Franklin Graham: Gays & Lesbians Who Adopt 'Recruiting' to Cause, Stands by Putin Admiration

Gays and lesbians who adopt children are ‘recruiting’ them to their cause claims evangelist Franklin Graham in his latest outspoken remarks about homosexuality.
Graham caused controversy last week when he praised Russian President Vladimir Putin for protecting children from gay 'propaganda' in a column in the March edition of Decision magazine.

Franklin Graham has been accused by his critics of steering the Charlotte-based Billy Graham Evangelistic Association away from his father's later-in-life emphasis on a loving God towards a conservative political agenda.
In his column in Decision magazine, Graham praises Putin as better than President Obama whose embrace of gay rights he said was 'shameful.'
'In my opinion, Putin is right on these issues,' Graham wrote. 'Obviously, he may be wrong about many things, but he has taken a stand to protect his nation's children from the damaging effects of any gay and lesbian agenda.
'Our president,' he continued, 'and his attorney general have turned their backs on God and His standards, and many in the Congress are following the administration's lead. This is shameful.
