Gays Condemn Salvation Army
Catholic League ^ | December 10, 2012 | Bill Donohue

Posted on 12/10/2012 1:58:20 PM PST by NKP_Vet

The Salvation Army is under increasing attack from homosexual activists this Christmas season. The Christian organization is under fire for merely holding Christian beliefs on marriage and the family—it does not discriminate against anyone—and now the war has extended to a formal resolution by the Associated Students of the University of California at Berkeley calling for a ban of Salvation Army donation boxes on campus; university officials are considering the request.

An organized effort to boycott the Salvation Army is also under way. A gay website, watermarkonline.com, is asking its readers nationwide not to give to the charitable organization. Gays in Chicago have launched their own campaign to withhold donations. The net result is that more of the needy will go without this Christmas season, thanks to the efforts of these homosexuals.

Not only does the Salvation Army not discriminate in hiring, and in whom they serve, it does not lobby for any cause. Indeed, its only agenda is serving the dispossessed. Yet to those driven by a lust for power in the homosexual community, it makes sense to sacrifice the poor for the purpose of advancing their agenda.

It is too kind to say this is another example of political correctness: It is nothing less than an attempt to punish thought. This, of course, is one of the ugliest traits of the totalitarian mindset. That its intellectual home is the University of California, Berkeley, should surprise no one.

Please give to the Salvation Army this Christmas. Let them know we support their charitable goals, as well as their courage in standing up to bullies.

I do not give to charities in the Obamanation.

Yeah, but the Salvation Army doesn't worship Satan. That makes them a right wing charity.

I find it interesting that the famous liberal “tolerance” is really just a one way street.

Unfortunately, the homosexuals are doing pretty well in their war against the BSA.
Goes to show what happens you let perversion out of the closet. We should have known better.

Love the Salvation Army! Luckily, they are all over our Sandy-stricken town. I love to put my spare one dollar bills in the little red kettle.

Time to file a class action suit against the Gay Lobby for Sexual Harassment.

They are forcing others to participate in their sexual practices and their exhibitionism.

Luckily, the BSA hasn’t bent over like the GSA and take it from the queers. They may have a little less money, but they still have their principles and morals. They may try to war against the SA, but I don’t think they will win.

Target’s Salvation Army ban had nothing to do with pressure from gays. It was done at the recommendation of their legal counsel to keep the company union-free. (If you allow the SA to solicit on your property a union could go to court and demand the same access. Non-solicitation policies have to be blanket and non-discriminatory.)

My father didn’t trust most charities. He thought they were all scams. But he always had high praise for the Salvation Army. During World War II, both the SA and the Red Cross provided cigarettes, toiletries and the like for the troops. However, Dad liked the SA because, unlike the Red Cross, the SA didn’t charge the soldiers for all those supplies. But there was another thing about the SA that Dad didn’t talk about much. Dad, like most soldiers, were young men far from home, missing loved ones and probably scared. The SA provided counsel and comfort for the lonely and anxious servicemen.

My father has gone to his reward, but to honor his memory, I still give to the SA. A good charity. Good people.

And as far as I know, when the SA provides assistance, it doesn’t ask what your sexual orientation is.

Encountering these perverse individuals on Twitter is really eye-opening. This one fanatical dolt claimed that 25 percent of the population is gay. When I asked her for a study proving that number, she replied that she doesn’t need a study, so knows that 25 percent of the population is gay based on her life experiences.

I’ll make sure to give more money to Salvation Army now that they are in the crosshairs of these demented individuals.

The Salvation Army began in 1865 when William Booth, a London minister, gave up the comfort of his pulpit and decided to take his message into the streets where it would reach the poor, the homeless, the hungry and the destitute.

William Booth sought only to serve others. The INTOLERANT GAYstapo seeks only to condemn others.

Same here! Dad said the Red Cross even charged them for a simple cup of coffee. He had no use for them.

After Hurricane Agnes, water was up to our roof. We lost everything. The Red Cross came in and offered us all we needed - at top dollar. They said they'd set us up with an account. My parents just lost everything, and even the place my dad worked was under water!
The Salvation Army came in, and gave us everything we needed for free - even toys and new underwear for us kids. They supplied us with furniture, bedding and anything else we needed to get by.
From that point on, my family has always supported the Salvation Army. Without them, who knows what would have happened to us. Mom and dad had 6 kids to feed and care for, too!

Sorry kids. The homosexuals have the SCHOOLS and have had them for some time.

It is "improper/hateful/inappropriate" to speak out against the homosexual indoctrination procedures inflicted on your own children by (single, naturally, but surely well-intentioned forty-somethings) and speaking out will get you and your children alienated, sued, and indeed imprisoned for doubleplusbad hatespeech.

Just teach everyone to put the condom on the cucumber - a technique all third-graders in Montgomery County know well - and STFU about your parental grievances. Your religious proclivities and personal opinions are hateful, after all!

You lead me to google your remark. I can never get over the beauty of the bible. I wish I could memorize its beautiful phrases.

We donated a car to them this year (although that had nothing to do with THIS controversy). They don’t get involved in politics and keep costs low by relying on volunteers or modestly-salaried members.
