Franklin Graham Sues More [UK] Venues Over Canceled Tour Stops
The Christian Post ^ | 3/1/20 | Anugrah Kumar

Evangelist Franklin Graham has taken legal action against two more venues for canceling his U.K. tour events planned for May due to his biblical views on homosexuality, according to a spokesperson of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

After launching legal proceedings against the Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow, BGEA has now sued the FlyDSA Arena in Sheffield and ICC Wales in the city of Newport, South Wales, Christian Today reported.

The Scottish Event Campus, owners of the Glasgow Hydro, had been given time until Thursday to explain why it canceled Graham’s event slated for May 30 — the first night of his tour — but the spokesperson said the SEC leaders “intend to resist the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association’s request for judicial relief, and have been advised that they will have another seven days to file a substantive answer,” The Herald (of Scotland) reported.

BGEA, which Graham heads, will “continue trying to work toward a resolution that will allow the Graham Tour U.K. to be held at The SSE Hydro as planned,” he added.

All eight venues booked by the BGEA for Graham’s U.K. tour pulled out, allegedly due to pressure from LGBT activist groups.

Graham’s spokesperson said the cancelations had “alarming” implications for free speech and religious freedom.

Yet, they let radical Imams preach jihad in Mosques in London and other cities, despite their views on homosexuality - and the fact that gays were put to death by ISIS.

They oppose the one true God. They have no problem with false gods.

They are ‘pseudo-intellectual contrarians’. They oppose any and all things that are ‘ordinary’, because they think that THEY are extraordinary. To them, Western culture is Cheese Whiz, or Velveeta, whereas those things non-Western and specifically contrary to Western society are exotically amazing. It’s the height of stupidity, wrapped within delusions of grandeur.

No worries, this will only last until the no moral boundaries cultural marxists homosexuals/LGBTQ people attain authoritative leadership and dictatorship over societies.

Then, like the moral inversions and falls of Baylon, Greece, Rome, early Bolshevik Russia, early National Socialist Party Germany, etc... you have something resembling this —

The actual, non-revisionist historical pathology of approximately 70 Million dead.

Free speech and freedom IS NOT GUARANTEED in Britain.

Which is what happens to a country lacking a formal, written constitution protecting the citizenry from its government.
