Homosexuality

Though William Branham preached against homosexuality, his close associate Lee Vayle alleged that some of Branham's other close associates were homosexual. According to Vayle, Gene Goad, Leo Mercier, and Frary von Blomberg were homosexual, which is partially confirmed in the California Supreme Court trial of Keith Loker. William Branham displayed public signs of affection with these and other men, either by holding hands or laying his head upon their crotch.

In 1961, William Branham was accused by the ministerial association of homosexuality. He admitted having been accused in June of 1961.

But, see, what did it do? (Then the man was picked up right there by the—the FBI from here, sent up there and picked him up up there, the Royal Mounted Police.) And the ministerial association come to me, and, "A homosexual," they say, "why, Brother Branham's probably the same thing. Branham, William. 1961, Jun 18. Revelation, Chapter Five #2. 61-0618

Men in Branham's inner circle were aware that members of Branham's campaign team were homosexual. In July of 2000, Lee Vayle who worked closely with William Branham publicly confessed that Gene Goad, Leo Mercier, and others were homosexual.

And at that time there was with that group that went to Europe, a Christian Full Gospel businessman, identified with them, named Faery Von Blomberg-even the name is typical-Fairy? Not trying to be facetious, but look at it. It's absolutely true. That was his name, and he was an avowed homosexual.

I believe it was about 1956 and no later, that Leo and Gene, Leo Mercier and Gene Goad, God told Bro. Branham to hire them; two homosexuals. So I want you to get the drift of what I'm saying. This, what I'm talking about here, where God made Himself known, and through a prophet, is where men turned back and the homosexuals were standing right there to take over.
