No it was bait, the individual knew the answer they were going to get and asked it just because they were looking for a reason to cry "bigotry".

Salvation Army has never been publicly anti-gay, their personal beliefs are irrelevant to the work they do. I don't care if my auto mechanic is secretly a communist as long as he does a good job on my car.

Whatever. You're just pissed your kind got questioned and called out.

That's not true. Their beliefs are on their god(*)(*)(*)(*) website.

I disagree, but I never said he did.

Show me where on the Salvation Army website they've made it public that they hate gays or want gays killed. Their personal beliefs about gays are totally irrelevent to their charity.

Neither statement exists. That doesn't make the statements they have made not anti-gay.

Show me one public statement they've made that's anti-gay - something a guy said in response to a caller on the radio doesn't count.

I detect chirping. From what insect I do not know.

I don't consider homosexuality disgusting. I'm shocked you would say that. On the other hand, there are those who publicly support pedophiles and post-natal abortions. There are a lot of strange people out there.

When challenged on parts of the Salvation Army’s ‘Salvationist Handbook of Doctrine’ which cite Romans 1:18-32, a passage which declares homosexuals deserving of death, Craibe refused to distance himself from them as he said they were what his religion believed. ‘That’s a part of our belief system,’ Craibe said.

... and that's from their 'media relations director' .... wow.

Their U.S. counterparts have gotten more than a few cents from me, plus monthly donations of goods. As charities go, I had thought them one of the better ones. Very sad to hear this of them.
