[B]The son of Billy Graham, Franklin, who is pictured, is moving at least $100 million of funds tied to the Billy Graham Evangelical Assocation out of Wells Fargo over its ad campaign featuring a lesbian couple.[/B]
[quote]The son of conservative evangelist Billy Graham, Franklin Graham, is taking millions of his 96-year-old father’s dollars elsewhere, he announced last week after Wells Fargo launched an ad campaign that features a lesbian couple.
“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,” Graham wrote when he took to Facebook to announce the transfer of assets to the BB&T Corp.
It's not clear how much research Graham did before he chose to move at least $100 million to the Winston-Salem, N.C.-based bank. [B]BB&T was ranked by the Human Rights Campaign as one of the best for workplace equality. One branch among the hundreds scattered across 12 states has repeatedly stood out in support of gay rights.[/B][/quote]

that's ok because you aren't going to stop gay people from marrying by banning 1 commercial
bitch all you want, you're going to lose in the long run :)

My favorite is how the bank he moved too is outspoken for its gay rights activism.
[quote]The bank itself has donated about $10,000 to Miami Beach Gay Pride and has been a high-level sponsor of the annual event for the past three years, the festival’s organizers told the Daily News.[/quote]
This guy can't even get being a bigot right.
Welp, the guy has the right to do with his money what he likes.
That said he deserves all the criticism for being that petty.
What a pissy bitch

Well it's not like I'd expect intelligence from a bigot but most bigots I have to give some credit to for being smarter than this guy
So, this is an add about two lesbians learning sign language to be able to adopt an orphaned (or abandoned) deaf girl.
And the guy manages to be angry at it.
This is some fucking Lex Luthor pie stealing level bullshit
Wait so he's angry about a lesbian couple adopting a deaf orphan in a commercial?
Jesus Tap-dancing Christ how petty can you get?
That was a lovely commercial, not sure what it had to do with the bank though.

Welcome to advertising. It's more about connecting warm fuzzy feelings to the company than about the service or product itself.

so if he moved the funds to a bank that is outspoken in its gay rights advocacy, i would have to assume something else about the commercial bothered him. i think he may be anti-orphan

He probably hates deaf people. And hands. I mean, his photo has no hands, so it's only logical.
