A petition started by advocacy group Northern Pride that called for ending Graham’s U.K. tour garnered nearly 6,000 signatures as of Friday.

“The controversial speaker has publicly promoted homophobia, claiming that homosexuality is a ‘sin,’ that Satan was the architect of same-sex marriage and LGBT+ rights and that gay people are causing a ‘moral 9/11,'” the petition states.

When Graham was due to visit the U.K. in 2018, a petition calling on the British government to deny him a visa, citing his “hate speech against minorities,” garnered over 8,000 signatures.
