See how the comparison makes sense. I have a gay relative who is involved with the Salvation army and that person keeps it in the closet and prays for forgiveness, not advertises it. I'm so tired of people doing wrong trying to make it seem right. Oh, a tip, if you're gay and need the Sal. Army's help,it's simple, DON"T TELL THEM YOUR GAY, morons!!

They use people in every Adult Rehabilitation site by mentally abusing them on a daily basis. I tell every American DO NOT DONATE TO THE SALVATION ARMY. They get enough money illegally through the government and they call themselves non-profit. LIES, LIES, and more LIES. One day it will be an embarrassing moment when the media has a wonderful frenzy on the actions they do to others. Be careful of MAJOR SCHOCH he is nothing but a fraud for a Christian. He only cares about his cars and possessions and money GREED, GREED, and more GREED. He is based in Syracuse, NY. Arrest him now someone before it is too late.

It is wrong to expect the SA to ignore its Bibically-based beliefs when addressing needs. It is wrong for anyone to expect a religious group to go against its doctrines even in the practice charity.

If Christianity is YOUR enemy then get your handout somewhere else. These people live their faith. It is because of this they will offer hope through belief in Jesus. They will show you how sinful behavior affects lives. Where is the harm in this? They have been instrumental in helping countless people turn around their lives. The Salvation Army does much good and does not deserve criticism for adherence to their doctrines.

The Red Cross, on the matter of blood donors, does not discriminate against gays more than against everyone who's at higher risk of blood-transmitted diseases, or who may have not quite pristine blood. Other blood collects do just the same.

Last time I tried to give blood, I was told that a strictly heterosexual person who had changed partners in the last 6 months or 1 year couldn't give blood. Nor could anybody, regardless of sexual activity, who had gone to the dentist in the past week. Nor could someone who had been recently ill, or who was currently taking medicine. The list goes on an on.

America is full of ass hole idiots with no fricking morals or guts or righteousness so if your flinching at lying about your sexuality your obviously a immigrant.

If asked I would probably answer I am not sure but I really get turned on by pituitary glands ;p.

As these articles always lead to some creepy FBI attempt to frame some pissed off disillusioned illiterate halfwit into hating Jesus and or targeting the entire christian world lets just boil it down to do not support anybody who dose not support everybody.

your government decides what you wear what you watch and what you learn and that's why you cant afford a education or help or medical or anything?

civil rights are civil rights and prejudiced hate filled churches are your governments fault and they get big Republican endorsements to be not much less than Nazi's who openly spread hate for People they do not approve of.

Jesus loves you? that specific Church or specific person or in fact that Gay community may not and may not lift a finger to help your ass.

as for giving blood it seems again more of the FBI creepy freaky tales of un belivable B/S that you hear from the twisted minds at the local bar just yacking to be the Pseudologia fantastica creeps they are and Washington State is full of of these creeps?

I guess some feel its fun to be stupid and full of shit? Republicans ! who the hell needs them.

Ten seconds of research would have revealed that the fastest growing demographic group of people with HIV/AIDS in the world is women of childbearing age who sleep with men. I've yet to hear anybody propose that we ban young, straight women from donating blood.

Ahhhhhh.... does the American Red Cross not discriminate against LGBT people? I vaguely remember a time when gay dudes couldn't donate blood unless they're celibate. When was that? Today?


Please, don't blame the Red Cross for turning away gay blood donors; they are merely abiding by federal law. No matter where you donate blood in the US, you'll run into the exact same prohibition. In 1985, the FDA banned men who have sex with men from donating blood, in an effort to prevent the blood supply from being tainted with HIV/AIDS and hepatitis. The Red Cross opposes the ban, but has no choice but to abide by it.

Unlike the Salvation Army, the Red Cross truly is a worthy charity. Please don't refuse to support them out of a mistaken belief that they are homophobic.
