Franklin Graham was in Russia last week where he fawned over Vladimir Putin to the local media, praised Russia’s anti-LGBT crackdown, and accused gays of taking “other people’s children.” Right Wing Watch has a quote:
“I have met the president [Obama] on several occasions. He’s a very nice person. But he supports and promotes policies that contradict the teachings of God. As a Christian I believe that abortion is murder, he supports it. Homosexuality and same-sex marriage — those are sins against God, and the president is promoting them. I’m not against homosexuals as people. But God commanded that marriage should be between a man and a woman. And I very much appreciate that President Putin is protecting Russian young people against homosexual propaganda. If only to give them the opportunity to grow up and make a decision for themselves. Again, homosexuals cannot have children, they can take other people’s children. I believe that President Obama (and I’ll repeat, he’s a very nice person) is leading America down the wrong road. He’s taking a stand against God.”
Graham went on to call for prayers for Putin, who unlike Obama isn’t defying God on homosexuality.
