(CNN) A planned UK tour by US evangelist Franklin Graham is in question after every venue booked by the preacher canceled planned appearances, following an outcry over his homophobic and Islamophobic comments. Graham -- the son of preacher Billy Graham -- has called Islam "evil," attacked laws increasing rights for transgender people, and told his followers that the legalization of same-sex marriage was orchestrated by SatanNow, every venue booked by Graham as part of a lengthy summer tour of the UK has told him not to come. An arena in Newcastle upon Tyne became the seventh and final venue to cancel his scheduled appearance on Wednesday. Graham, one of the most high-profile speakers in the US, is the president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and an outspoken supporter of US President Donald Trump , whose election he believes was enabled by God. Graham has spoken at multiple rallies held by Trump.
