The Salvation army (at least in Australia) takes money from donations and gives it to anti-LGBTQIA+ lobby group. NOT the thousands upon thousands they get from the government. Money from donations and from op shops.
In 2019 they were the largest contributors to an anti-safe school lobby initiative. The safe school policy in Australia protects vulnerable youth from harassment by both peers and teachers based on race, gender identity, sexual identity, economic standing and ethnicity.
Donating to the Salvation army directly hurts the LGBTQIA+ community
