Boycott The Salvation Army: http://www.facebook.com/BoycottSalvationArmy

I reject the absurd notion that as long as you're charitable in some way, you're free to treat gay people as less than equal. And I'm disgusted that anyone thinks this is justifiable. None of us have any obligation to support an anti-gay organization like the Salvation Army, no matter what services they provide.

  • @catscatscats13xoxo Your anecdotal evidence is much weaker than the facts of what SA's leadership has done. Before off-handedly dismissing the claims Zinnia is making, google "Salvation Army anti gay policies" and read a bit about what the higher ups are doing. The people you personally work with may very well be welcoming to LGBT people, but that doesn't jive with the decisions of the SA's leaders. Look at the wider picture before you tell others (who have done the research) to shut up.

  • I'm disappointed with the SA on this point. They've always stood outside some of the dafter aspects of the religious institutions and concentrated on helping needy people, and I would have assumed they were more sympathetic to gays. This boycott is justified.
