Bigotry in the Charitable Ranks
13 years ago
Well I understood that quite a few organisations were very dodgy in terms with accepting or tolerating Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals and Transvestites, but I was never aware that an otherwise charitable organisation in my own country would have such a degenerative view of towards these individuals.
Just a few days ago a head official from the Salvation Army admitted his outrageous position towards LGBT persons. Not only that, when he was challenged about his view which was also doctrine of the group, he did not falter. This was, cut and dry, that gays should not exist and should die.
I feel a loss of faith in an organisation that actually seeks to help people has such an outdated and frankly terrible dogma. I also certainly hope that this is not a commonly shared view of its members.
Now all I or anyone in my country can do is be wary of this fact and make the choice of supporting the Salvos or not. At this point in time, I don't think that I will be making a donation anytime soon.
I recommend reading the article and listening to the podcast to get the full scope. http://www.truthwinsout.org/blog/2012/06/26448/
Stay progressive everyone.

Transvestite are those who dress up in females clothing for emotion or sexual reasons. They can have no gender diversity what so ever.
Transgender (Gender-dysphoric) are those who behave and consider themselves in a manor from their gender norm (Androgynous, Male, Female, Both, Neither)
Those who are transgender can be transvestites.
Just wanted you to have the terms right. Tis' a little confusing, I know. x.x'
The play it safe is just writing Trans instead. x3
