I donated some spindles of burned media and programs to Salvation Army expecting they'd throw 'em out. They're selling 'em for $3.

Why are you donating things you expect to be thrown out? You're just costing a charitable organization money. But fuck the salvation army.
Salvation army fed me when I was living on the streets, and they treated me with kindness and respect, that's all I know.
Only if you're straight.
Elaborate
They told me I would need to renounce my homosexuality or else they wouldn't provide me with any services. Fuck the Salvation Army.
"I can't, Jesus is too sexy and I find myself wondering which hole would be the most fun. I'm thinking probably the left hand."
And then Jesus came.
Because of your dirty, dirrrrty sins!
"Come to Daddy"
How did they know you were gay?
The people who took care of me were genuinely of God. I suppose YMMV depending if you live in a sane country or not. We do live in the single most atheist country on the planet though, so I guess it's not globally representative...
We do believe them + who asked.
You must believe every bullshit sob story.
I spent January and February of 2020 in a state park living in a two man summer tent that I had used twenty years prior and stowed away in the attic in the weird case I would ever become homeless. I was very proud of myself when I discovered that, good thinking. It didn't do much against the half meter snow, but I did get to see a beaver. Have you seen a beaver?
Underneath the thin facade of being a charitable organization, they're really a disgusting Protestant sect of Christianity who loath homosexuality and have a fair share of controversies. There's a few listed on Wikipedia if you want a starting point: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Salvation_Army#Controversies
While they have acted shady pertaining to American labor legislation, they operate globally and they do not deny aid to those in need. There isn't a checklist of criteria you have to meet in order for the Salvation Army to help you.
He's just as hateful as he'd like you to beleive they are.
They use money donated to them to hurt gay people. Fuck em.
