Franklin Graham has sought to distance himself from a career of anti-queer persecution following a boycott by the Seattle Police Department.Graham had planned a special benefit for the Seattle PD, a dinner wherein members of the force could attend free of charge.
Unfortunately, given Graham’s hostility toward LGBTQ people, the Seattle Police and the city itself have criticized the event, going so far as to boycott it.Graham, for his part, insists the allegations of homophobia are unfounded.“We’re wanting just to have a dinner, and we’re inviting the police and their spouses … regardless of their religion or their sexual orientation or whatever,” Graham told Christian Headlines.
