New York City has made clear that Franklin Graham is no longer welcome – after the anti-LGBT+ preacher exploited the setting up of a tent hospital during the coronavirus crisis to discriminate against gay people and evangelise.

After weeks of scrutiny, it was announced over the weekend that the Central Park tent facility run by Graham’s charity Samaritan’s Purse will be wound up, closing to new patients from May 4, before the site is disinfected and dismantled. The eight patients currently being treated at the site will be moved elsewhere.

Notorious anti-LGBT+ evangelist Franklin Graham was granted permission to set up the site back in March, with NYC mayor Bill de Blaiso saying that he had received assurances the group – often criticised for exploiting disasters to evangelise – would not discriminate.

7. Yep. A time-honored tradition among Christians.

“What harm would it do, if a man told a good strong lie for the sake of the good and for the Christian church ... a lie out of necessity, a useful lie, a helpful lie, such lies would not be against God, he would accept them.“ - Martin Luther

He just exploits people by quoting the bible for profit.
