Rachel Maddow reports that televangelist Franklin Graham’s Christian sensibilities were so offended by a beautiful ad run by Wells Fargo which featured a lesbian couple adopting a deaf girl, that he threw an ultimately hilarious anti-gay fit and moved his money to the exceedingly gay-friendly Miami based BB&T bank.
The Wells Fargo ad would seemingly melt the darkest heart – but Billy Graham’s son stormed on Facebook; “How can we fight the tide of moral decay that is being crammed down our throats by big business, the media and the gay and lesbian community?” Graham continued. “Wells Fargo bank is using a same-sex couple in their advertising…We are moving our accounts from Wells Fargo to another bank.” That will teach ’em Franklin!
The ‘other bank’ is BB&T, is a Platinum Sponsor of the Miami Beach Gay Pride Parade! They are also chief sponsor of the ‘Legacy couples’ program for gay couples married 10 years or more. BB&T is so open minded that they even built a chapel in their South Beach branch so a gay couple could get married there. It doesn’t get more gay than BB&T and Miami.
Congrats Franklin! Maybe God is trying to tell you something via instant Karma?
