Evangelist Franklin Graham is suing several venues in the UK that have cancelled his forthcoming gospel events.
According to a Christian Post report, all eight venues in the ministry tour have taken offence at his views on homosexuality, allegedly due to pressure from LGBT activist groups.
The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association responded by launching proceedings against the Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow, the FlyDSA Arena in Sheffield and ICC Wales in the South Wales city of Newport.
All eight venues booked by for the UK tour have cancelled their contract.
A spokesperson for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association said the cancelations had “alarming” implications for free speech and religious freedom.
“BGEA’s position remains that in nearly 70 years of public evangelistic outreach ministry, there is no evidence whatsoever that any BGEA event involving Franklin Graham has ever caused a danger to public safety or incited public disorder,” he said.
