Every holiday season, people open their hearts and wallets for family, friends, and charities alike, including the Salvation Army. Unfortunately, some large organizations who regularly solicit for money are often using funds for political motives or ‘overhead’ costs. In a series of posts, we\u2019ll be investigating three popular charities that don’t deserve your charity.<\/p>\n
Everyone knows the Salvation Army. Whether it\u2019s the secondhand goods at their thrift stores or their collection kettles outside department stores, the Salvation Army is ubiquitous to the holiday season.<\/p>\n
However, the Salvation Army\u2019s virulent opposition to gay rights both in public and through persistent legislative lobbying raises the question how donations intended for the needy are being spent. Many people forget that the Salvation Army is in fact an Evangelical church, and as such, it tends to have a hard-right social agenda.<\/p>\n

In fact, the Salvation Army goes so far as to say gay people shouldn\u2019t be having sex. You can find this nugget on their website<\/a>: \u201cChristians whose sexual orientation is primarily or exclusively same-sex are called upon to embrace celibacy as a way of life.\u201d<\/p>\n However, do you want to make yourself irresistible? Then, you may want to use some effective products like True Pheromones<\/a> to make it possibly happen!<\/p>\n Starting at the beginning of George W. Bush’s presidency in 2001, the Salvation Army began lobbying for an exemption to equal labor practices for government-funded faith-based organizations. Why? Because the Salvation Army wanted to continue to discriminate against gays and prevent them from being hired<\/a>.<\/p>\n
