You! Get into the closet! Quick!

The Salvation Army is not a charity organization, it's a church. For years I thought it was just a charity, like the Good Will Store that helped the homeless. So I had no problem donating spare change. It turns out it files as a Church and discriminates based on that, so I no longer give. If it was a religious organization I still might be okay with giving them some spare coins, but the discrimination itself is what stops me. They refuse to hire any gay or lesbians for their charity work, they also have some other practices, like not giving to immigrants and you must attend their church service or no food for you. (I was always under the impression that charity was give for the sake of giving without asking for something in return, and forcing them to a church service is asking for something in return)

They recently teamed up with Sephora, and people who wanted to express their disappointment at having Sephora team up with a discriminatory organization, well their comments were deleted by Sephora on facebook.

Woah, i never knew. They have ad's in this country that paint them very will with no reference to their faith at all.
