CW: This video contains the violent arrest of Reverend Bill Talen, of Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping, and harmful racist, homophobic, and transphobic language spoken by Franklin Graham of Samaritan's Purse. During the 2020 COVID-19 crisis, Samaritan's Purse - an evangelical organization led by Franklin Graham - constructed a field hospital in Central Park. Given the organization's stance on LGBTQIA issues; homophobic, transphobic, and Islamophobic statements made by Graham; and the organization's requirement that individuals working for Samaritan's Purse must be Christians who oppose same-sex marriage, the hospital was met with criticism by LGBTQIA leaders, progressive religious leaders, and elected officials. LGBTQIA organizations, and others, protested the field hospital, inclusive of this action taken by Reverend Billy, in which he raises a rainbow flag next to the hospital. In May of 2020, the field hospital discharged its patients and dismantled its tents.
