Tolerance equals ideological submission for those who are encouraging a boycott of the Salvation Army for its opposition to redefining marriage and its religious beliefs about homosexuality.

[madprof98]

Just in time for Christmas. (Article at Huffington Post cannot be posted here but is "interesting" to read.)

[stars & stripes forever]

This will be a banner year for the Salvation Army kettles.

[PetroniusMaximus]

Let the fagots keep their money.

[Ben Mugged]

I wonder if they will advocate a boycott of Muslim businesses for the same reason?

[Colonel Kangaroo]

I suspect that "demographic" is not big on charity anyhow except for NAMBLA and the new PC "in your face" agenda organiztions.

Surveys have shown that selfish, hearltess conservatives are the most generous givers.

My KOC Council adopted a Kettle on December 10th. The Double Whammy!

[circlecity]

Good. Now the SA won’t need to put on rubber gloves before counting their money.

[Lazlo in PA]

Yeah, the gays are a real force in raising cash for the Salvation Army. There isn't a gay bar around where the SA doesn't have a bell ringer this time of year the gays are so generous.

[GeronL]

Its never been about tolerance

[Rich21IE]

The “Gay” agenda and its supporters are just, plain, old fashioned............creepy!

[married21]

I rather suspect that the Salvation Army has done a lot over the years for gay people who were down on their luck, just as they would help anyone else. Perhaps all those gay people who have been helped should refund the money expended on them, if they are so offended.

[Neoliberalnot]

Simply boycott any business, pandering to, or owned by homosexuals.

[Hugin]

Somehow I doubt the “some LGBT activists” cited in the article actually represent anything close to the majority of homosexuals regarding the Salvation Army.

[Abathar]

SA has always been our families primary charity for donations going back 4 generations, they are one of the best IMHO.

Let the whiny little faggots revolt. In all honesty it will probably mean more, at least around here and I can’t believe they get much from the gay community anyway.

[B.O. Plenty]

I guarantee that in time of need......

......the SA will abandon no one....even the ones who have boycotted, ridiculed or abandon them.

...everyone and especially "gay groups" should remember this when the tornadoes or floods or landslides or terrorist attacks come.

[who knows what evil?]

The sodomites are getting shrill...all that bad press from Ped State and Suckacuse must be grating on their delicate sensitivities...Salvation Army is reeeeeealllly going to miss your contributions.

[ElkGroveDan]

I have some errands to run today. I now plan on seeking out the guys with the kettles to contribute.

[xsmommy]

I have been giving to them after leaving the grocery store. I will continue to give, and will give even more now that i have read this.

[massgopguy]

I coordinate dozens of charitable functions every year and I have never seen one sponsored by a gay group. Gay groups only sponsor events which either promote sex or are for AIDS related needs. Where are they for the General Public? Nowhere. Those groups only serve their “community”.

[G Larry]

Expecting that demographic to do the right thing is a waste of expectations.

I’m boycotting Hollywood, Democrats, and Muslims....
...does anybody care?
