Evangelist preacher Franklin Graham planned a seven-city UK tour. All seven venues have dropped him.

[spanone]

(CNN)A planned UK tour by US evangelist Franklin Graham is in question after every venue booked by the preacher canceled planned appearances, following an outcry over his homophobic and Islamophobic comments.

Graham -- the son of preacher Billy Graham -- has called Islam "evil," attacked laws increasing rights for transgender people, and told his followers that the legalization of same-sex marriage was orchestrated by Satan.

Now, every venue booked by Graham as part of a lengthy summer tour of the UK has told him not to come.

An arena in Newcastle upon Tyne became the seventh and final venue to cancel his scheduled appearance on Wednesday. The move follows similar decisions by venues in other British cities, including Birmingham, Liverpool and Sheffield.

1. They know a grifter and a charlatan when they see one.

Take your snake oil show somewhere else.

[spanone]

4. Probably puts him next in line for a Medal of Freedom

[lpbk2713]

9. With Oak Leaf Cluster

[cstanleytech]

24. My bet would be on a bone spur cluster actually.

[JHB]

28. Not always. See Brexit referendum.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

2. I'm sure he'll find takers somewhere else for his grifting tour but this does my heart good.

[CaptYossarian]

3. Considering his name, is this Frexit or Grexit?

[mwooldri]

6. Anti LGBTQI+ exit....

That was the message given by a number of the venue's, that they won't host a person who is openly hostile to the LGBTQI+ community.

[CaptYossarian]

13. Good for them.

Tell Franklin that Wuhan needs a new missionary.

[Lonestarblue]

25. And he should take Trump with him so they can "pray" together.

[SCantiGOP]

5. That's why he had time

To text about the sinful Super Bowl halftime show. He said it was designed to get young boys aroused (pretty sure Shakira knew she would affect boys from about 8 to 98) and was “clearly Satanic”.

That’s why Pence wasn’t there with Trump; Mother wouldn’t let him see those nasty ladies on stage.

[CaptYossarian]

16. He would've loved Janet Jackson.

[SWBTATTReg]

7. Too bad that all 50 states here in the US can't drop his venues ... maybe the UK dropping all of...

his venues should tell graham something?

[smirkymonkey]

8. Good.

At least there is some good news coming out of the UK.

[marble falls]

10. I hope he lost all his deposits, too.

[Thomas Hurt]

11. Can't spread the gospel when you have associated yourself with a prick like Trump

What little credibility he had from daddy, Frankie blew by getting Trump Stank all over himself.

[spanone]

12. ...and you can't spread the Gospel when you're full of hate.

[Thomas Hurt]

14. sure you can when the gospel you are promoting is hate.

Haters have their version of the gospel.

[hibbing]

19. Trump stank...I like it n/t

[paleotn]

21. That's just too good...

[Sneederbunk]

15. As his father may have told him, get a clue.

[pandr32]

17. Good

There should be no venue for any of them.

[TNNurse]

18. Just what he deserves.

[gab13by13]

20. Talibangelicals are not welcome.

The Pharisees weren't that popular either.

[Cousin Dupree]

22. This made my day

[Karadeniz]

23. UK takes the high road, we take the low road.

[barbtries]

26. always good to know

that there is still sanity somewhere.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

27. They still can

Tell a sociopath cult leader to bugger off in England.

[rainin]

29. How will he get his tax write-off for his family vacation now?

[klook]

34. Everything's a tax write-off

when you’re doin’ the Lowered’s work.

[Collimator]

30. Was just watching an episode of

The Crown which deals with Billy Graham's "Crusade" in England. I don't know if it is historically accurate that the Queen asked to meet with Graham, but the difference between the reception afforded to the father over the son is fascinating.

[ramen]

31. Ah, some good news!

Finally.. fuck this guy and good on you, UK.

[lark]

32. Hahahahahaha!

Couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

[gibraltar72]

33. As a recovering Evangelical

I find this encouraging.

[Permanut]

35. Easy to explain.

Those seven cities have been possessed by demons. Happened with Jericho, Sodom and Gomorrah, and every city on the planet during the flood. A little casting out of demons, some smiting and rebuking, and he should be fine.

[Enoki33]

36. Bit confused here. Thought Franklin Graham was more of a property

developer/business con man than evangelical donation collector. Maybe the Brits are trying to send a message to their orange menace.
