Franklin Graham Can´t Find A Gay Hostile Bank
- 5 years ago
Franklin Graham certainly knows how to generate a headline. The trouble is, it isn't always the right sort of headline.
He was widely ridiculed this week because he pulled the bank accounts of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association from Wells Fargo because it ran an ad featuring a lesbian couple with an adopted child. They were learning sign language because the child was deaf. Graham is opposed to gay people adopting children, once appearing to suggest that they did so to "recruit" them.
The irony was that the bank he moved to, BB&T, is just as 'gay-friendly' and indeed sponsored a Miami Beach Gay Pride fundraiser.
