Frankly, Franklin needs to pass on like his dear old dad. He does not represent the new generation of Christians who are more welcoming to all. It's funny how Graham's generation are so closed to most everyone who is different. Their generation are the ones who have made this country so WASPish. It's gotta change and it's
going to change, whether they like it or not. I no longer follow the Christian faith, but when I did, I viewed the judgement they're so quick to dish out none of anyone's business. God told people to share his "good news" full stop. Not to judge people. Not to do anything but spread his story. Seems to me you'd get more people to join your "club" if you didn't criticize those who joined or wanted to join.
South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, a Democratic presidential candidate, has been facing a lot of criticism from conservative Christians due to his outspokenness about his own Christian faith and his experience as a married gay man.
On Wednesday, Rev. Franklin Graham, son of evangelist Billy Graham and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, criticized Buttigieg’s sexuality and called into question his standing as a Christian.
Graham tweeted, “Mayor Buttigieg says he’s a gay Christian. As a Christian I believe the Bible which defines homosexuality as sin, something to be repentant of, not something to be flaunted, praised or politicized. The Bible says marriage is between a man & a woman—not two men, not two women.”
