She is also: a neat freak, a language-lover, a pacifcist, a wanderer in the land of ocd, a statistician, a gamer, a musician, an asthmatic with many allergies, a science geek, an agnostic, a lover of LEGO, a coffee-lover, an extremely loyal friend, and someone who feels things more deeply than she lets on. |
I volunteered at the Salvation Army center around here a couple years ago, helping families pick out toys. It was really fun and I thought I was doing a good thing until two men came in. They were in poor shape, they wore a lot of layers and their jackets and pants had dirt and dust on them. I think they had been sleeping outside. They were coming in to get food from the kitchen, and one of the staff members took them to another room that wasn’t the kitchen. After a while, they were both escorted out of the building. I learned later that day they were kicked out because the staff speculated they were a gay couple and didn’t want to cater to those kind of people.
I can’t even look at the bellringers without being ashamed of them. They help a lot of people, but I don’t want to contribute to a group that still considers homosexuality to be condemnatory.
This is why I don’t give to the Salvation Army. EVER. And I feel ill when I watch people put money in the kettles of the bell ringers. Do Your Homework Before You Donate!
