LGBT activists and protesters displayed rainbow flags in the city of Blackpool to protest American evangelist Franklin Graham and the three-day "Festival of Hope."
"I'm glad to be in Blackpool, England, to preach the Gospel at the invitation of 200 area churches. This morning I went down to the historic Blackpool Tower where my father Billy Graham stood back in 1982 when he came here to preach," Graham wrote on Facebook Thursday, ahead of the first day of the evangelistic event.
"Will you pray this weekend, that many will turn to Jesus Christ and find the hope and peace that only He can give?" he asked.
Some LGBT and Muslims groups, along with a few Christian churches and local politicians in Blackpool, have spoken out against Graham this past year, arguing that he has preached messages on same-sex marriage and Islam that they find offensive.
The Guardian reported that the Blackpool Tower, mentioned by Graham, will be lit up in rainbow colors and will fly an LGBT flag in opposition to the conservative Christian evangelist.
"The council is a strong supporter of all equalities issues and we use the rainbow flag and its derivatives on a regular basis to demonstrate that support across the whole year," a council spokesperson said.

God Gave Noah the Rainbow Sign
by Ralph Stanley
I've got a home in that Rock
Don't you see (don't you see)
I've got a home in that Rock, don't you see
I've got a home in that Rock
Just beyond the mountaintop
Tide me over, Rock of Ages, cleft for me
God gave Noah the rainbow sign
Don't you see (don't you see)
God gave Noah the rainbow sign, don't you see
God gave Noah the rainbow sign
No more water, but the fire next time
Tide me over, Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Poor old Lazarus, poor as I
Don't you see (don't you see)
Poor old Lazarus, poor as I, don't you see
Poor old Lazarus, poor as I
When he died he had a home on high
Tide me over, Rock of Ages, cleft for me
East and West the fire will roll
Hide Thou me (hide Thou me)
East and West the fire will roll; hide Thou me
East and West the fire will roll
How will it be with my poor soul
Tide me over, Rock of Ages, cleft for me
When this world's all on fire
Hide Thou me (hide Thou me)
When this world's all on fire; hide Thou me
When this world's all on fire
Let His will be my desire
Tide me over, Rock of Ages, cleft for me

The GiBLeTs don’t even recognize that their disagreement is with the Bible. Franklin is just the messenger.

The UK needs a revival...BIG TIME!!! Has needed for years! I just returned from there on a missionary trip.
It's amazing the place with so much Christian history and influence is spiritually dead.
