The 93-year-old Billy Graham has decided that America needs to know good and real good that southern Baptist homophobia is alive and well among the senior (senior senior) sect. Hiding behind the guise of Christianity, he took 
out a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal Thursday to plead with other 
white grand-papas to vote for Nit-Mitt Romney.Mr. Graham caterwauls in the advert: "The legacy we leave behind for our children, grandchildren and this great nation is crucial. As I approach my 94th birthday, I realize this election could be my last.
"It is vitally important that we cast our ballots for candidates who base their decisions on biblical principles and support the nation of Israel. I urge you to vote for those who
protect the biblical definition of marriage between a man and a woman. Vote for biblical values this November 6, and pray with me that America will remain one nation under God."Graham—and his son Junior, who appeared on CNN's Piers Morgan last week to proclaim pretty much the same (while refusing over and
again to address the question of whether Mormon Mitt Romney is a "true Christian," amid the family's "religious" organization only recently striking its definition of the Mormon religion as a "cult")—is also a staunch opponent of women's rights to choose.Gawker points out that WSJ's average readership comprises 57-year-old (white) men, who probably already hate gays and couldn't give a shit about women's equality. I'm delighted that Graham pretty much threw his money into the dumpster. His Evangelical Association is placing the same ad in USA Today Friday. Glory be to divine prejudice. True Christianity is anything but such enduring hate. *
