Salvation Army News and Headlines: Salvation Army "Using Deceptive Ads" December 10: Recent fundraising letter sent by the Salvation Army had a separate card with the bold headline: "Equality.". It reads "We at The Salvation Army, want you, our cherished donor, to know that we are all about equality in the workplace.

The backroom deal makers were selling out the rights of gay citizens, in exchange for the Salvation Army's support for President Bush's stalled faith-based initiative. However, once the cat was out of the bag, Bush was left holding it as well, the deal went bust. Leaving the Salvation Army out in the cold, facing the wrath of those they were trying to cut a deal to discriminate against, while receiving millions of taxpayers dollars. Now, Sally Anne is learning a lesson on the cost of discriminatory policies.

Please, take a moment to contact the Salvation Army. Voice your feelings on their recent tactic to prevent the USA Western Territory/Division from offering gay, lesbian and unmarried partners of employees equal benefits. Soon after the Western Division announced they would establish a new policy of equality in benefits for all their employees, which would have included gay, lesbian and unmarried straight partners of employees. Anti-gay right evangelical Christian organizations, flooded Sally Anne with bigoted anti-gay rights message of protest. Yielding to the religious rights will, Commissioner's subrogated the rights of their territories-divisions, by quickly establishing a national policy that limits health benefit access to an employee's spouse and dependent children only. This is an outrageous violation of local chapter's right's to create equality in access to health care benefits. Tell them you will not support discrimination in any form. |
