Franklin Graham’s views on marriage cannot be characterised as ‘extremist’, says court
… Blackpool Borough Council and Blackpool Transport Services discriminated against Christians
… removed after a social media campaign by LGBT activists
… the removal of the ads over Graham’s religious views on marriage was a violation
… unjustified interference in the organisers’ freedom of expression
… “had a wholesale disregard” for the event’s right to freedom of expression
… giving preference to the rights and opinions of the LGBT community
… This ruling is a warning to local authorities who don’t like Christians because of their beliefs about marriage
… Blackpool banned them, then lit up the Tower in rainbow colours during the Festival to show their solidarity with LGBT activists and their opposition to Christians
