Pat Robertson: Homosexuals “can’t reproduce” and will die out

700 Club host fails to grasp simple biology

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

Pat Robertson, host of Christian radio program 700 Club and founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network, speaking to a caller who asked for advice after her church banned dating and considered interest in the opposite sex to be a sin. Right Wing Watch reports that notoriously anti-gay Robertson used the call to once again spout nonsense regarding LGBT people, having previously claimed that gay people are terrorists and comparing transgender people to a castrated horse.

Robertson clearly fails to understand that in order for gay people to die out, heterosexual couples would have to stop reproducing.
