Until now, Christian leader Franklin Graham has refrained from commenting on the controversy retail giant Target stirred with its decision to let transgender shoppers and employees choose which ever bathroom they want to use at any given time.
But Graham has finally weighed in and delivered a truth bomb that will send liberals screaming.
The famed Christian evangelist used his Facebook page to comment about the roiling controversy Wednesday and to warn his followers that Target is putting people “at risk” with its decision.

Graham delivered a solid paragraph detailing his response to Target’s policy and to support the boycott effort started by American Family Association.
The religious leader began his post with this warning: “Target is putting its shareholders — and its customers — at risk!”

“Just since last Wednesday over 517,000 people have signed a pledge to boycott Target over its new bathroom policy that welcomes employees and guests to use the restrooms or fitting rooms that ‘corresponds with their gender identity,'” Graham explained.
“Target certainly has the prerogative to make this decision,” Graham continued, “but it’s proving to be bad for business. I’m glad people are standing up and letting them know this is wrong. I agree with the American Family Association -– this policy encourages sexual predators and puts women and children in danger.”

But the crux of his message is that gender is something assigned by God, not some sort of ethereal “feeling.”
“A man shouldn’t be able to enter the women’s restroom or dressing room because he says he ‘feels like a woman today.’ That’s ridiculous. The fact is, gender identity isn’t something we choose or feel. We are the sex God created us to be-male or female. How a person feels doesn’t change the facts. Baltimore Raven’s tight end Benjamin Watson was right this week when he said “we are buying the lie that feelings trump all else and that how one feels can only be accepted and celebrated instead of addressed and challenged.”
Graham also did his part to help the American Family Association with its boycott effort by telling his own followers to sign onto the AFA boycott petition.
