July 10, 2013— -- quicklist: 1title: Pat Robertson Wants "Vomit" Button on Facebook for Gaystext:

Christian televangelist Pat Robertson, who has a knack for outrageous sound bites responded to a question about "liking" photos of gay couples on Facebook during his weekly television show. He said he was more interested in a "vomit" button.

"I'm not one that switches on 'likes' on Facebook so it's hard to say, but what you're saying is, 'Yes I like this kind of thing.' You've got a couple of same-sex guys kissing. You like that. Well, that makes me want to throw up. To me I'd want to punch 'vomit' not 'like,' but they don't give you that option on Facebook," Robertson said, laughing.
