Franklin Graham Facing MAJOR Backlash After Revealing This Plan for Christians
The Supreme Court is on the verge of making a decision that will change the way gay couples are perceived in the United States. It is poised to make a decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, a same-sex marriage case against a florist who refused her services to a couple wanting a floral arrangement for their wedding. The decision could come any day now.
This case has liberals and conservatives alike on the edge of their seats in anticipation. One person who has expressed concern over which way the court will lean is evangelist Franklin Graham.
As a popular Christian leader, Graham is using social media to voice his concerns over this landmark court case. On Friday, Graham posted a comment on Facebook, attacking the idea of doing business with establishments that promote or associate themselves with homosexual couples. He urged his followers to take up the cause and not frequent companies that “promote sin.”
The statement from Graham is causing a stir in the internet world. It has 92,936 likes, 9,611 comments, and has been shared 41,358 times. The reactions to Graham’s call to boycott businesses that promote gays are split. While some are applauding his effort to support businesses that are keeping their standards more in line with Christian values, others are accusing him of being a bigot and a false prophet.
Adding fuel to the fire that Graham started, he is also actively using his charity, “Samaritan’s Purse,” and recently started a new fund to help companies that have said they would not provide services to gay couples. This is all in an effort to assist businesses that have been forced to be in opposition to the government. It can be costly to go to court, so Graham’s charity is helping to ease the burden of the costs on these individuals.
Despite all the attention it has garnered, according to the Facebook post, Graham will be “putting his money where his mouth is,” literally. In his post, he stated that he will be moving banks, in order to be affiliated with a bank that does not promote homosexuality. He has not posted anything since the original post, so it appears he will move forward with his original intentions.
