Pat Robertson | Televangelist, Failed Politician, Bad Person

[@kathleendigregorio1701]

Pat Robertson stated that if your spouse has Alzheimer's, you can divorce them. My Mom died of ALZ in 2014 after my Dad and our family cared for her; I know for certain she married a far better man than Mrs. Robertson did.

@@turquoisesnowflake4613 Do you mean “stewardesses”? (It took me a while to figure out what you meant.) The title stewardess went out in the 60’s - 70’s. (Now flight attendant is correct.) The point was to remove gender bias as men were increasingly attracted to the role. Ironically, the term was derived from the gender neutral word “steward” which was someone who looked after the needs of passengers on ships, trains and planes.

The "accepting trans but hating gays" is not as rare as you may think. In some countries, particularly religious societies, they are "accepting" of transgender (binary) identities because they consider it a medical issue, a disorder, and view it as something "misaligning" at some point during gestation, I guess kind of like a physical disability of sorts. Meanwhile, sexuality is still seen as a choice, something you do out of lust and not a "condition" you are born with.

[@Garbeaux.]

Well technically it is a disorder called gender dysphoria.

Also just tells how old Pat was. News media in the 1950s loved the story of Christine Jorgensen and for a time in mid century psychology and psychiatry were taken very seriously indeed-- and this was also the time of some of the most severe repression of GLBTQ people in American history with gays being banned from the military and civil service, the mob owning gay bars and frequent rounds ups and arrests of people who dared to attend gay parties. There was also a cottage industry in blackmail which sprang up.

STORY TIME: The first time I ever saw public nudity was with Pat there. My grandparents were part of the 700 clubs "council of 100" or the top 100 donors at the time. They took the group to Israel and because my grandfather had recently passed away, so when I was 13 my grandmother took me instead. Pat and the whole family were there. A big thing was that Pat was going to baptize us all in the Jordon river. We were all in those white robes, and apparently no one told the rest of the group, a bunch of 70-80 year olds, that white cloth turns transparent when wet and they didn't wear anything underneath. So as I'm in line to get dunk I'm watching in horror as they worst wet t shirt contest ever takes place. A bit hard to focus on Jesus watching Peepaw scramble up the bank in all his glory 😂.

One of my closest friends is a gay woman married to another woman and Christian. They have a daughter and had a traumatic experience trying to find a church willing to baptize their daughter. My friend fully believes, unfortunately, that an unbaptized baby will go to hell. She was extremely upset and stressed that all the local churches were going to condemn her baby. They finally found a priest a couple towns over willing to baptize (ironically this same priest baptized my nephew). When the congregation found out they were so angry they had the priest removed from the church! I shit you not. He’s just gone. For being willing to baptize a gay couples baby. These people are just evil.

[@williamkealey2636]

Yeah. One of the wild things about like the 60s and 70s, before conservatives decided to make being transgender the center of their culture war is that conservatives used to be really pro-transgender rights. Not out of any interest in human rights, they just hated gay people that much. Joe Pyne once interviewed a Transwomen (in about 1968) and was shockingly respectful. Entirely because "oh, well if you become a woman, it's a heterosexual relationship. That's fine." This specific thing is just a sign of how old Robert was. He couldn't keep up with the massive shift in the right-wing narrative.

As a trans, gay Christian I can say - the pro-trans/anti-gay thing doesn't really surprise me at all.

Ultimately it's only pro-trans in an extremely narrow way.

Till one day Pat Robertson was answering viewers questions. A woman had been feeling depressed and her doctor recommended she see a mental health professional that had prescribe her medication. She wanted to know what the Bible says about taking medication for mental health…. Robertson told her she didn’t need it. That she just needed to go for a walk, get outside more and pray.

He had a different female cohost at the time(I believe her name was Sheila Walsh), and to her credit, she said “I think it should be based on the job you do,” and I think he eventually conceded that if the roles were reversed(single man, widowed/divorced mother with young children), she should be paid more.

My adopted hometown in just outside of Virginia Beach and I went to church for years. Most of the kids I was in youth group with and even my brother attended regent university. My brother was living on campus during Robertson’s death. Despite all of the obvious flaws that come with attending a fundie university, I will say my brother revived amazing education about world religions. He has a deep understanding of tons of religions, large and small, both in comparison to Protestant Christianity and standing alone. He tells me the environment of the program was very respectful, intense, factual, and philosophical, and it allowed my brother to be one of our areas most respected ministers due to his knowledge and open-mindedness. So despite how damaging Pat is, at least i can say his school turned my brother from an ignorant and arrogant fundie to an intelligent, cultured, and accepting man that I’m proud to call my brother.

A few years ago, I saw a documentary about the trans community in Iran. The documentary followed several people waiting for their reassignation surgery. It showed how the surgery was funded by the goverment, and even encouraged by them, because the religious beliefs support the idea of the person trapped in the wrong body. It was heartbreaking, some people were just gay but they were coerced to have a reassignation surgery. Also, even if the goverment supports the surgeries, the people who have them become parias, also having to incorporate in their lives the oppresive rules of behavior that women have in Iran. All this to say that religious people often have weird ideas about gender and sex, that help them to keep opressing minorities. To end in a positive light: OMG! King James has a beautiful skin!!

Great video. My parents were big fans of the 700 club when I was a kid growing up in Virginia. I remember it always being on tv. They also loved Oral Roberts and Billy Graham. I was dragged to see them speak every time they came to town. We were devout Southern Baptists. A lot happened after we moved out to Seattle when I was in middle school and my entire family left the church due to an incident I had with the youth minister. I won’t go into it now, but it was a fireable offense and the church didn’t do anything. I remember how racist my father used to be (sorry dad). It was embarrassing to have friends over and have them hear him talking smack, thinking he was funny but he was just being hurtful. I’m so glad he has changed his though the years. I ended up marrying a man whose family immigrated from India and while I knew my dad had shown a lot of growth over my then 27 years of life (I am 54 now), I was nervous to introduce my then boyfriend to my dad because I knew this was the man for me and I was not going to let my dad get in the way. My dad made me so proud. On our wedding day, well one of our weddings (we had 4 of them. A Christian wedding in Seattle which was the official ceremony, a Hindu ceremony in Seattle, a Hindu ceremony in Maryland for my husband’s family in the states, and a Hindu ceremony in India for his family there) but as I was saying for our Hindu wedding my dad was so excited to wear the traditional bandhgala suit and safa (hat). He spent a couple of months learning how to speak his lines in Hindi so that he could participate in the ceremony. He isn’t the same person that I remembered as a child making awful jokes. I don’t know if it was the culture that he grew up in having been born in 1936 and had a Free Mason for a father, but me dad has been accepting to my husband and a wonderful grandfather to our daughter. I never hear the snide comments anymore. Unless he’s talking about Trump. Then I approve wholeheartedly. Sorry for the long comment, but Pat Robertson reminds me so much of the bad parts of my childhood.

I’m 53, American and married to my Indian husband for 24 years. It’s been such a fun adventure. My parents were liberal hippies, but I did go to church with several friends and saw a lot of crazy warnings against yoga, meditation, Hinduism, ‘the occult’, Ouija Boards. The usual suspects. I did really enjoy all of those visits to lots of different churches, but they really did confirm my initial skepticism. My favorite was probably the Pentecostal church that a good friend took me to as an adult. They had the best band! That place was filled with music and I understood what they meant about feeling the Holy Ghost! I feel that same good feeling when I go to Concerts now. 😇🙏 I’m so happy that your family was able to embrace your husband. I still see too many sad stories where that doesn’t happen.

We played the 700 club every morning and I was always subjected to listening to it while I was at my desk, already hating my life. It was especially torturous when I worked the weekend morning shift, bc the only thing worse than being at work at 7 a.m. on a Saturday is hearing Pat Robertson's voice over the speakers when you go to the bathroom (yes, we had our station playing on speakers at all times in the bathroom). When Robertson died my republican boss had us run coverage on him online and on air for the rest of the day. I also had to field multiple questions from elderly callers about if they'd be able to watch the 700 club in the upcoming days.
