Billy Graham has thrown his hat into the political arena once again, endorsing Minnesota's proposed constitutional amendment against same-sex marriage. (The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association was long headquartered in Minneapolis.)
CT recently examined whether the famed evangelist has suddenly turned political, given debate over a series of public statements by Graham this year (including a current "Vote Biblical Values" national ad campaign and support for presidential candidate Mitt Romney, former governor Mike Huckabee's "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day", and a North Carolina ban on same-sex marriage).
Short answer? A biographer and a historian say yes, while Graham's longtime spokesman says no.
CT also queried experts on whether the BGEA should have removed Mormons from a list of "cults."
