Hey Bieber, I got your piss-pot right here. -- The Salvation Army is not a charity. It is a church, and as churches go, it is about as far out on the fringe as it can be. Basically, if you want help from the Salvation Army, you must submit to being proselytized to. It’s “charity” only goes as far as it is permitted to indoctrinate those they help. Worse, in 2008, a transwoman named Jennifer Gale died in the cold outside an Austin area Salvation Army shelter, after being denied access because of her gender presentation. This is not a matter of respecting the organization’s opinion; this is a matter of life and death. And it’s not just the GLBTQ community. Several high-profile complaints have charged the Salvation Army with denying shelter to Muslim families who refused to attend Bible classes and denying services to those who cannot “prove” their citizenship status. There have been many legal battles over the last 20 years concerning the Salvation Army and its disregard for the separation of church and state. This is an organization taking government funds while picking and choosing who to help and who is expendable. --excerpted from oudaily/news/2012/dec/04/salvationarmy/
