'Ze' instead of 'he' or 'she'? What a ridiculous idea, says Franklin Graham

Gender equality is taking over the United States by storm, and now, Reverend Franklin Graham has found out that a university in Tennessee has suggested that instead of using the pronouns "he" or "she," students should replace it with the gender-neutral pronoun "ze."

"Are you kidding me? The University of Tennessee, Knoxville's Office of Diversity and Inclusion has issued a document asking students to use gender neutral pronouns instead of traditional pronouns," he wrote on his Facebook page. "Instead of 'she' and 'he,' the director of the university's pride center suggests students and faculty use 'ze.'"

He agrees wholeheartedly with the statement made by Senator Mae Beavers, who reacted with the same incredulity when she first heard the news: "It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard."

"Think of the money and positions being wasted by this office," said Graham. "God created male and female—you don't have to have a college degree to understand that. We're seeing this kind of thing more and more across the country as the secularists and progressives are pushing their godless agenda into our education system and corporate America. I know the good people of Tennessee don't go along with this nonsense! Maybe Tennesseans ought to write the university and suggest they close this office."

This is not the first time Graham voiced out his opinion against movements that support gender neutrality, homosexuality, and same-sex marriage. When the Supreme Court of the United States ruled recently that same-sex marriage is now legal in all of the country's 50 states, Graham was totally dismayed.

"With all due respect to the court, it did not define marriage, and therefore is not entitled to re-define it," he said. "I pray God will spare America from His judgment, though, by our actions as a nation, we give Him less and less reason to do so."
