Salvation army gag order about discussing lgbtq

Salvation Army under passion for homophobic practices

As the holiday season arrives, The Salvation Army donation buckets have begun to pop up on street corners and in front of supermarkets all over the country, with volunteers ringing bells and asking for donations. Black Friday brought these bell ringers out in spades, and this time, the organization has a goal of $125,000, which is more than a 50 percent grow of what was raised in 2017. However, many citizens have concerns over who the money is really supporting.

A viral publish by @autodacryphilia on Tumblr has recently sparked debate about the ethics of the Salvation Army and their dealings with members of the LGBTQA+ society. The post claimed, among other things, that the Army has continued to discriminate against LGBTQA+ people by refusing housing to a homeless gay couple unless they separated, referring people to conversion therapy, and upholding a policy of not helping trans person people.

The Salvation Army has denied these claims, saying on their website,“People who come to us for assistance will be served according to their dependency and our capacity to help – regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation

You'd think in 2013, with DOMA having been found unconstitutional, people would step into the show and accept the future. That future being, of course, that, and you're going to desire to sit down for this revelation: gay men and women are people, too! Seriously.

In the wake of Barilla's head honcho, Guido Barilla's homophobic and sexist remarks, a boycott followed, and we were once again forced to realize that some people just oppose to see everyone as equal.

"I would never complete [a commercial] with a homosexual family, not for lack of respect, but because we don't agree with them," the company chairman told Italian radio Wednesday evening. "Ours is a classic family where the woman plays a fundamental role.

However, Barilla isn't the first company to show homophobic sentiments, and sadly, they probably won't be the last either. The United States Department of Labor may have ruled that all businesses in every state must provide benefit coverage for same-sex marriages, but that doesn't mean it's going to put an end to homophobia.

Here are 8 companies that prove this to be true.

During last weekend's celebration of the 20th anniversary of Homosexual Law Reform, the Salvation Army received a hammering from many glbt activists speaking at anniversary events. Their theme was that the Salvation Army had made a fatal error in judgement in choosing to endorse the petition circulated against Statute Reform in 1985-86. A decision from which they may never recoil, a decision that reverberates to this day. Aucklander Keith Hay, of Keith Hay Homes, and Sir Peter Tait, former National and Napier local body politician, launched the petition. At the time, Hay drew the curious analogy between himself and Christ the carpenter. “I'm just a carpenter doing [God's] work,” he loftily claimed. These two Evangelical Christians, founding members of the vehemently anti-Law Reform Coalition of Concerned Citizens, garnered sustain from anti-Reform members of Parliament, a situation not altogether unexpected by queer and lesbian activists. However, just days after the petition was launched, the Salvation Army announced it would administer the petition, and use its extensive network to circulate it far and wide. It was this decision that really irked the pro-reformers, and has left a ba

    Progressive vs. Conservative Salvationism: A Conversation

    In our divided times, conversations between people who disagree are significant. Today’s podcast is a 90-minute conversation with Chick Yuill on human sexuality and the church. At a few times in this conversation, we wondered if “the honorable thing to do” for our denomination is to “part ways.” Nevertheless, even an amicable separation comes through respectful conversations like this. You won’t find a knock-down-drag-out debate here, but truthful dialogue between people who disagree. Here are the links:
