[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 133 points 2 years ago* (37 children) Why are you donating things you expect to be thrown out? You're just costing a charitable organization money. But fuck the salvation army. permalink fedilink source hideshow 40 child comments replies: [–] theFibonacciEffect@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago (2 children) Why are you mad at the salvation army? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 53 points 2 years ago (1 child) As a religious organisation, they are allowed to hire based on characteristics that you usually aren't allowed to discriminate with. They've repeatedly supported legislation that would allow them to refuse to hire LGBT people. Across several countries, they've campaigned against the right for homosexual sex, marriages, inclusion in media. They refused a $3.5m contract from the San Francisco city gov because it would've included giving the same domestic benefits to same-sex couples. They said they'd leave New York if they were forced to offer the same domestic benefits to same-sex couples. They campaigned against UK local councils including gay people in media like leaflets and the like. High ups in The Salvation Army has said if you support gay rights you shouldn't donate to them. They're extremely transphobic too, of course. They did a bunch of child sexual abuse in Australia. In the UK they own a lot of property that poor people stay in, and the conditions have been so bad that it was unlawful. For the most part it's just that they're homophobic as fuck. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) Didn't they also fund a genocide campaign in Uganda? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] irreticent@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) That was Chik-fil-a. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] brax@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Chic-fil-ation Army. ...THE PLOT THICKENS permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Owljfien@iusearchlinux.fyi 5 points 2 years ago Fellation army you say? permalink fedilink source parent [–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 24 points 2 years ago (1 child) Probably things like homophobia. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] anarchy79@lemmy.world -10 points 2 years ago (1 child) People can simultaneously entertain good and bad positions on things. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 18 points 2 years ago (1 child) They refuse huge sums of money if some of it has to be spent to help gays.
