Since Pat Robertson is currently roasting in Hell if such a place exists, I'll act on his behalf and say that's a misquote not even within the bounds of paraphrasing:

“We have given the ground to a small minority,” he said. “You figure, lesbians, one percent of the population; homosexuals, two percent of the population. That’s all. That’s statistically all. But they have dominated—dominated the media, they’ve dominated the cultural shift and they have infiltrated the major universities. It’s just unbelievable what’s being done. A tiny, tiny minority makes a huge difference. The majority—it’s time it wakes up.”

Oh no this tiny minority wants to stop being murdered and oppressed, they've infiltrated all of society with their desire to exist and live a normal life not hurting anyone, the majority better wake up and do something about this.

It's also "stop hitting yourself" abusive DARVO bullshit, because the only reason they need to "dominate the media" is because of fuckwads like him obsessively persecuting them as an out-group.

Especially because that fuckwad would certainly call an accurate proportion of a movie cast being not straight (something like 1 in 10) "completely dominating the media"

Thanks for posting the full quote. Still, it's not much better. Even if queer folk only made up 3% of the population, did Pat not consider that straight people would support them? Perhaps even a significant portion of the population?

Oh, the quote is rancid; it's just not readily exploitable into a sex joke about Pat Robertson.

Counterpoint: the OP readily exploited it into a sex joke about Pat Robinson.

"It" is doing Atlas-level lifting in this sentence unless completely changing a quote and then making a sex joke about that straw quote counts.

Counterpoint: OP readily includes Pat Robertson's sex life in their exploits.

So, keeping with right-wing tradition, the quote that's taken out of context is worse with the full context.

I wish I was being dominated by homosexuals 😢

Or bisexuals. Or pansexuals. Or straights who are sufficiently of-queer-culture as to not be weirdos. I'm not picky 🥹

24

I wish I was dominanted by homosexuals, especially lesbians. Or bi women, or pan women, or literally just any women, I love women.
