Everybody knows God only uses the men's room. That's foundational.

The way the issue of bathrooms was handled in Ireland is that you walk into a single room with stalls. All the stalls have a full sized door without gaps on the sides, top or bottom. Everyone washes their hands at the same sinks but everyone has privacy in their individual stall. Europeans tell me that they think that US single gender bathrooms are set up very strangely because our bathroom stalls lack any of the usual privacy they expect and get even in non-gender specific in bathrooms.

When I was in Israel, a very conservative nation, it was not at all unusual for the cleaning lady to be in the mens room while men were using the urinals. Basically Americans have the bathroom hang ups and nutters like Franklin Graham exploit our general prudishness.

I don’t care what person is in a bathroom stall as long as they flush before it is my turn to use it.

This is the sort of thing that gets inflated into persecution and made an example of the deliberate "liberal bias" of the media and the coming persecution of the church, specifically conservative, "Bible believing", gospel preaching churches, not necessarily the liberal kind.

Franklin Graham has allowed his political opinion to interfere with his stated gospel mission and ministry and has to deal with the consequences of that. But this doesn't cross a boundary into "hate speech."

I have a high threshold of tolerance of offensive speech, myself. Facebook is thoroughly unpredictable on this, and I think part of it is the dependence (on the part of FB and many other Internet forums) on humanly unsupervised algorithms.

Franklin's guests were Roger Ailes, Rupert Murdoch, and Donald Trump. Read the Battle Lines chapter of Jill Lepore's These Truths.

Franklin Graham is an unwitting soul molester.
