Franklin Graham's Extremely False Claims About the Senate's Same-Sex Marriage Protection Base

On Wednesday the U.S. Senate will begin the process of debating and likely passing the Respect for Marriage Act, bipartisan legislation that merely attempts to keep the status quo on marriage equality by requiring states to recognize all legal marriages of same-sex couples. It does not require states to allow same-sex couples to marry. Despite its sponsors extreme efforts to ensure existing religious rights are not compromised, far-right-wing Christian activist Franklin Graham is making extremely false claims about the legislation and riling up his supporters on social media.

Please be aware that the battle for equality will be ongoing and never let up. To all, stay strong against these bigots and haters.

Love from Ohio

on love your neighbor as yourself, love your enemy and don't hide your light under a basket. These are the instructions Jesus said you must live by to prove your faith.

Whether or not you believe, Jesus' teachings are very liberal and he always sides with the oppressed. He wouldn't be allowed in their churches if he walked in. A brown skinned, socialist who sides with the oppressed

Jesus would not be permitted in any evangelical church today. They would crucify him all over again.

To beat up on minorities, women and the poor. If you are a less powerful group in society, you are attacked by a religion.

All for pleasing an imaginary super daddy in the sky? I think not.
