geekasaur:titotito:provocatoria:So what kind of women are the Salvation Army really concerned about? Definitely not all of them. Yup definitely learned more about this while interning at a LGBTQ anti-violence program’s crisis hotlinethe salvation army is shit… this is not the first time this has happened.in 2001, the s.a. pleaded with the bush administration to be exempt from laws barring discrimination against homosexuals. in 2010, a transwoman named jennifer gale was found dead outside of a salvation army-run shelter in austin, texas that refused to house her. emt’s deduced that the freezing temperatures outside triggered the heart attack that ultimately lead to her death.in 2012, the salvation army in burlington, vermont fired danielle morantez upon discovering that she was bisexual, as their policy “reserves the right to make employment decisions on the basis of an employee’s conduct or behavior that is incompatible with the salvation army’s principles.”as of 2013, the salvation army still featured links to ministries providing “ex-gay” conversion therapy (e.g. harvest usa and pure life ministries) along with it’s list of resources for dealing with “sexual addictions.” -- source link
