Robertson quotes the Bible and invokes the founding fathers often during his 50-minute speech. He also quotes Romans 1:26–32, widely used to decry homosexuality.
Robertson added that the Bible states those who don't believe in God will "dishonor their bodies with one another, degrade each other," with "gross sexual immorality," he said. "Is that going on in the United States of America? Look around."
