That little red bucket and the dingling bell that comes out at malls and grocery stores are reminders that we should help those in need as we traipse from one Victorias Secret to the next in search of the perfect holiday gifts for our loved ones.
But that bucket and bell hate the gays.
Here's the Salvation Army stance, bra-shoppers:
“Scripture forbids sexual intimacy between members of the same sex. The Salvation Army believes, therefore, that Christians whose sexual orientation is primarily or exclusively same-sex are called upon to embrace celibacy as a way of life. There is no scriptural support for same-sex unions as equal to, or as an alternative to, heterosexual marriage."
Watermark newspaper's Jamie Hyman makes a case (and a flyer) for protesting the Salvation Army's stance on homosexuality:
