Rev. Franklin Graham announced last week that he would pull his accounts from Wells Fargo after the bank aired an ad featuring a gay couple, but the evangelist preacher did not have the best of luck finding a new bank that does not “promote homosexuality.”
Graham told Family Research Council’s “Washington Watch” on Monday that he would switch to BB&T, a bank based in North Carolina. However, as Right Wing Watch pointed out, BB&T is a sponsor of the Miami Beach Gay Pride Parade.
The bank hosted a fundraiser for Miami Beach Gay Pride in February to honor “Legacy Couples,” where the bank also held a wedding ceremony for a gay couple at a makeshift chapel in the bank’s South Beach branch.
I know where he can stick it too! In my bank account, those kind of people always have way too much money and way too much bigotry. He’ll never miss the money if it is in my account!
