Protester Arrested At Central Park Tent Hospital Tied To Anti-Gay Evangelical Franklin Graham

Samaritan’s Purse is operating the 68-bed field hospital in the park under the auspices of the Mt. Sinai Health System. It was founded by Franklin Graham, son of the late televangelist Rev. Billy Graham, who has accused the LGBTQ community of the “deepening depravity” of America. To volunteer at the hospital, Samaritan’s Purse requires a signed statement of faith, which says that “marriage is exclusively the union of one genetic male and one genetic female.”
