UK: Thousands Sign Petition To Refuse Entry for Rev. Franklin Graham

Elevate Christian Network :: News and Events

United Kingdom: More than 6,100 people have signed onto a Change.org petition calling for Franklin Graham, the son of legendary evangelist Billy Graham, to be “banned” from entering the U.K. over his beliefs on LGBT issues and Islam, and fear he will do nothing but “promote prejudice and hatred.”

Rev. Franklin Graham Scheduled to Speak at Lancashire Festival of Hope

The movement to refuse Graham a visa has picked up some steam as British news outlets are reporting that a number of parliament members, one high-ranking government official and even some Blackpool clergy favor refusing the 65-year-old Graham a visa to enter the country so that he can’t speak at the Lancashire Festival of Hope in September 2018.

Gordon Marsden, a member of Parliament who represents Blackpool, has called on the home secretary to refuse Graham entry into the U.K. and argued that Graham might have violated the country’s rules on hate speech, The Guardian reports.
