adeandabet: indyam: Hey guys. Here’s your yearly reminder to please give to more accepting charities than The Salvation Army for the holiday season. They are vehemently anti-gay, refusing to give domestic partner benefits and even shelter to gay couples that are in need. Some alternatives: HRC The Task Force State Based organizations (EqualityNC, Freedom to Marry NY, and GSE, for example) The Trevor Project Homeless Shelters for LGBT Youth, like the Ali Forney Center YES! I have to remind even my most politically savvy gay friends to not drop those quarters into the bucket held by the person ringing a bell and save them for a more tolerant organization.
