BREAKING NEWS – Charlotte, North Carolina – Evangelist Franklin Graham is hitting back at PayPal’s decision to cancel plans to expand to Charlotte, North Carolina, in protest over the state’s enactment of a controversial transgender bathroom bill, saying that the company deserves the “hypocrite of the year award!”
“Congressman Robert Pittenger made a great point yesterday: ‘PayPal does business in 25 countries where homosexual behavior is illegal, including 5 countries where the penalty is death, yet they object to the North Carolina legislature overturning a misguided ordinance about letting men in to the women’s bathroom? Perhaps PayPal would like to try and clarify this seemingly very hypocritical position,’” Graham wrote on his Facebook page.
Pay Pal CEO Daniel Schulman responded by saying, “Yes we do business with countries that kill gays simply because they are gay. But in those cases, the person’s struggle with homosexual issues are done at the point they lose their life. However, in North Carolina their laws can potentially hurt some one’s feelings or even cause discomfort for a sustained period of time. The difference is long suffering, and I feel that is intolerable.”
