Franklin Graham Event Bus Ads Pulled in UK After Outcry From LGBT Community
The Christian Post ^ | 7/12/18 | Stoyan Zaimov

Bus ads promoting an upcoming evangelistic festival with Franklin Graham in England were pulled in response to outcry from LGBT communities.

"Blackpool Transport has recently been made aware of an advert in place on the side of some of our double decker buses," said a spokesperson for the company, according to the Blackpool Gazette.

"In light of customer feedback and reactions on social media which has resulted in heightened tension, we have taken the decision to remove all adverts relating to the 'Time for Hope' Festival with immediate effect. We will reimburse any income back to the advertising company.

"We work with multiple advertisers and third-parties and in no way do we endorse or support any advertisement which is placed on our vehicles."

Graham's Lancashire Festival of Hope is scheduled to take place at the Winter Gardens Blackpool on Sept. 21-23. While Graham is expected to focus his message on the Gospel, local residents complained and expressed opposition to the evangelist's stances on issues such as gay marriage and Islam.

Romans 1:28-32

28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.

29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips,

30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,

31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.

32 Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.

So, the ad didn’t say anything political, just an ad for the event? The very small minority groups hold waaaaay too much sway in Britain. I wonder if an ad for a Franklin Graham event, with no political commentary in the actual ad, would be banned here...........

... only until there are enough Muslims to change that, then Poofters will learn who is in charge and who is being thrown from buildings.

Samuel Alito predicted all of this in his dissent in the Obergefell case:

“The majority attempts, toward the end of its opinion, to reassure those who oppose same-sex marriage that their rights of conscience will be protected. . . . . We will soon see whether this proves to be true. I assume that those who cling to old beliefs will be able to whisper their thoughts in the recesses of their homes, but if they repeat those views in public, they will risk being labeled as bigots and treated as such by governments, employers, and schools.”

Graham is also a strong Trump supporter. I doubt that helped.

It won’t be long now.

Some Muslims (no doubt with some native clientele) can run their sex slave racket using the daughters of Englishmen (and Scots, Welsh or Irish too) and it’s seemingly treated as ordinary crime where they’re trying to concerve limited police resources in some cost benefit analysis rather than do anything much about it.

There’s still time yet to be a nation of Enochs ... just not much.

The UK has become hostile to the point of jailing those who do not toe the Party Line with their on version of the Ministry Of Truth.

George Orwell is smiling, somewhere...

Lotta queers in England.

Always have been, for at least a thousand years.
Tolerable, so long as they were in the closet.
They just need a bigger closet, but they keep resisting.

The koranimals will fix that.

Just a matter of how soon...
