Franklin Graham gets a deserved taste of his own medicine and it is delightfully bitter

Franklin "Christian businesses shouldn't be forced to service the LGBTQ community"  Graham just got a taste of what it's like to be refused service and he doesn't like it. In fact, he is talking about suing.

 From the awful right-wing Charisma News by way of JoeMyGod:

After facing discrimination in the U.K. because of his biblical beliefs, a spokesman for Franklin Graham tells CBN News that the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) has have decided to fight in court for its religious rights there. 

 "Since the original venues have broken our legal contract with them, we are pursuing appropriate actions based on grounds of religious discrimination and freedom of speech. The gospel always faces opposition, so we will prayerfully and boldly continue to press forward so that the Good News of God's love and forgiveness will be proclaimed in all of the cities we have planned to visit," the BGEA spokesman told CBN News. 

 The statement comes after another city in the U.K. has rejected an appearance by Graham to preach the gospel because of his views on homosexuality. However, this has not deterred the evangelist, who's still looking forward to his eight-city tour of the country.

I just love how Charisma News tries to sugarcoat Graham's bigotry. A more objective publication, The Independent,  had this to say:

US evangelical preacher Franklin Graham, a staunch supporter of Donald Trump, has been dropped by every venue booked for his planned UK tour. The seven venues cancelled following public outcry about Mr Graham’s views on Islam and homosexuality. 

Mr Graham, the son of preacher Billy Graham, had planned to tour the UK from late May until mid-June, with a further event scheduled in London in October.
 In a statement, Mr Graham said that opposition in the UK came from “a small but vocal minority.” The tour website now states: “We are still finalising where the Graham Tour will be held, but we want to be clear that the initiative and all associated training courses will take place on the same dates as originally planned.”

No doubt, some folks will play dumb and ask just what did Graham say about LGBTQs and Islam which could seen as bigoted.   From The Huffington Post:

Graham has condemned queer love as a “sin” and has claimed that Satan is behind the movement for LGBTQ rights. Last year, Graham denounced the faith of former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, a gay, married Episcopalian seeking the Democratic presidential nomination. Graham said that the presidential candidate’s sexual orientation is “something to be repentant of, not something to be flaunted, praised or politicized.”

Graham has suggested that welcoming LGBTQ people into churches or Christian homes is akin to allowing Satan to “devour our homes.” In 2014, he praised Russian President Vladimir Putin’s anti-LGBTQ agenda.  

 The preacher, a staunch ally of President Donald Trump, also has a history of making derogatory comments about Islam, calling it an “evil and wicked religion.” In 2015, he proposed barring Muslims from entering the U.S. ― months before then-candidate Trump did the same. Graham also helped peddle the “birther” conspiracy, which falsely claimed that former President Barack Obama was not born in the U.S.

Graham needs to get over himself. If he believes that businesses shouldn't have to serve potential LGBTQ customers, then he should also be in approval of other businesses choosing who they will serve.  And that include concert venues.
