Last time I checked, everyone is going to die...

So the only news here is that there’s no news?

Do you really not understand the difference?

Jerry was already confused as to why Elliot Gould was the halftime entertainment.

with one of its media directors once going so far as to say it is the group’s belief that gay people deserve death.

Let’s get that quote on it then bitch. Don’t just say that the media director said that. Prove it, give a quote on it.

quote:

---

Several of Goulding’s fans blasted the organization in the post’s comments, with one calling it “extremely homo/transphobic” and accusing it of “letting queer homeless [people] die.”

---

I fricking doubt it.

quote:

---

Indeed, the organization has a considerable history of reported discrimination and political lobbying against the LGBTQ community

---

Lobbying against gay marriage and men going into the ladies’ room =/= letting figs die.

frick these extortionists. Get someone else to perform.

What has the complainer done for queer homeless people?

If two people fall in a lake and I save one of them am I accused of letting the other one die?

Its an old story from 2012.. Others in the salvation army repudiated the remarks

Ryan: According to the Salvation Army, [gay people] deserve death. How do you respond to that, as part of your doctrine?

Craibe: Well, that’s a part of our belief system.

Ryan: So we should die.

Craibe: You know, we have an alignment to the Scriptures, but that’s our belief.

Other SA officials responded : Jeffrey Curnow, the public and corporate relations manager for the Salvation Army,“I appreciate the opportunity to correct the record when it does come up. In fact, the Salvation Army serves countless people across the country every day from any variety of backgrounds, including gays and lesbians. This number probably reaches into the thousands, though it is impossible for us to determine, primarily because we would simply never ask about a person’s sexual identity.

Because The Salvation Army is a church we do have theological positions on a variety of topics. These positions are intended for our church members or those who are interested in our church. Just as you wouldn’t expect everyone you meet to share all your ideas or beliefs, we would never expect everyone we help, our donors, or even our non-church-member employees to necessarily agree with these theological positions.”

Salvation Army spokesman Major Bruce Harmer quickly released a statement distancing the organization from Craibe’s “extremely regrettable” remarks, noting that members do “not believe, and would never endorse, a view that homosexual activity should result in any form of physical punishment.”

Harmer goes on to note: “The Salvation Army believes in the sanctity of all human life and believes it would be inconsistent with Christian teaching to call for anyone to be put to death. We consider every person to be of infinite value, and each life a gift from God to be cherished, nurtured and preserved.
This is all from 2012
