Evangelist Franklin Graham, the son of Billy Graham, attacked President Obama's preparations to make the Stonewall Inn and its surroundings a National Park.
Said Graham on Facebook:
A monument to sin? That's unbelievable. War heroes deserve a monument, our nation's founding fathers deserve a monument, people who have helped to make America strong deserve a monument — but a monument to sin? The Washington Post reports that President Obama is poised to declare the first-ever national monument in New York recognizing “the struggle for gay rights.” It's no surprise that the three officials who represent the area and support the monument are all openly gay. I can't believe how far our country has digressed. I hope that the president will reconsider. Flaunting sin is a dangerous move. God's Word tells us, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34).
Among the other pro-gay things Graham hates: The Girl Scouts, Target, The White House, Wells Fargo, The Boy Scouts, and some parents.
Graham also went on a rant about NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio's remarks this week urging New Yorkers not to patronize Chick-fil-A restaurants in the city.
Can you imagine a city where a popular, successful business is singled out and attacked by the mayor who calls for a boycott—all because the business owners let it be known that they operate by Christian principles and believe in God's definition of marriage? You don't have to imagine. That's exactly what just happened to one of America's most successful businesses. Chick-fil-A has almost 2000 restaurants and sales of more than $6 billion annually. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone that doesn't like their chicken sandwiches—and their high quality service. I have known the owners of Chick-fil-A, the Cathy family, for many years and have great respect for them. They just opened a new store in New York and Mayor De Blasio took the gloves off and came after them, calling for a boycott. Doesn't this sound like bullying, intolerance, and discrimination? All because someone won't roll over to the LGBT agenda.
I hope Chick-fil-A has record sales in their New York stores—and tell them how much you appreciate them in the comments below.
