He says the city’s tolerance of homosexuals and recognizing “Gay Pride Month” with banners in the streets will bring the wrath of God on them, in the form of earthquakes, meteors, or bad weather. “I would warn Orlando that you’re right in the way of some serious hurricanes and I don’t think I’d be waving those flags in God’s face if I were you,” Robertson lectured on his radio show. Most residents shrugged the warning off, including Baptist minister Randy Young. “Orlando is a pretty moral town,” Young said. “If God was going to hurl a meteor at someone, you’d think he’d start with Las Vegas.” (RC/Reuters) ...Or, more likely, Pat Robertson’s house.
