Our campaigns are proof that love wins. Here are some of our greatest victories (so far!).

Anti-LGBT+ hate banned from the UK

When news broke that U.S. hate preacher Franklin Graham had announced a tour in the UK, All Out's Executive Director Matt Beard – who is a citizen of London – was shocked.

Franklin Graham travels around the world, telling tens of thousands of people that Satan runs the LGBT+ movement. His words justify violence and discrimination against LGBT+ people.

Matt immediately started a petition on All Out’s new petition platform calling on the O2 Arena in London to not give him a platform to preach hate. He asked his friends to sign and shared the petition on social media.

The response he received was overwhelming. Thousands of people signed, voicing a loud and resounding 'NO to hate' in London.

Within a few days, our community managed to draw attention to the issue and eventually ALL planned venues in the UK banned Franklin Graham.
