Icelanders Protest Evangelist Franklin Graham By Reserving Tickets To His Festival With No Intention Of Showing Up

Icelanders are outraged that Franklin Graham is holding a festival in Reykjavík next month, but they’re literally not taking it sitting down.

In a social media-fueled protest against the avowed anti-gay-marriage evangelist, Iceland residents are reserving hundreds of tickets to Graham’s upcoming sermons with the intention of leaving the seats empty.

The protest was reported Thursday on Visir.is, an Icelandic-language news site. The report was confirmed to International Business Times by Eygló Svala Arnarsdóttir, a deputy and features editor for Iceland Review magazine.

1. Glad to hear it! I do not like that man.

2. Good grief, he looks like a stringy old rooster.

I can't imagine he'd find much sympathy in Iceland in any case. We're talking about the country that elected an openly lesbian prime minister, married to her partner since the equal-marriage law came into effect.

3. I like the way they think! Brilliant way to protest.
