"Yes ridicule an organiztion because they make a moral stand. Another of their moral stands is that if help is needed, they’ll give it, regardless of orientation. Even you would receive their help, if needed."

Ummmmm, I'd like to suggest you reread what I wrote. Sounds like you've my commentary 180* out of phase, my friend.

The SA (& every one of their people) is the only charity I support and have supported for years.
That the homosexuals would attack the SA based solely on their biblical stance to their perverted behavior(s) is below despicable. The only thing making any sense whatsoever is that this smear would appear in the filthy rag allegedly representing the city of SF.

OT: I've been a bell ringer for the SA.
Stood for hours outside a Target store, in freezing cold; and, while most people contributing did so in/with the proper spirit? There're stories I could tell of the utter contempt worn on faces of some, were to me personally, quite sobering as well.

Apologies, most sincere. Bless you for having ‘manned’ a kettle. Sad to hear of the looks of contempt for one helping an organization that does good.

I do not pass a kettle w/out contributing, and I always thank the person for being there. It is a lot easier to drop a dollar or two than to stand there bell ringing for hours. God bless you all and thank you for working hard to make what we should have been doing all along easier to do.
