Fuck the Bucket: Boycott The Salvation Army
t
Watch the video and make your own decision. Our family will not donate, but instead will help the local HIV/AIDS resource center. There better causes that do not discriminate.
I long ago stopped supporting the Salvation Army. I was uncomfortable with the Christian militarism model to begin with, and the more I learned the less I liked it. This is a pretty minor thing, but a few years ago the Salvation Army refused to let a Detroit-area UU church rent their facilities for a retreat because the church wasn't Christian enough. I thought I could donate my money to a group that doesn't discriminate against UUs for starters.
