Leading U.S. televangelist Pat Robertson uses his Christian Broadcasting Network`s June 8th "700 Club" show to warn of foul weather ahead for Orlando, Florida ("hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes and possibly a meteor") because the city had okayed the lightpole display of some 720 rainbow flags for Pride month ("I don`t think I`d be waving those flags in God`s face if I were you") and because of the previous weekend`s unofficial "Gay Day" at nearby Disney World ("The acceptance of homosexuality is the last step in the decline of Gentile civilization"). This less-than-reverent report by This Way Out`s GREG GORDON includes excerpts from pious Pat`s pronouncements, and brief comments by a couple of unimpressed Orlando residents, Barry W. Lynn of Americans United For Separation of Church and State, and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation`s Jennifer Einhorn [2:30] ..................................................................... 2:50 SEGMENT #4 - In 1977 the addition of protections for gays and lesbians to Dade County, Florida`s anti-discrimination ordinance sparked a long and bitter fight between religious conservatives, led by singer Anita Bryant, and a politically-inexperienced gay and lesbian community.
