A conference venue in Liverpool has cancelled an event featuring American evangelist Franklin Graham.
Mr Graham, the eldest son of the late preacher Billy Graham, has said he believes gay marriage is a "sin".
He was due to speak at ACC Liverpool on 12 June as part of a UK tour.
But an ACC spokesperson said it had recently been "made aware of a number of statements which we consider to be incompatible with our values".
"In light of this, we can no longer reconcile the balance between freedom of speech and the divisive impact this event is having in our city.
"We have informed the organisers of the event that the booking will no longer be fulfilled.
"We are proud to represent all communities," the spokesperson added.
The BBC has approached The Graham Tour organisers for a response.
Its website says the events aim "to share the hope of Jesus Christ".
Liverpool mayor Joe Anderson tweeted that the cancellation was the "right" decision.
"Our city is a diverse city and proud of our LGBTQ+ community and always will be," he added.

Kiss Britain goodbye.
Liverpool is probably the most socialist city in Britain.

This is the fascist mindset of liberals everywhere. They believe in free speech. But only if that speech is 100% compatible with their values.
Amazing how diversity always excludes Christianity.
I heard the Reverend say
“Gay is probably normal in the Good Lord’s sight
What’s to be debated?
Jesus never stated what’s right”
I’m no theology nut, but
The Reverend may be a little confused
For if the Lord don’t care
And he chooses to ignore-ah
Tell it to the people
Of Sodom and Gomorrah
Whatever happened to sin?

Has anyone shared that with their “muslim community”?
The whole country has been since the 50’s.
I lived there. If I heard ONE MORE person say “never mind”....I’d tear my hair out.
They accept government control. Period.
This is a very poorly written article.
ACC Liverpool is a type of conference center. They are the ones that canceled the event, or more accurately, are refusing to allow Graham and the organization, access to their conference center.
From the article it appears that event organizers, who profess Christ, suddenly decided to drop Graham because of his biblical position that the practice of homosexuality is a sin. This is not the case.
You have nailed it succinctly......................
An auditorium full of tables and chairs has "values"?
They are afraid that the Muslims will riot and burn the city. It has nothing to do with values.
F the Brits!! They have given up their nation, and spied on ours. I worked for years with their MoD and their Home Office.
Slimy two-faced pieces of S^^T!!!
Wear it as a “badge of honor”, Franklin.
UK is sunk
“made aware of a number of statements which we consider to be incompatible with our values”
And which values are those? Rhetorical question.
A pox on the UK.
NATO is a damned joke.
Apparently not.
