The 93-year-old is against gay marriage, and has been strangely polarizing lately.

This says it all. When Billy Graham was born, you could be locked up for being gay, or if people found out you were gay, they would view you as some sick deviant and might try to kill you. There was not one Demoract in Congress who would even think of gay marriage, much less support it. Hell, there probably wasn't one Democrat in Congress who didn't think that gays should be locked up.

But now the social debate has moved very, very, very far to the Left. Now people who support what EVERYONE supported even 20 or 30 years ago are considered strangely polarizing. Its as if everyone is required to jump on the Leftist bandwagon at the same time or else they are vilified.

I'm not saying gays should be locked up or vilified. I am happy we live in a world where that doesn't happen anymore. But to say that those who support a traditional religious (not just Christian) view of marriage are strange and polarizing is laughable and sad.

The debate has went so far beyond simply living and let living. Mostly Americans did exactly that even from the time of the founding. Homosexuality was usually ‘found out’ in the context of molestation and was considered rightly a disorder. It still has the hallmarks of a disorder but the role of molestation in sexual imprinting of homosexuals can not even be discussed politely or researched seriously without outbursts by gay activists trying to shut the research down. What we are seeing is what the future will hold for anyone who dares disagree with the ‘Pink Hand’.
