> without any type of discrimination
The Salvation Army is a church, and is regulated as a church. They can inquire about your religious or personal beliefs when hiring or before providing services.
They threatened to close in NYC if they had to support gay partner's benefits in the city.
There's a laundry list of discriminatory behavior from the Salvation Army, it's patently absurd to say they operate "without any form of discrimination".
- javagram 7y ago> They threatened to close in NYC if they had to support gay partner's benefits in the city. FYI, while true as a historical matter (this was done in 2010 according to a google search), I believe this is outdated. https://www.wsj.com/articles/progressives-ambush-the-salvation-army-11574294011 https://www.wsj.com/articles/progressives-ambush-the-salvati... notes in 2019: ‘Yet the organization says it doesn’t consider sexual orientation in hiring and now provides “the same benefits to opposite-sex and same-sex couples.”’ They are a church as you note and I’m not sure what their doctrine for their followers is. On the other hand, isn’t it anti-religious bias to attack someone for donating to a church? In US law, religion is protected on the same level as any other protected characteristic (sex, race, etc.) due to the long history of discrimination against minority religions for their political or moral views. In general attacking CFA for donating to a mainstream christian church seems only a step away from demanding that followers of Christianity who attend or donate to their churches must be fired from their jobs or otherwise discriminated against...
- anakaine 7y agoYou mean we shouldn't discriminate whilst complaining about an organisation who discriminates? Sheesh.
