Don’t Fall For the Salvation Army’s PR Spin! They’re Still Super-Antigay (LGBT)

[Behind the Aegis]

It’s that time of year again when you get annoyed by the sight of bell-ringers representing an organization that hates you. Yes, it’s the annual appearance of the Salvation Army, and they’re hoping to trick you into thinking that they’ve turned over a new leaf. Well, they haven’t.

The S.A. has a page on their site right now called “Debunking the Myth of LGBT Discrimination,” which is all about how awesome they are and always have been to gays. “The Salvation Army believes that all people are equal, regardless of sexual orientation or any other factor, including race, gender and ethnicity,” the page says. They point out that they serve, hire, and happily accept money from LGBT people.

4. I can't be bothered; instead, I just put as much distance between

myself and them as possible - I don't even want to acknowledge their existence.

5. I suspect that since it became common knowledge, over the past few years,

that the Salvation Army is homophobic, they've had a significant drop in revenue.


So now it looks like they are pretending to love us in order to get back some of that coin.

6. I'm not surprised

Leopards seldom change their spots. When I see the bell-clanging denizens of the Salvation Assholes, I walk right past.
