Rev. Franklin Graham is dismayed over the news that former Olympian and now transgender activist Caitlyn Jenner has plans on posing nude for the cover of Sports Illustrated, "draped only in his Olympic gold medal and an American flag."
"What happens when you remove biblical standards and leadership from a country? Moral bankruptcy, that's what," he writes on his Facebook page. "As our culture abandons its once cherished Judeo-Christian foundation and values, godly traditions disappear and we sink deeper into secularism."
Graham says that headlines everyday only prove the sad state America is in. Aside from the news about Jenner, the evangelist says that people are now considering whether or not prostitution is really a crime because some people want "full decriminalisation of consensual sex work."
He is also alarmed by the news that fan-favourite Disney heroine Elsa from "Frozen" might be turned into a lesbian in the animated film's sequel. There have been demands on social media that Disney give Elsa a girlfriend in the next film, saying that "little kids need to learn that there's nothing wrong with being gay."
"What a lie!" says Graham. "This reveals their agenda to get the LGBT message to young children and influence their lives. God calls His people to be salt and light in a dark world. Pray for our nation, and get involved by standing up for God's truth and His righteousness."
Graham commended North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory and other state legislators who are standing against intimidation tactics by celebrities, political bigwigs, and large corporations to reverse House Bill 2, the state's controversial bathroom bill.
"Let's pray for Gov. McCrory and all those fighting this battle for what is right," he said.
