Pat Robertson: Treat Gay Son Like A Drug Addict
SUBMITTED BY Brian Tashman on Monday, 3/16/2015 11:15 amPat Robertson told a “700 Club” viewer today that she should not “enable” her gay son’s “lifestyle,” just as she wouldn’t enable a drug addict.
When the viewer asked the televangelist about her son’s decision to come out of the closet, Robertson responded that she must continue to love him by treating him like someone who is an addict.
“You cannot go along and say, ‘I agree with your lifestyle,’” he said. “So don’t be an enabler, any more if he’s a drug addict, you don’t enable people to continue in their drug habits. But you let him know you love him.”

Yes, I am sure her son will feel really loved when his sexual orientation is equated with a drug addiction.
I swear, Pat Robertson appears to be getting more nuts if that is possible. People should just stop enabling him and treat him as if he were a drug addict.

Marriage and family life[edit]
Schlessinger met and married Michael F. Rudolph, a dentist, in 1972 while she was attending Columbia University. The couple had a Unitarian ceremony.[61] Separating from Rudolph, Schlessinger moved to Encino, California in 1975 when she obtained a job in the science department at the University of Southern California.[62] Their divorce was finalized in 1977.[63]
In 1975, while working in the labs at USC, she met Lewis G. Bishop, a professor of neurophysiology who was married and the father of three children.[2][64] Bishop separated from his wife and began living with Schlessinger the same year.[65] Schlessinger has vociferously proclaimed her disapproval of unwed couples "shacking up" and having children out of wedlock. According to her personal friend, Shelly Herman, "Laura lived with Lew for about nine years before she was married to him."[2] "His divorce was final in 1979.[66] Bishop and Schlessinger married in 1985.[67] Herman says that Schlessinger told her she was pregnant at the time, which Herman recalls as "particularly joyful because of the happy news."[2] Schlessinger's only child, a son named Deryk, was born in November 1985.[68]

Note that not only was she not divorced from her first husband when she "shacked up" with a man married to someone else who also had three children, but she also did not marry the guy until she got pregnant some 6 years after his divorce became final, which was some three years after she started living (or to use her words, "shacked up"
with the guy.
