Yeah, I know. It sucks. But consider that some of the better charities/organizations have boards packed with old folks. Institutional thing. I have found that bad ideas don't really change, but people with bad ideas eventually die like the rest of us. So what I am suggesting is that you not give up on these organizations. Make your voice heard. Drop in a note. Write a letter. I support the Scouts but I also raised a ruckus. They are going to do the right thing, eventually.
easy for someone to say who is not directly affected by their words or actions.
telling my mom she cant give money to help others because shes gay hurts.
getting fired from jobs because shes gay hurts.
where was our help when she was jobless and could barely keep the heat on in the house?

i prefer NOT to support people who look at my mother like shes a horrendous person because she likes the same sex. there are other charitable places that we can help out

Hey Sunni, I could not agree more.....Don't even get me started on Hobby Lobby ( I don't know if they are in Canada but they are anti everything and closed on Sunday)




You must spread some reputation around before giving it to Sunni again

If you go to Google and type "Salvation Army" and click on the first link for salvation army the donation page come up first.
So? How are they supposed to raise money? The organization I donate my time to is always sending me stuff about donating money. All I know is that the people I work next to seem to appreciate the help as well as the people receiving it. Food doesn't magically show up and prepare itself! lol

Your disappointment is justified. However;

and yes I too have to remind myself of this often.

Nothing wrong with that, we're on the same side. You didn't quite say so, but please don't assume that i am not directly affected.
Either way, the change will come. You cannot hold back the tide. I'm more trying to make the point that some organizations are worth saving despite their current archaic, outmoded, and offensive way of thought. I think the Scouts were a good example.

Now Hobby Lobby, that's a business. I do not look at them the same way. From this day on, I will never buy from Hobby Lobby gain. From their name, I am guessing that my hobby life is gonna suffer.
