Why You Shouldn't Donate to The Salvation Army

 One of the things that you shouldn't do this Christmas season is donate to The Salvation Army. Why? well The Salvation Army is anti gay. That's right, part of the money that is donated in the red kettle campaign,goes to anti gay lobbying. So The Salvation Army's Doing The Most Good slogan is kind of ironic if you ask me. They should have a new slogan that says Doing the Most Evil instead.
  Anyway an Australian Salvation Army official stated in an interview that all gay parents should be put to
death. I find that rather appalling that an Organization would say something like that. First off if you think The Salvation Army is a charity, you are sadly mistaken. The Salvation Army is not a charity at all. As a matter of fact they are a church. Churches and charities are two different things.
  So basically you shouldn't put any money in their red kettles or donate goods to their thrift stores.
Here is legal proof that The Salvation Army is anti gay. "[Homosexual activity is] as rebellion against God's plan for the created order... Homosexual practice, however, is, in the light of Scripture, clearly unacceptable. Such activity is chosen behaviour and is thus a matter of the will. It is therefore able to be directed or restrained in the same way heterosexual urges are controlled. Homosexual practice would render any person ineligible for full membership (soldiership) in the [Salvation] Army." That quote was taken from the Australian branch of The Salvation Army.
  As an American I find it wrong for somebody or organization to discriminate on someone based on if they are LGBT. It's not just right at all. Think of it this way, Jesus had two dads and turned out alright. One of my classmates brought up that point at a Business Club Meeting.
  So please think twice before donating money to The Salvation Army's red kettle campaign, or donating goods to and shopping at their thrift stores.
