Evangelicals across the country are mourning the death of Billy Graham, an influential preacher who died in his home in Montreat, North Carolina, on Wednesday. But while some are celebrating his legacy, others are grappling with the lasting damage his actions have done to their communities.
Over the course of Graham's 99 years of life, he reached millions of Christians around the world and had an outsized impact on the national political landscape. For many lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people, however, Graham was a crusader against them, one whose efforts shaped the religious right into an anti-LGBTQ political force.

Be hard to do any “lasting damage” to a “community” like that, I would think.

Sorry, I guess the words were Mr. Graham’s.

His glory is in his being persecuted for his love of Christ.

Reverend Graham was correct - homo activists are going to experience hellfire when the finally succumb to AIDS, etc.
He tried to save the many souls who fell under Lucifer’s influence, and they HATE him for what he tried to accomplish...

Billy Graham didn’t shape that view, the Bible did.
Sorry the LGBTQPRSTVW crowd is inconvenienced.

The homosexuals and lesbians can call their unions anything they wish and the laws of this country can sanction those unions too, but nothing's going to ever make God sanction those unions and His blessing is all that counts.

I have noticed that fewer an fewer reporters leave an email address. Not to many years ago the writers email would appear at the end of an article. No more. Can’t handle the heat.

Billy Graham repeating God’s words is not near as painful as disobeying God’s words.

Take it up with God, it’s not Billy who decided certain sex acts are abnormal and perverted.

It just confirms to me that for his faults, Billy Graham was,on the right side. The world hates him, so he did well.
When the world loves you, you know you are in big trouble.

“others are grappling with the lasting damage his actions have done to their communities.”
It wasn’t his actions that did the damage, it was those who performed the actions. Graham just pointed out how those actions were counter to God’s commandments.
