Evangelist Franklin Graham, who urged his Facebook followers to boycott gay-friendly companies, has shifted the money from the organization his famous father founded from one LGBT-friendly bank to one that sponsored a Gay Pride festival fundraiser.

On June 5, Graham urged Christians to pull their business from LGBT-friendly companies like Tiffany’s, which advertises wedding bands for gay couples, and Wells Fargo bank, which has used a same-sex couple in its advertising. “But it has dawned on me that we don’t have to do business with them,” Graham wrote.

Graham said he will move accounts from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association out of Wells Fargo.

Almost all banks are gay friendly. Banks care about having your money, not anything else.
