All the gratz to you :)

I've known about this for some time. Ellamin nailed it on the head here.

I completely understand. I'm sorry you had to go through that. Maybe it was for the better, maybe being there would have worked well. At least I have my dreams. Hopefully you have yours.

Priority One podcast just had a great episode discussing the armada system with lead designer Al "Captain Gecko" Rivera. They mentioned everything EXCEPT if the armada system would or wouldn't be faction specific. Part Two broadcast this Thursday!

How are we going to tier our fleets? Alpha Stonewall, Beta KDF & Beta ROM, Alpha Stonewall, Beta Fed aligned Rom/ Alpha KDF, Beta KDF aligned Rom, Alpha Stonewall, Beta KDF, Gamma Rom? B)

All due respect...you have confused the ^(*& out of me just now. What?!?!?

Does the good out weigh the bad?

I have never donated to the Salvation Army because I choose not to. It has nothing to do with the politic. My donations are seldom monetary but rather clothing and useful items that people need. Money seldom makes it to where it needs to go. Running a charity costs a considerable amount of cash. But Clothes, Towels, Blankets, things like that actually go a lot farther.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Countdown to Saturday Start Time

Lovin the countdown clock!!!

As it is late this will be a short and sweet reply Dave.

Ultimately the decision to donate, or not to donate rests in you and how it makes you feel. If you believe that the organisation effectively delivers what you expect of it in your area then I see no issue with you donating to one, irrespective of their 'antigay' views that seem to be cropping up of late.

Equally, how accurate they are is yet to be determined... you could potentially drag up similar situations for a cross section of other charities and organisations. The press, as I am sure you are aware, are very good at picking up and focusing on a negative image and running with it and capitalising at every opportunity.

In a different area the Salvation Army may well be a lot more homophobic and it may give you pause for thought, but in recap, if the area you live in they do what you feel is adequate, donate away :)

LOL right medgirl1025!! One of the reasons I got out in 2005 is because I was tired of DADTDPDH. All that rank and retirement time poof lol

I shall be there, i'm very much looking forward to it and finding out more about the jobs on offer :)

I'm personally very conflicted about this. I've felt a lot of pressure from my online friends circle to not donate to this organization, typically through re-shares of these exposé articles around the Christmas season. Definitely, the anti-gay stories that have surfaced on the net, along with allegations that some of their money is going to fund anti-gay politics has me very concerned.

On the other hand, my career has me dealing with victims of crime, sexually and physically abused people and those who are most in need in our communities, on a near daily basis. It's been my experience that in practice, the Salvation Army has always come through for these people time and time again, at their worst moments. I can't really go into specific detail, but some of the ways in which I know that they help people, goes above and beyond the services that many other organizations - government or otherwise- are willing or able to provide people. Anecdotally, I know that LGBT people haven't been excluded from their assistance, aside from those testimonials that we see surfacing on the net.

When my mom was young, she, her brother and my grandparents had barely enough money to survive from day to day. They were farmers, emigrated from Germany, just trying to get by. When Christmas time came around and my grandparents had nothing for my mom and uncle, my mom often recounts how it was the Salvation Army that stopped by with food and presents. That becomes a pretty big consideration when the testimonial comes from within your own family.

The question then becomes: who am I really hurting by choosing not to donate to this group? The balance that I've struck is to not exclusively donate to the Salvation Army, which is difficult, since they run the only donation centre and food bank in my small community and I have to drive hours to go elsewhere. I try to spread my donations around to hit up more than one charity, and hope that in so doing, that I've struck the right kind of balance.

What do you all think?

Sign me and mine up, NicholasJohn. :)

I engage them. Talk to them. Tell them what the organization as a whole is doing.

Often, the bell-ringers themselves don't know. I've cost them at least one volunteer.

I don't feel welcome in LGB spaces... well, at all... quite often. Particularly spaces whose leadership is made up entirely of gay men.

There's a habit among the queer community and advocacy groups to treat LGBT as being more LGb_t - to focus both attention and effort on gay men first, then on lesbians, then occasionally remember that bisexual/pansexual/panromantic people exist, then, if there is time left over and doing so will cost the other groups precisely nothing, mention that maybe someone should remember the trans folks.

A few years ago when HRC was willing to push the trans-exclusive equality bill? Yeah, something in my heart still hasn't forgiven that, regardless of how hard I've tried. I certainly haven't forgotten it.

Far past due. And as for any issues...

The unit will get over it. That's their JOB.
