Pat Robertson: Progressive agenda would 'destroy any semblance of the Christian morality' in America
Evangelist Pat Robertson said that the move to allow transgenders to use restrooms and similar facilities that do not correspond with their sex at birth is yet another attempt at destroying the Judeo-Christian fabric of America.
Robertson expressed that only a small portion -- less than one percent -- of the population "are so-called transgenders," but he questions why there is such a big fuss, why the Justice Department needs to get involved, and why federal government come up with mandates.
"It's the constant driving of the agenda of anti-Christian bias. We're going to destroy any semblance of the Christian morality that exists in our country, and our government is going to be at the forefront of it," Robertson said during an interview with CSN News. "That's what you're looking at. It's one more attempt by the so-called progressives to destroy the Judeo-Christian fabric of America."
He finds that there is no issue about people having to use restrooms designed for their corresponding biological organ. It's no big deal, he said, and wonders why people are making some cause about it.
However, letting males enter girls' locker rooms is a worrying thought.
"If you've got some voyeur who likes to look at little girls with no clothes on, and you turn him loose in a female locker room, it's crazy," he said, calling it "a breakdown of traditional morality."
Patterson expressed that no one is being discriminated against, but the Justice Department came out with a ruling saying that North Carolina's bathroom privacy law is discriminatory. This is why, he said, people in the United States are calling for change and to replace "the bunch of clowns running the show."
"That's why the country is mad, they're furious," he said. "They don't want this so-called progressive agenda being jammed down their throats."
NC's House Bill 2, the Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act that was signed into law by Gov. Pat McCrory, bans people from using facilities like restrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms and shower rooms that do not correspond to the gender stated on their birth certificate.
