Re: I know nothing about this

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks for sharing this because I hadn't seen it before.

I wonder how much of what happened had to do with the time, the locality, the personal beliefs of the person they talked to, and how much had to do with the organization as a whole. There's probably no way to know for certain, which is a shame. Is this an isolated incident or organization-wide practice? If they really are discriminating against LGBTQ people, I think the world should know the details so we can change it or have the organization's favorable status changed/revoked in the countries where they operate.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of it is dependent largely on factors you bring up, like the locality and the individuals. I'm sure not everyone with the Salvation Army would do this to people. But even if it happens at all, I think it's still a problem with the Salvation Army as a whole. They're responsible for setting standards, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are some people in the organization who believe that the Salvation Army's values justify prejudice against LGBT people. If that isn't what the organization as a whole supports, I think they need to work harder to set the record straight--both with the public and within their own organization.

It's also a problem, I think, with religious-based charities becoming the main source of help for people. Many religious charities are wonderful, and I think they're a valuable resource. But there's always a risk of people being denied help, or being forced to do things that conflict with their own beliefs and values in order to get it.
