When the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association decided to pull their bank accounts from Wells Fargo Banks it really wasn't any big deal for them. Why? Because the BGEA's move was prompted to do by the banks recent TV commercial which portrayed a lesbian couple adopting a deaf child, and Franklin Graham decided the BGEA should not be part of a bank that endorses that kind of stuff.
The bank made its position clear when asked by
CNBC:
- "For Wells Fargo to be publicly showing equality fits with what they do," Grace said.
Wells Fargo's Williams said there's no plans yet
to include more LGBT community members in future ad campaigns. However,
the company does not regret its decision.
"It definitely is along the lines of our vision of
values and foundationally what we think when it comes to diversity and
inclusion," she said.
In other words, if you are a Christian the bank doesn't mind offending you...in fact they are proud of it.
