Franklin Graham, the head of Samaritan’s Purse, has compared transgender people to pedophiles and said gays would burn in the “flames of hell.” - NBCOUT
In a statement emailed to NBC News, Graham said, “Samaritan’s Purse treats everyone we help the same.”
“We do not make distinctions about an individual’s religion, race, sexual orientation, or economic status. We certainly do not discriminate, and we have a decades-long track record that confirms just that,” Graham stated. “This is a time for all of us to unite and work together, regardless of our political views. Let’s support one another during this crisis, and we pray that God will bless the efforts of all those battling this vicious virus.
Samaritan’s Purse did not respond to NBC News’ request for comment about Graham’s public call for “Christian” medical professionals to volunteer at the field hospital. Hoylman told NBC News that it’s “a shame that the federal government has left us in the position of having to accept charity from such bigots.”
“This health crisis is too delicate to leave it to televangelists, purveyors of the faith, to handle our medical needs,” Hoylman, who is gay, said. “This is a man, after all, who has said that the LGBTQ community recruits children, he’s said that families like mine are invalid, he compares the transgender community to pedophiles and perverts, so I think it would behoove us to watch him and his followers’ actions extremely closely.
