RUSSIA: Franklin Graham Pants Over Vladimir Putin, Praises Ban On “Gay Propaganda”

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.
