Franklin Graham, the son of evangelist
Billy Graham, believes gay marriage “takes the family away.”
In a Brody Files interview,
Graham told host David Brody that President Barack Obama's second
term “will usher in the largest changes in our society since the
Civil War.” His reelection is proof that Americans have “turned
our back on God,” Graham said.
Graham and his famous father strongly
backed Mitt Romney's presidential aspirations. In full-page ads
taken out in key battleground states such as Ohio, Billy Graham urged
readers to “vote for candidates who support the biblical definition
of marriage between a man and a woman, protect the sanctity of life
and defend our religious freedoms.”
Gay marriage, Franklin Graham said on
the program, threatens society because it “takes the family away
and there is no way you can have a family with two females or two
males. If you just think biologically how God made us, our plumbing
is completely different.”
“There is no room for us to consider
gay marriage or same-sex marriage, that is redefining what God gave
us,” he
said. (The video is embedded on this page. Visit
