Perhaps your donation can go towards caring for the children born of sexual assault and unplanned/unwanted pregnancies too.
I'm not denying they do a lot of good around the world and I'll gladly resume making donations once again to the SA if they demonstrate a willingness to review and alter their policies with regards to these issues.

You are trying to put words in my mouth that I did not speak. You have no idea of my opinions. I spoke only of the good works that the Salvation Army does and merely suggested that should you be successful in what is an obvious attempt to undermine those efforts that perhaps porn people such as you, might pick up the slack.
Yes, I do donate to the Salvation Army and although I disagree with certain postions that it maintains, just as I disagree with the positions maintained by most churches, I am not going to help you in any way to damage the Salvation Army and its good works.
It is what it is and if you did not know that the Salvation Army is and always has been a Christian based organization and have only now figured it out, you must have had your head in the sand or up someone's ass for years.
You would apparently have the good works of the Salvation Army come to an end because you disagree with certain of their policies and by doing so, you are willing to put thousands of homeless men, women and children in the street.
Should you be successful in your effort, will you open YOUR house to any of them?
I thought not.

"Housing and Homeless Services
Akron
Group homes, emergency shelters, and transitional living centers provide housing on a temporary basis for varying amounts of time. They:
serve the homeless by providing food and overnight lodging.
provide educational, counseling and vocational services to homeless and destitute individuals and families for extended periods.
address long-term specific issues of youth for whom family care is undesirable or unavailable. Education, counseling, health care and specific training seek to meet the needs of such groups as pregnant teens, emancipated minors, and wards of the juvenile court.
address specific health or societal driven needs of particular populations.
Family service programs help families and needy individuals with emergency food, housing, utility assistance and other temporal needs."

"INDIVIDUAL REHABILITATION
For over 100 years The Salvation Army has been providing assistance to people with a variety of social and spiritual afflictions through its 119 United States based Adult Rehabilitation Centers (ARC). The Adult Rehabilitation Center ministry began in 1881 when William Booth, founder of The Salvation Army, opened shelters for homeless people on the streets of England and this initiative quickly spread to the United States. Persons who have sought our ministry, nurture, and healing have come with issues of substance misuse, legal problems, relational conflicts, homelessness, unemployment, and most importantly, a need for spiritual awakening and restoration."

"Programs That Help
In this new century, The Salvation Army is serving more people in the USA than ever before. We are already seeing large increases in the number of Americans seeking the basic necessities of life - food, shelter, and warmth. Approximately 30 million people received help from The Salvation Army in 2011, but the magnitude of the mission facing The Salvation Army in communities throughout the United States remains great."
