I know people like to try to dismiss protests and boycotts of the Salvation Army especially when “they do so much good, and besides, lighten up, they are a private private charity with huge influence, you think you not donating will hurt them?”

Actually yes, yes it will, especially if a lot of “us” can take down them. I don’t agree with their bigoted and ignorant policies, they won’t get my money. All that “good” that they do doesn’t negate the transwoman they let freeze to death in the street, or the gay couples they forced to break up and be forced into their beliefs just so they can live another day.

Yeah, they are a private entity, but that doesn’t give them the right to decide who lives and who dies, especially when they have the capability.

Whenever one of the SA bell-ringers asks me for a donation I always answer with something about giving my money to a charity that helps everyone instead. Sometimes they know what I am referring to and they get upset and glare at me. Sometimes they don’t know, and I educate them. More than once they have called someone to come take their place because they didn’t want to participate anymore.

Differences are being made, slowly but surely.
