Dude never donate to SA. They’re profit driven religious wackadoos who have no idea how to run anything. The charity angle is just another religious scam.
Also, frankly, here in the Reno area it’s basically impossible to find a thrift store that’s not run by incredibly religious wackadoos. Best you can do is Goodwill, which is far from irreligious. Salvation Army is one of the few that isn’t blasting Jesus Rock on the speakers when you’re in there.
You can act according to your faith and still be a nice and accepting human being. Doing charity only as a promotional device would be a negative for conscience at least.
This is false and dangerous misinformation to spread. The Salvation Army will absolutely not deny services to LGBTQ people. They even run initiatives to help rescue trans people from sex trafficking, and run a trans dorm in Nevada.
The problematic part of the SA is that they lobby against gay rights in politics. So you should vote with your wallet and not support them. But if you are homeless and need help, they WILL help you.
Theyre the only people to help during actual disasters though. Good luck getting the fucking Red Cross out short of anything but a federally declared disaster.

For religious people they’re sure eager to sell used “personal massagers” for $10.

Makes sense. Nevada’s got a certain reputation because of Vegas, but folks forget about how it’s also next to/inside the Mormon belt.
Latter-day Saints were some of the earliest white settlers of Las Vegas, if you can believe it.
With the amount of Mormon churches in Vegas I believe it.
You guys don’t have Value Village/Savers?
I love how when Christians aren’t charitable they are called hypocrites and when they are people complain that they are “religious wackadoos”, lol.

It’s not “only as a promotional device”, though.
I mean I guess they’re using the “charity” to generate personal cash as well
SA is anti-LGBTQ. They will deny them services.
Give them disks of gay and trans porn, got it.
Don’t forget to label them as “Bible cartoons and movies.”
I’m about to blow $9.99 on some custom vinyl stickers
Don’t trick kids into watching porn.

You can just send those directly to my DMs, thanks.

This they actually fund against Queer peoples rights
Is that the deseret industries thing?
Nah Deseret anything is usually a Mormon thing. The Salvation Army was a different weirdo sex cult.
Isn’t the Salvation Army not Methodist?
Yes, it’s not Methodist!
Oops. I must be thinking of a different organisation, then
Nah, it’s reasonable enough, dude left the Methodist Church to do his thing.
Goodwill isn’t much better. They’re a non-profit that acts like a for profit.
I wonder if there are any thrift shops that are actually good.
