you inflicted a grievous wound on this man and the poor woman he married to escape your trap, but as he nurses his injuries, you cruise by and shoot him one more time. All that's missing is "You don't look so bad."

Ted "I am not gay either" Haggard
Amazing how many of those people who hate gays are often times shown to be gay themselves. Of course they all deny it once they're caught.
They are dispicible people who need to go home and do whatever they wish, but get the fuck out of government and out of any position of authority on issues of so-called morality. Fuck em all (so to speak)
