US pastor tells parents to ‘treat gay children like drug addicts’

By Josh Haggis

A US pastor has claimed that parents should treat their gay children like drug addicts.

Pat Robertson, who has previously claimed that gay people will soon “die out,” made the remark during an episode of his Christian chat show 700 Club, after a viewer called in to ask advice on how she should treat her gay son who recently came out.

“You cannot go along and say, ‘I agree with your lifestyle,’ so don’t be an enabler,” Robertson told the viewer. “If he’s a drug addict, you don’t enable people to continue in their drug habits.”
