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.

Meh. We, too, lost millions in each war. And you don’t see US embracing LGTBSHRYUBNDINMF issues and elevating transgenderism.
Oh, wait.....
A baffling odd pairing, that...
The utter idiocy and hypocrisy of the LGBT community is beyond stunning.....a community expecting and demanding tolerance, yet giving no tolerance.
I seriously doubt that.
Long before that, I see a special event happening...
K9 Soylent Green!
GO FIDO!!
If I were Trump that’s how I would have responded to the Baby Balloon.
“That’s fine, it’s free speech, and the people of Great Britain have a right to free sp.....oh, that’s right, you DON’T! You just locked a man up for criticizing Islam.”
England has gone to hell in a hand basket.
We're talking addled brain function here... The effects of the perversion...
"If you worry about being labeled a bigot for expressing the view that certain people should not be entitled to their civil rights, then perhaps you should keep your views to yourself. Or rethink your position.
My well worn copy of the Constitution UTTERLY fails to mention any disgusting, sick perversion as a CIVIL RIGHT.
But I intend to keep it, before the deviants have it banned.
I think Pres. Trump has made his point in spades that Britain is now a less than free country on the verge of being fully Islamicized.
I’m often asked why don’t I visit London. I reply we have Muslims here where I live, and that what London really needs is a visit from the Luftwaffe after which the Brits will lecture us about our lax guns laws.
Oh - I forgot. The Jerries are busy committing suicide by Islam, too.
Dear local residents: since Islam forbids and punishes homosexuality in general and is four-square against gay marriage, perhaps you all should go into a room together and work it out, rather than worrying about a bus placard, not least because the bus placard doesn't say a word about either topic.
Now you know who your new masters are.
It really is the message they need to hear.

Today it was confirmed, advertising a Christian Service gives offence. Tomorrow, simply trying to hold a public Christian service or worship will be an offence. The day after, simply being a Christian will be an offence.
Tyrants but the truth they can never squash — try as they might.
