It’s that time of year!

That’s Right, it’s DECEMBER. Which means the Salvation Army is gonna be out in force, ringing bells and collecting spare change in shopping malls the world over!

So this is your Annual Reminder that the Salvation Army is Not A Charity! It’s a Church with a Kettle-Shaped Collection Plate!

And What a church it is! While the SA does operate charitable enterprises, they don’t have the same reporting requirements as Charities That Aren’t Churches. So we really have no way of knowing how the money we put in those kettles gets spent! And on top of that, they’ve fought Tooth And Nail for decades to maintain the Legal Right to tell people in need to Go Fuck Themselves if Jesus doesn’t like ‘em!

And who does Jesus not like? That’s Queer People babeeeey! The SA has opposed every law or policy advancing the rights of queer people that they’ve ever heard of! From a 1997 San Francisco law requiring city business partners to provide domestic benefits to employees, to a 1986 New Zealand law that made it Legal To Be Gay, they’ve fought them all!

So this year, don’t give those Homophobic Santas a dime! Instead, join the Skeleton Army! And give to a local Non-Religious Charity to Do The Most Good!

#salvation army #the salvation army #seriously google these fuckers #there's so much i didn't include here because. like. it would be tacky to put a skeleton in a santa hat #at the beginning of a discussion of a trans woman who froze to death after the SA turned her away from their shelters #or the catholic church-style system they built in Australia for protecting child molesters #(and Australia's just the one country where we fuckin checked)
