The Rev. Franklin Graham told fellow (conservative) Fundie Christians that they MUST be willing to have their heads chopped off in fighting gay rights. This is clearly part of the (far) right Christians' persecution complex as no one has suggested chopping anyone's head off (fighting gay rights or otherwise). On the other hand, it is simply unbearable being called 'a homophobic.'
From The New Civil Rights Movement:
Franklin Graham preached against homosexuality at the Family Research Council‘s annual Watchmen on the Walls conference yesterday, announcing, “we don’t want to be called ‘a homophobic.’” The 61-year old son of the charismatic televangelist Billy Graham, who now is president of his aging father’s business, also invited the LGBT community to behead him for his views against same-sex marriage and equal civil rights.
“Are we going to be cowards because we’re afraid?,” Franklin Graham, playing the self-inflicted victim card, posited. “Could we get our heads chopped off? We could, maybe one day. So what? Chop it off!”
Never has there been any threat of beheading Christians for their chosen views on homosexuality, and until four years ago, the majority of americans shared their views on same-sex marriage.
It should be reiterated here that we are speaking of very conservative evangelical Christians here. There are many more progressive Christians and Christian denominations which strongly support gay rights issues.
