Franklin Graham laments ‘moral failure’ at Disney, says company has ‘gone too far’

Franklin Graham warned that Disney has “gone too far” in its submission to LGBT activists after it pronounced its opposition to a parental rights bill in Florida.

Graham, the CEO of Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, took to Facebook Saturday to weigh in on the controversy surrounding Disney’s activism against the “Parental Rights in Education” law (House Bill 1557). The measure requires schools to notify parents about any healthcare services their child receives on campus. It also prevents educators from discussing topics related to sexual orientation and gender identity with students in kindergarten through third grade. While Disney is based in California, it operates the theme park Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

Initially electing to remain neutral on the bill, Disney ultimately joined a chorus of LGBT activists and progressive groups in deriding the measure as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Under pressure from LGBT-identified and allied Disney employees, a company spokesperson subsequently released a statement declaring that HB 1557 “should never have passed and should never have become law,” adding, “Our goal as a company is for this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts.”… (Excerpt from the Christian Post)
