Pat Robertson of The 700 Club has always stood against gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people, stating that they are living in sin and out of the will of God. I remember watching The 700 Club as a child and enjoying the music. My family believed in God, and we were raised in the word of God. Everyone during that time spoke against the LGBT community, and here I was, a 10-year-old boy with special feelings but unable to identify those feelings and emotions. As I grew older I began to feel like a bad person for these emotions and feelings inside myself. It would take me 25 years to become who I am today, with love and joy in my heart.

Most recently, Pat Robertson stated that homosexuality is somehow similar to demonic possession:
