Given this boycott, by people who knowingly use perverted and twisted, sick interpretations of Holy Scripture to justify their perversion, I will galdly give 2 and 3 times as much this year to the Salvation Army whenever and wherever I see them.

Just dropped some money into a Salvation Army kettle today. Now, I wish I’d had more money in my pockets to give.

This is one of the few charities that I really trust. While I was working at a Lowes plumbing department two Salvation Army people came in and I helped them pick out everything they needed for a shower. It was all very utilitarian. They bought two of the basic shower enclosures with the purpose of making a shower that was wide enough that two of them could hold a derelict that couldn't stand on his own and clean him up. I made a $10 donation to the project on the spot.

Yah know what? (To the LBGT bigots) People should be more respectful of the closely-held beliefs of others, don’tcha think?

Can’t Salvation Army just ignore them, and wish them a Merry Christmas?

This makes me glad I dropped some $ in the kettle today!

Hmmm. I’m predicting record contributions to the Salvation Army this year. I know I will be doubling my contribution.

“LGBT activists are urging people to ignore the bell-ringers because the Salvation Army holds Biblical views that the activists claim are bigoted.”

Hmmm...so God is a bigot. Maybe the gay community should take that up with Him.

Perhaps you can drop in a few extra bucks for the LBGT grinches who won’t be giving this year.

Pffft!! Like the LBGT crowd was going to put any money in the Red Kettles anyway.

only 10% of the population are “queer”

They just pulled that figure That figure just fell out of their behinds. It's more like 1%.

Which re-enforces my point that they are willing for forsake the 99% in support of the 1%.

Maybe someone should tell OWS, LOL

Personally speaking, I’d like to thank the homo-activists for bringing this to my attention. It motivates me to make sure to go out of my way to donate to the Salvation Army and to encourage others to do so as well.

Thanks NYer. Those interested can set up virtual Red Kettles on social media websites -- even if you don't collect anything, it sends the right message. The only snarky sectarian thing I've seen on FR about the Salvation Army was from the now-banned [name redacted]. The Salvation Army is a Wesleyan sect. And I just found this, great for the Christmas season:
Thanks john in springfield.
