Franklin Graham: 'Rainbow' White House Was 'Outrageous'

  • by: Alan Duke

Evangelist Franklin Garrett took to Facebook on July 3, 2015 to blast President Obama's decision to light up the White House in rainbow colors to celebrate last week's Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.

"This is outrageous--a real slap in the face to the millions of Americans who do not support same-sex marriage and whose voice is being ignored," Graham wrote.

Obama misused the rainbow, which Graham insisted was created by God for a special anti-gay propose: "God is the one who gave the rainbow, and it was associated with His judgment. God sent a flood to wipe out the entire world because mankind had become so wicked and violent. One man, Noah, was found righteous and escaped God's judgment with his family. The rainbow was a sign to Noah that God would not use the flood again to judge the world."

Instead of a symbol of celebration, the rainbow is a warning to sinners, Graham wrote. "So, when we see the gay pride rainbow splashed on business advertisements and many people's Facebook pages, may it remind all of us of God's judgment to come. Are you ready? Are your sins forgiven?"

Graham is the son of Rev. Billy Graham, who was legendary for his close relationship with a long line of U.S. presidents and who often visited the White House to pray with them.
