The Salvation Army felt it should not sacrifice its service to the thousands of persons who receive assistance through this funding source in exchange for denying access to benefits to the very few employees who choose to exercise this option.

  Excuse me, but what happened to spreading the Gospel via helping the poor? You've got your priorities out of whack: you're trampling the Gospel to continue to feed the poor. I think you've perverted the intentions of William Booth, whom I'm sure would disapprove of this landmark compromise.

  If the tax money was so important for you to feed the poor in San Francisco, then you should've split town and let the citizens of Gomorrah find a way to take care of their own.

  BTW, thank you for making the other members of the Salvation Army who are still resisting the homosexual agenda look like radicals who won't do what those in San Francisco did.

Its not just San Francisco, its the 13 Western States. Soon pressure will be applied to the Eastern and Mid West Divisions, hence all of the SA. Just like the United way, it was left up to the districts, then they all fell in line.

Since the bell ringers are mostly, if not all, Christian volunteers I wonder if those volunteers will continue to ring the bells? I know I won't and further, I will no longer make any donations to them.
