Pat Robertson today, just in time for family Holiday gatherings, gave advice on how to pray for your gay relatives — who, of course, fell into the “gay lifestyle” because they were sexually abused as a child.

On his “700 Club” show, Robertson, now 83 years old and a multi-millionaire, told one viewer that homosexuality itself is a “very delicate situation.” The octogenarian televangelist tried so hard to be “delicate” himself, but just could not restrain his biblical calling.

“A few years ago psychiatrists and psychologists used to say that homosexuality was a mental illness. Now the Supreme Court has said that it is a protected right,” Robertson told his co-host.

Responding to the viewer, who wanted to pray for her 30-year old nephew but thinks he needs to pray for himself, Robertson asked, “So what’s he going to pray about? Is he going to say something is wrong and he’s unhappy? And if he’s unhappy and realizes he is doing something that makes him miserable, you might help him.”

Gay people, Robertson insisted, “need to be shown the Bible. What does the Bible say about this? The Bible is explicit about [homosexuality]… But many, many people are into this lifestyle because they have been abused, as a child, and so forth.”

So, rather than launch into a condemnation of sexual abuse of minors — which, regardless, does not make people gay — Robertson urged the viewer to “pray that the Lord will show him his love and his truth and out of that he will find an acceptance of where God has for him.”

Robertson did offer support, as he has in the past, to transgender men and women. So, that’s a plus.
