Have you ever asked yourself–how can we fight the tide of moral decay that is being crammed down our throats by big business, the media, and the gay & lesbian community? Every day it is something else! Tiffany’s started advertising wedding rings for gay couples. Wells Fargo bank is using a same-sex couple in their advertising. And there are more. But it has dawned on me that we don’t have to do business with them. At the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, we are moving our accounts from Wells Fargo to another bank. And guess what—we don’t have to shop at Tiffany & Co., there are plenty of other jewelry stores. This is one way we as Christians can speak out—we have the power of choice. Let’s just stop doing business with those who promote sin and stand against Almighty God’s laws and His standards. Maybe if enough of us do this, it will get their attention. Share this if you agree.”
— Franklin Graham, one of America’s finest Christians, using his Facebook page to rant about a recent Wells Fargo advertisement that uses a same-sex couple to promote learning sign language. We don’t agree, but we’ll share your message to alert the world to the message of ignorance and intolerance you’re preaching.
Watch the video Graham finds so subversive below.

I’m sick of Christianity being crammed down my throat. That crap is everywhere!
Craig Graham
And we’re waiting on you and “your kind” to choke to rid us of the smothering dumbed-down hate from your “ministry.”
Ron Fowler
He should be so lucky!
Mauricio A. Perez
Lol
Alex Rothwell
Oh really. It’s been evangelist like him and christian right conservatives in gov. forcing their ignorant and uneducated christian views, laws and philosophies on the rest of us over the years. Now that LGBT people are getting some ground in Marriage Equality he – they are coming up with this Bull – Sh_t . They are crazy.
Voltaire Erasmus
Funny, they have been cramming their crap down my throat for four decades!
These people have had 2,000 years to bring peace on Earth. They’ve failed. Times up.
Kevin Dyier
He should be so lucky as to have a gay man crammed down his throat. Hell, he might even enjoy it !
russellhm
A beautiful commercial for Wells-Fargo and for equality. The little girl, learning that she now has two mommies, has a small smile that is just heaven. And that’s what love and family are—or should be–about. Franklin Graham is as big a troll as his father. Who was the first president to call upon Billy Graham for spiritual guidance? Richard Milhaus Nixon! Just another crook pandering to Christianity. Lions: brutal Christians: stupid
Chris Duffy
Is this where I can complain about bullshit artists using the life of Christ to get rich….mostly by ignoring the life of Christ?
Stephen Meeks
This is such a beautiful commercial; I cried. It’s sad that people who claim to be Christians can’t see the beauty here. All they see is hate.
Michael Finnegan
Lonny Bradley Alois Regan
Well what a baby
Chris L. Reynolds
Cramming?hmm interesting choice of a verb for him to use!
Major D. Easthagen III
Tell him to turn around then
Luis H. Lopez
Open wide!!
Cesar Fortun
He needs a deep throat!
Darryl Cummings
Poor baby.
Jokie X Wilson
Then he shouldn’t spend so much time in the dungeon. 😉
Thom Bishop
Haven’t we had him and his beliefs crammed down our throats for years? Sorry, not sorry-
Tom Strohecker
What does his secret male escort cram down his throat?
Vincent Turner
I have something to cram down his throat.
Jeff Eiselman
Dont’ take so much dick right away and you won’t gag!
Patrick Samonte
David Harlem
There is nothing of mine I’d want to jam down his throat. Besides, in my estimation evangelists are nothing more than gold diggers. They live like kings pretending to have a direct network connection to God…false prophets and nothing more.
Cam
Yeah, because their boycotts have worked so well this far. Heck Disney ignored their boycott something like 20 years ago for having Gay Days, and I don’t think Disney is hurting because of it.
Bryan Piccolo Ona Cruz
He forgot to take his pill. ð??? ð???
Sweetie Pie
I read the headline and I thought he was into deep-throating
Andrew Stow
Breathe through your nose, Bro.
F. Jay Ver
Great if he would just stop using Google, Apple, and Microsoft products since they are all gay friendly maybe we could stop hearing about this tripe on the internet!
Daniel Ryan Varnado
I bet he’s had plenty crammed down that hole
Michael Martinez
He should use a hand to stop them from getting so deep. If you aren’t versed in deep throat you need to work up to it slowly, you can;t do it all at once.
Gregg Ray
so how do you think Gay folk feels about having Christ crammed down theirs? or other Religions, or None religious peoples? he can suck on it!
Mark Burgett
Maybe he’s complaining that not enough gay men are crammed down his throat?
Kevin Hurst
I’ve been having to hear his big fat mouth all these years. I hope his kids are gay
Jim Guinnessey
Why bother calling bigot Franklin Graham an evangelist? He isn’t. His hateful messages have nothing to do with the Gospels of Jesus Christ! He is just as bad as Tony Perkins and Bryan Fischer.
Robert Zakem
I doubt many in his flock shop at Tiffany, and as for Wells Fargo, they’re too evolved to fall back into the dark ages.
aliengod
Start slow at first, Franklin. After a little practice I’m sure you’ll be able to take it balls deep.
Ian Guinta
well I’m sick of straight culture thats been crammed down my throat since birth.
Tony Lee Churchill
That’ neither the only thing he’s had crammed nor the only place. Gurl, puhleeze.
Daniel Alvarado
hes mad he doesnt get to enjoy a dick like some of us
Anthony Angelino
He probably had one down his throat
Alan Arthur Anglin
Hmm don’t think Gay people are being crammed down his throat so much as, he’s trying to cram down our throats his brand of bigotry. He might want to stop using Google, Microsoft, Apple, and quite a few other companies and see how well he can spread his hate.
Roy Langridge
Stop trying to take it all the way down
Michael Perry
Bitch, please!
Ronald Wei
And he means this both literally and figuratively.
Stephanie Renee Whinthrop
I am sure he would rather something ELSE was crammed down his throat instead…..
Jason Michael Martin
Awww I guess he prefers a big ol dick instead? cuz with a mouth like that you got practice
Barb Kipper
Poor choice of words, but since he is another DUD, praying on people, what would you expect?
Rick Sanchez
Stop sucking d*ck in public bathrooms and then gay dudes won’t be crammed down your throat. Problem solved.
J.r. Graff
Yeah, well, maybe I’m sick of all of the hypocrisy of him and his sheeple.
John Wadsworth
God is just sitting in heaven wondering what he is going to do with people like Graham.
Will Glitzern
It’s a beautiful commercial. It seems really stupid that conservatives are so threatened by us, when we represent a small segment of the population.
Billy J Griffin Jr.
He can lick where I poottttt.
kevininbuffalo
@Vincent Turner: I have nothing to cram down HIS throat!
Ken Smith
Satin is the Mastermind of. Hate, Inequality, and publically making such a Statements as Graham has..brought….Religious Battle.when none was warrented…
Alex Paris
maybe he should stop sucking dick.
DuMaurier
Aside from anything else, anti-gays have really got to come up with a new metaphor to replace that throat-cramming one, as the comments here demonstrate.
Jeffrey York
He is less of a loving Christian than his father. Billy wasn’t great, but he wasn’t this hateful.
BitterOldQueen
Now wait a minute–I thought it was BAD to boycott businesses because you disagree with them on marriage equality; isn’t that why xtians sent all that money to cake makers? But it’s OK to boycott Wells Fargo and Tiffany because of their ads…I’m so confused.
polarisfashion
I noticed he said he would be moving his accounts from Wells Fargo to another bank. How much of that money did he get by begging for it from his followers. Doesn’t any of his sheeple care that he lives like a king and its all because they keep giving him money? I thought this was their seed money for God or some other stupid shit like that?
John Francis Grice
And what about the straight agenda being crammed down every LGBT throat for like, how many years ????
Ives Meagher
….and I am sure he probably liked it?
Jake Kunkel
Maybe stop giving so many blowjobs with all your Christian love n fellowship malarkey….and just accept the gays as Jesus would have….you know some of his best friends were gay n prostitutes n thieves n malcontents….you say you are a man of God act and speak like him…maybe your throat won’t be so full of hate…..
Chuck Davis
Versus he and his faux bible crap shoved down our throat
Hey bubba – you weren’t born a snake oil salesman – you chose that; I’m gay, i spent 45 years trying to be anything but that because i was told i had to by cretans like you and “society” – and you have no effing clue of which you speak that i “chose” this willingly … Its inate in my being, not a wish-away or discipline-away or anything else of that cruel twisted mantra
If its so easy to choose – then be gay by choice for six months …. Choose it blowhard
Thomas Riccobuono
Maybe he’s trying to say he’s a top and he’s just tired of giving blowjobs.
passingthru
Wells Fargo has been supporting the gay community at least a couple of decades. I guess that he hasn’t been paying attention. By making a big deal about this amazing commercial, he’s just trying to squeeze money out of people. He has to pay for the mansions, limos and Learjets somehow.
Jim Platt
All that is being “crammed down your throat,” is the regurgitated christian garbage you and you dad have crammed down ours…sort tit-for-tat, I’d say
Jay Saltz
Does that make him GAY? We don’t want him.
Jason Ketchem
Kangol
Ms. Franklin Graham makes me gag!
Alvin the Hip Monk
Churches on every street corner….
Pastards on every channel of the radio….
Crucifixes dangle from every neck or bumpersticker…..
Stopped outside of supermarkets for donations from church organizations…..
Who is cramming what down who’s throat again?
When’s the last time 2 gay men came ringing up your doorbell to “share the good news?”
It’s time to call out these liars and charlatans. Frankie boy is a liar and a charlatan. A false prophet/teacher.
Korree Johnson
and what about straight people crammed down our throats?
Daniel-Reader
He’s going to give back all the church money he’s lined his pockets with, right? Working on the Sabbath is forbidden in the bible under penalty of death. No exceptions. It is intended to stop merchants from turning religion into a paycheck. Jesus hated merchants who invaded the church. It’s the one time Jesus gets violent is to get rid of merchants invading the church. Jesus never lined his pockets with church money.
Krystoffer A Viau
Complain much? FFS, that’s all you ever do, is complain! There’s oodles of video’s in YouTube of you and your bitchy rants. From Obama to Iraq to ISIS and even this one. My word, your Dad may have been an asshole and it’s obvious, he’s passed that torch to you. Now, while were’re on the topic of “shoving” things down our throats… need I remind you, your warped flock of thumpers, have been cramming religion down everyone’s throats for way to friggin’ long! Have we raised a stink? Oh hell no. We’ve let it slide. Have we gone door to door, handing out Godly leaflets or pestered people? Nope. THAT is the Christian’s agenda, not LGBT. IF businesses like JC Penny or Wells Fargo even Cheerio’s want to use LGBT’s in any of their ads, it’s their right and not for you to fucking criticize. Stay closed minded. This is what your dearly departed Father was, so why not you, eh? Keep brain washing your flock, for when their judgement day comes, do you not think, GOD will not judge them, like he with you? The moral decay is what you are doing to the Christian faith.
Kenton Monjon
Why is it most homophobes use religion to camouflage their real nature?
Giancarlo85
I’m sure these homophobes are secretly cramming things down their throat. Nobody cares about the bible. Nobody is forcing this bigot to watch. Evangelists are the worst kinds of hypocrites though… with their megachurches that funnel money for tax evasion reasons.
jimontp
I’m sorry, he is NOT one of America’s finest Christians. On the contrary. He is one of most hypocritical evangelical scammers, living off the poor, undereducated, prejudiced and uniformed idiots who fund his lavish, hateful “miinstery,” something exactly that Jesus railed against. Nothing about love thy neighbor, cast not the first stone….just nasty hate spewing out of his mouth like that poor sad soul in the Exorcist.
Barry Shatswell
Maybe he should quit hanging out at the rough leather bars.
Lance Streeter Edwards
WHY MUST THESE PEOPLE FLAUNT THEIR LIFESTYLE CHOICE?
My father bought a television in 1949; it was the first in our neighbourhood. At the time I was four-years-old, so it is fair to say that television and I grew-up together.
In all of my 65 years as a viewer, one thing I have noticed is that all of the television shows (not to mention radio, newspapers, movies, magazines, all advertisements and commercials, etc.) have always been overrun by openly heterosexual men and openly heterosexual women, doing their openly heterosexual thing (i.e., being openly heterosexual)â??blatantly flaunting their â??lifestyle choiceâ? and relentlessly shoving their heterosexuality down our throats!
Everywhere we turn we are constantly bombarded by stories and images of openly heterosexual men and openly heterosexual women, and it has always been that way.
Donâ??t misunderstand me. There is nothing wrong with being openly heterosexual â?¦ if that is the â??lifestyleâ? that one â??choosesâ? â?¦ but why do openly heterosexual men and openly heterosexual women have to flaunt it all of the time? Theyâ??re openly straight! We get it! But why canâ??t they keep it to themselves, rather than constantly rubbing their heterosexuality in our faces?
HETEROSEXUALS HAVE BEEN FLAUNTING THEIR
â??LIFESTYLE CHOICEâ? â?¦ 24/7/365 TIMES 5000 YEARS
James Eugene Albert
That’s what they said about black people. as if they dont have a right to exist in their sight.
Mark Siegel
I’m tired of having Jesus crammed down my throat….oh wait I’m GAY…..let me rethink this…
Chris
The ad was — excuse the term — heart warming and beautifully presented. What he’s objecting to is the normalcy of it; and whether he likes it or not, this IS normal.
Mark Alan McRoberts
Franklin is the head of HATE
Lou Irwin Jr.
Mr. Graham, If you are such a moral evangelist, then why are you not preaching Jesus word correctly? When were you given the right by God to judge anyone? You may have you opinion of people, just like I have an opinion about you. But, you can not preach that opinion as though it was the word of God, or the word of Jesus, just because you say so. Get off your high moral ass and try to really live the life that Jesus taught.
Ron King
Money hungry fraud.
Gregory McDaniel
How long til we find out what else Gay men have cramed down his throat.
Dennis Crowley
Really?
Barry Stradtner
If he has a gay guy crammed down his throat then maybe he should stop sucking….
Michael Martinez
You”d think his “Christian” Daddy would have taught him how to deep throat so they wouldn’t have to cram it in.
Chuck Duncan
Ummm, the rest of us are tired of these fake Christians cramming themselves down our throats.
Kevin J Desmond
Bitch please … he’s had a number of things crammed down his throat as well as up his tunnle of love 8====>~~~
Dakotahgeo
And what is this christian hypocrite going to do when his favorite business ends up doing same-sex adverts and products. You can’t duck the businesses forever, Spanky Franky! Sooner or later, the entire business world is going to go “GLBT” on you, and you don’t have THAT many followers to make a dent! Your time is limited, Frank… spend it wisely!
Robert Hillyer
Must be someone with a BIG agenda.
Tony Macharg
The bitch just needs to just needs keep stay down and keep suck I’m not finished yet lol jk
Bill Hohn
He’s a regular hairball in his own right
Cory M. Warren
weird, cause the bible complains about charletan false prophets who rape people.

With a comment like that, it sounds like he wants it… “Down his throat”… 😉 … Hypocrite! … trying to live off his father’s reputation! !!
jwtraveler
Do you guys realize you’re ALL making the same not-so-subtle reference to things being crammed down your throat?
The lack of originality here is tragic.
gaym50ish
What a shame, Franklin. All that tax-free money that was handed to you by little old ladies from their Social Security checks, and now you have no bank to put it in.
Don’t worry, Wells Fargo. The boycott will work about as well as the Baptist boycott of Disney theme parks because they sponsor “gay days” — or McDonald’s because they joined the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce — or T-Mobile after the company gave $25,000 to support gay-marriage in Washington state — or Ford because it advertised in gay publications — or Kraft because it supported the Gay Games in Chicago — or Home Depot, which basically told them to get lost — or the “Dump Starbucks” campaign that fizzled even after they ran ads in some of the most anti-gay countries on the planet — or the “One Million Moms” who topped out at about 40,000 when they declared a boycott of JC Penney and spokeswoman Ellen DeGeneres, whose show reaches 3 million people a day. All those companies seem to be doing pretty well.
Franklin, people don’t care about those anti-gay boycotts. Haven’t you learned that by now? You still think there are lots of people who agree with your father, who said all gays should be castrated?
gaym50ish
I’ve had a few Christians rammed down my throat. It was groovy.
Alan David Smith
probably because businesses are businesses . they are working to get your money. it’s commerce. pull the stick out of your ass

i had something crammed down my throat last night and i liked it, so i sent franklin a tweet telling him that. maybe we should all do the same? 🙂
Realitycheck
Oprah Winfrey was right the old generations need to die, she said that when
speaking about racism and discrimination on an interview with UK TV.
The same applies to hard core christians and their obsessive believe in setting
life style and morals for the entire world.
In my experience people do as they like, not as they are told by religious
zealots, so as Oprah said, they need to die and make space for the younger
more open minded generations.
And it is truly amazing to see how religion is loosing its role as an important institution of our society.
Atomicrob
Ignorant comment from someone who uses religion to make himself lots of money.
blondeboyz
It is UTTERLY AMAZING how many children of these big time televangelists and mega churches get into the “family” business! Graham, Falwell, Robertson. I believe it has more to do with power and tons of money rather than an imaginary sky fairy waving his magic hand over them to “carry on” the ministry. Every damn one of them are millionaires and their flock of sheeple just keep giving their hard earned money. Idiots.
Josh447
The last time someone crammed something down my throat was when I opened my mouth.
If you don’t want people cramming stuff down your throat, then, shut your mouth.
1EqualityUSA
It’s dangerous to tie religion so closely with politics. It’s bad for both. Oppression is not healthy, nor does it yield spiritual fruit.
Jon Carsello
Franklin Graham is a really creepy Christian fascist. In the past I had some dealings with him. He is not a nice or caring person.
Transiteer
Christianity is a man-made religion … not one handed down by a make-believe god. And I’m sick and tired of Christians (or any religion) cramming their Fairy Stories down my throat and making threats. All the Abrahamic religions are based on ignorance and hate. F**k off.
