Franklin Graham, son of evangelist Billy Graham, on Thursday condemned President Barack Obama’s endorsement of marriage equality for gays and lesbians, and said the President has “shaken his fist” at God.
Graham, who is president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, supported Tuesday’s passage of Amendment One in North Carolina, a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, civil unions and domestic partnerships.
Franklin Graham
In a statement posted on the BGEA’s website, Graham said the institution of marriage “should not be defined by presidents or polls.”
“On Tuesday my state of North Carolina became the 31st state to approve a constitutional amendment defining marriage as being between a man and a woman. While the move to pass amendments defining marriage is relatively new, the definition of marriage is 8,000 years old and was defined not by man, but by God Himself.
“In changing his position from that of Senator/candidate Obama, President Obama has, in my view, shaken his fist at the same God who created and defined marriage. It grieves me that our president would now affirm same-sex marriage, though I believe it grieves God even more.”
Graham said Obama’s support for same-sex marriage “is a sad day for America.”
“May God help us,” he said.
Graham’s father, the Rev. Billy Graham, took out full-page advertisements in 14 North Carolina newspapers last weekend urging voters to support the marriage ban.

Well Im going to pray to God that people like him will love their neighbor as themselves! : )
Sorry …..WTF does he know? Ignorant fool have no foundation to their opinion
May God forgive them because I do not.
A bigot like his ol’ bigot daddy.
Really? He acts like gay marriage will put a rift in the space time continuum… These people are nutters..
If there was she would have already.
Ignorance is truly bliss for a lot of people.
When people like Graham start railing against greed and the wealthy and standing up for the poor, then you can start believing them!
He will answer to the Good Lord himself on judgement day for hating people that God creatured. God don’t like ugly.
The rest of the world condems the Graham’s for its years of bullying, homophobia and bigotry.. May you burn in your hell you have created for others.
Does he not know marriage existed long before the judeo-christian religions took over? & even after marriage was about money and property hence a dowry. Idiot.
The Graham family knows nothing about God. They never have.

Stop posting these LGBTQ nation..im gonna go crazy!!!!! LOL
@ Mark…RIght on, bro!!! :
I think that rather than attacking their stance. we should enshroud them in love and pity for their ignorance, their hatred, their lack of love and understanding. It seems to me that by harsh words and criticism we’re embracing the same ideology that created their stance against us. By love and enlightenment we can conquer all, and bring them to a greater understanding. By hatred and condemnation, we’re only allowing them to bring us down to their level. I hope that we may all come to a greater understanding, compassion, and show them the way by our love and show that we are more Christ-like in our loving the sinner, while hating the sin.
actualy even the Old Testament notions of marriage would not even fit”REVEREND” Grahams notions…..how many wives did FATHER ABRAHAM have and how many CONCUBINES?
MY God is loving.. his god is hateful…
why is america basing everything on a christian aspect if this is supposed to be the land of the free… yea in the BIBLE it says gays are a sin, but where the hell does it say that in the CONSTITUTION??
But Billy Graham does NOT like many of his sons divisive positions. I saw him in an interview and he said that.
Shut the fuck up, Franklin Graham! Leave LGBTQ LOVE alone! I hate Racism and Homophobia!!!!
Nothing wrong with Christians stating what they believe anymore then the homosexual community stating what they believe. This will always be at a stalemate.
Franklin~~~GO AWAY……..
and what about the neat idea that if a man dies his brother has to marry the widow? what happened to these grand ideas along the way?
I’m fairly certain that Franklin Graham’s has been banned from preaching at various Church’s around the nation? I just can’t seem to remember Why?….:}
The more noise these hate filled people spew in the name of God, the more money they make off the ignorant.
Seriously??
Stupid Homophobic A hole… Take that and pray about it Honey
-cough- ahcu sorry i have an allergic allergy to bigotry and hypocrisy along with bible humpers.
Sorry to be rude but he can just suck my cock! Fuck him and the old tired horse he rode in on! I will no longer accept being less than he is. WE ARE EQUAL!
fuck him. and everyone that agrees with him.
You simple can not argue with stupid !!
Until they take the same hateful and volatile stance against tattoos and polyester then no they have no right to spew one small erroneously viewed section of the bible.
What a condescending twat. Did it occur to you, Mr. Graham, that I am as much a child of your imaginary sky-daddy as you are? May the Great Pumpkin help you!
dislike him.
Question: what has Christianity to do with the American Constitution?
Shouldn’t be defined by the President or the polls – and in the same article it says that he asks the voters to vote against marriage equality. Idiot.
God loves love. Two man, two woman, a men and a women, who cares as long as they love each other? These are just ignorant people who don’t know how to adapt the holy books to society.
He looks drunk.
There are more important things in this world then attacking people who are wanting to commit to the person they love, like poverty, homelessness, and violence. But for people like him and others who use their religions and beliefs to attack – rather than help – humanity, we being LGBT and wanting to get married will be the downfall of civilization Love the backward thinking. All we can do is kill them with kindness and be the better person.
Fuck him! Stop living off the weak you pathetic piece of shit!
Better ask God to Examine your Brains. When God handed out perfect brains, you got A Pile of ashes. Hmmm must be like the Scare Crow no Brains.
this is not a suprise considering he is the son of a bigot, just proves once again there is NO seperation of church & state. Ignorant, self righteous, religous zealot!
He’s just like the ones who thought interracial marriages would lead to problems which they haven’t. Same sex marriage will be accepted too and when people look back they will think the same thing that it should be allowed
The Grahams will do anything to get richer. Franklin is such a lame imitator of his father. Those two dummies don’t believe in Fredom of Religion so why should anyone care what they think. They are unamerican.
Why not, how many politicians and people wasted making Billy Graham a Bigot Millionaire?
“us” who is he referring to his followers?
Jeni, you are so right! Shameful that People of Color seem to share this view. How quickly they forget? And, oh be damned if you are Black and LGBT collectively!
I’m a North Carolinian. I have zero respect for Billy Graham, and even less for Franklin. I hate religious charlatans, and I won’t back down in my criticisms.
God loves ALL of us…Gay, lesbian, straight…whatever. God IS love. That includes everyone.
the big problem I see with this religion is how can one believe an omnipotent god would create a world, then hate most of it o.o
I will pray for Franklin’s soul, I pity the man, may God have mercy on that bigot.
pff. i wont pray to a fictitious creation, I am happy to hate the fucker and will gladly punch him in the face if I ever meet him…
Like his Father, he is wrong in so many ways and lives in fear of what he does not understand.
@ John Mattson, I love every word that just came off your fingertips!!
Why must these people have to keep pushing there fairy tale views on us.
US???? May God HELP YOU!! You are goin’ about this all wrong, just like your father . And know that HE is watching!! Quit preaching Hatred!!
“If you’re going to act like a bitch, Then you are going to die like a bitch.” Madonna
Once again “Separation of Church and State”
I say tax the churches as the super rich entities they are… then you can give a tax break to the poor and middle class…. and still be ahead
May God help you to stop being a selfish bigot
excuse me while I tell you what Jesus said about gays and gay marriage…. Oh,well will you look at that, HE DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!
People need to stop hating so much and accept something that has been going on for thousands of years. I wish Rome had never died, maybe we’d be passed this stupid bigotry.
May God Help Frank Graham to understand unconditional love.
Isn’t that great…Billy Graham is passing on his wonderful family values!
I think if you’re gay and Christian, you should pray to God and ask him to legalize gay marriage in the US. Bigots, Y U NO LOGICAL??
Two points here 1.) He sure is not his father who was a profound evangelist and let the judgments be God’s job and, 2.) Marriage is not described in the Bible as between one man and one woman for the simple reason that during Christ’s time on the Earth was the same time that most people had MANY WIVES !! Read your Bible Franklin !
I agree with his plea for God to help them. Help them to be true to him and the message Jesus taught which is not the hatred they are teaching to everyone.
What a shame.
God won’t save you now. Don’t be scared homosexuals are people too, you close minded lumpkin.
What’s GOD got to do with it? Wanting to share your life with the person you love is and should be a Civil Right, a human right. It is not a right ordained by some GOD! All I can say to Billy Graham’s son is, MAY GOD HELP YOU!
…yeah and they said the same thing when women were allowed to wear pants…and leave the house…and vote…and get jobs…and then came the civil rights movement…blacks could ride in the front of the bus…and go to white schools…and eat at white cafes…blacks and whites could even get married…they think they have some f#cking exclusivity to the damn constitution…its the United STATES of America…not the United CHURCH of America…lol…like there would ever be a united church…theres like a hundred different variations and they all read the same book…HAH!
LOL…he is a fool!!!
Haters gonna hate
LGBT Families Matter = Graham Families Matter, not, the bigotry he is espousing. Marriage equality for all families not just his.
FU Billy Graham Cracker Jr.!
fucktard:)
go ahead, picket the white house
I trump him with Oral Roberts grandson, Randy Roberts Potts who endorses Obama!
This guy is a jerk and he sure does not believe in the same god I do!!!!!!!!!!!
Shut up you bigoted little worm.
Oh God help us all – now we’re gonna to have to put up with Franklin.
yes may God help us with these hateful bigots!
The Graham family can go bang there bibles. Religion & politics are not the same group, even though they make it seem like that.
Dear Franklin, don’t you see? He IS.
Religion and politics should be kept separate.I am also fairly sure that using the bible and gods teachings and the christian people for money is a sin too… lol. It is for no one but GOD to decide who will go to heaven and who will not. The Graham’s are no better than any of the rest of us, and should remember Matthew 7:1. Now some will argue that we need to pass judgement in certain cases…of course like murder and all that, sure, people need to be punished. But I am talking about the personal life choices (or as I believe not so personal choices- as being gay i think a lot of people are just born this way and it cannot be helped). You are supposed to be a good person and try and make good choices. If you do this, and try to live a good life, I do not see why God would not love you and accept you for you. It seems silly to me for god to be that critical against others.
Dont post hatefull msgs remember there are christians like me who havent had a chance yet to see good loving lgbt people. i once was as saul was toward gays now im fighting for marriage equality. and for those whove only seen hate out of christians im here to tell you regardless of what my hatefull brethren say jesus died for you too and there are many charismatic evangelical born again christians who are either gay or progay. wont you please say a prayer and ask jesus into your heart
thank you Rob. I didnt used to be christian. I was raised christian and deviated to Wicca. I have studied many other religions in my short 24+ years. Unfortunately, some take their Christianity and use it as an excuse to act “holier than thou”, when we should all be working together and loving each other as brothers and sisters, regardless of religion, race, sexual orientations and any differences we may have. We are all broke from the same mold and instead of hating each other, we should focus on how to try and make things equal and better for everyone. Not all of us are bad eggs or bible thumping morons.
My best friend is wiccan and if christians as a whole believed that whatever you do will come back on you three fold the world would be a better place. love your neighbor as you love yourself is too easily ignored
um this is America and we have separation of church and state, and on the note about marriage being a christrian thing only that is not true, marriage was around before christianity. these people need to stop being full of hate and stop trying to make choices for others basted on their warped religious thinking. I am sure God is pure love not so full of hate and ignorance as this man. before america treated slaves and other minorities bad so does this guy believes that we should still have slaves in this country too. that guy disgust me like father like son in this case ignorant. if these people dont like living in a country where people have rights move to another country where people have no rights and shut the hell up.
He is helping, but you’re not understanding!
I condemn franklin graham.
The thrust of Jesus tales show him dealing with downtrodden and judged and mistreated groups in a compassionate and fair style. Maybe this IS God’s test. If so, congrats to Christians who are passing!
I think God is happy the President gets it, by realizing this isn’t about using a religion to attack and discriminate against people. This is about giving the same rights to everyone, specially in this Country where we claim to have freedom and the same liberties for all (unless you are gay of course). Separation of church and state also means nothing to these religious Nuts. It’s about equal rights for ALL, simple as that, PERIOD!!!
Consider the source.
I’m glad he is asking God to help him, because he needs it.
This hypocrite pulls in close to a million dollars a year from Samaritan’s Purse charity. That million bucks would provide a lot of shoe boxes filled with toothpaste, etc.to poor kids. I think God’s more concerned about that personally.
Jackass
God IS helping us….helping us evolve past petty discrimination and ignorance! Why do they call all sorts of other things miracles, but decry these things as some sort of Xtian apocalypse??
Why dont he stay in his private compound in North Carolina
Yes, may God help your choice of selfish love.
