This article essentially says LGBTQ’s hate the Word of God and hate Jesus Christ. This is what the Rev Graham was preaching.

So they were “damaged” when Billy Graham told them that God loved them so much that He sent His son to die for their sins and that they should repent and sin no more?

What a load of painfully impacted crap.
Homosexuality is an abomination.

Their goal isn’t just pushing “marriage” in your face, it’s about indoctrinating your kids and grooming them.

...”those who claim homosexuality is compatible with Judaism or Christianity bear the burden of proof to reconcile this view with their Bible. Given the unambiguous nature of the biblical attitude toward homosexuality, however, such a reconciliation is not possible. All that is possible is to declare: “I am aware that the Bible condemns homosexuality, and I consider the Bible wrong.”

That would be an intellectually honest approach. But this approach leads to another problem. If one chooses which of the Bible’s moral injunctions to take seriously (and the Bible states its prohibition of homosexuality not only as a law, but as a value — “it is an abomination”), of what moral use is the Bible?”

They hit Graham for his speculation that AIDS is a punishment from God. One of the messages of the Bible is that actions have consequences. Is the judgment of God always God’s direct action, or can it be something that was just bound to happen when God’s law is disobeyed? I remember the first time I read an article on AIDS. It was in the 1980s in “The American Spectator” and I believe it may have been written by Patrick Buchanan. He wrote of the myriad of other diseases associated with homosexual sex acts, and commented that you can violate the ecology of the human body only so much before it bites back. It is a violation of nature and, if you will, God’s principles embodied in creation itself. Is that God’s judgment? Only God knows. But if Billy Graham warned people of the harmful consequences of their actions, as he did with all kinds of sins, how can that be damaging?

Leftards cannot stand to have anyone hold different views than they do.

They don't have a "Live and let live" philosophy.

This is their philosophy:

"I live the way I want and you have to change your views to suit me.
If you don't you're a despicable racist hate monger and shouldn't be allowed to live."

At the same time they see themselves as the most tolerant and inclusive people.

For many lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people, however, Billy Graham represented their best chance to repent and receive eternal life in heaven. Fixed it.

Tolerance is intolerable to Liberals.

It just isn’t good enough.

For a Conservative or Libertarian to say live and let live is some kind of Code Phrase or Trigger to them.

You must not only agree with their Lifestyle Choices, you must help promote it as normal. Otherwise you are a Hater.

Billy Graham, as are all followers of Christ, was commanded to love one another.

Homosexuality is one of the most self-destructive behaviors imaginable and leads to horrible disease and premature death.

How could Graham or any other Christian condone and celebrate such a thing when it brings about such injury and death?

People who condemn the behavior of the LBGT+, and yet are also the ones who stand between them and those that want to drop them headfirst off buildings.

What the heck is anyone talking about?

Lasting damage to the homosexual communities??? How???

They have won battles over homosexual marriage and other homosexual/transsexual issues. They have successfully mainstreamed homosexuality in our culture.

Billy Graham did not cause them to fail in their efforts for homosexual marriage and homosexual mainstreaming.
