Oh they’re going to need salvation.
Not just making it illegal, but making being gay punishable with death.
This is one of the many reasons why I walk by every single red bucket in the run-up to Christmas. They’re not getting my money, I don’t care how nice the people ringing bells are.
Ever since the time they threatened to close all their soup kitchens in NYC if a law that did something as simple as allow companies to extend spousal benefits to their employee’s same-sex domestic partners I have refused to buy from them or donate to them.
It’s that time of year again! In case people don’t know… the Salvation Army is shitty peoples.
Also, the married women are not paid (and therefore can’t qualify for assistance if they should ever divorce, etc). And worth “of course” less than a man.
“ In the Army’s case, the agreement for compensation is that the officer allowance be paid jointly to the husband—the check is written in his name. Officially, the wife is a “worker without expectation of remuneration,” and her husband receives 40 percent more of an allowance as a married man than he would as a single man. “

hey since that season is coming up again!
(&:) Be sure and wish every bell-ringer in your neighborhood a Merry Kiss My Ass this holiday season~! :D
Be nice to the bell ringers, they most likely have no idea about this. If you really want to do something to the bell ringers, try talking to them about this and ask them if they know.
And shop at Target because they don’t allow the Salvation Army there.
But seriously, be nice to the bell ringers. I know for a fact that most of them are not aware of this stuff. This is more of an upper level thing. And this definitely isn’t the only shady shit that Salvo is doing. There’s a lot of odd circumstances surrounding donations made to them after someone leaves a bunch of stuff to them in their will and what actually gets reported as acquired. Like, what major is going to report that a lock box full of money was found after an estate was willed to the Salvation Army when they’re doing the initial audit of the property? Pssssh, don’t people know that some majors, specifically, have kitchens to remodel and pools to install? Wish I was just being cynical.
