Portland Rescue Mission Wants Your Winter Coats and Sweaters ... Unless You're Gay

It's the holiday season, which means the spirit of gift giving is in the air. What better way to spread some good cheer than giving back to an organization fighting homelessness

Oh. Glad to see some Christian charity and love this holiday season.

Too bad it couldn't be on the part of a faith-based organization.

Appropriate icon is appropriate.

Is this the part where I remind people not to give to the Salvation Army?

I try not to be mean to the poor shmucks ringing the bells at the grocery store, but I make it a point to explain why I don't give.

I just kind of avoid them since I know it's personally not their fault the organization is so homophobic. But maybe next time I'll stop and tell them why.

I've got limited funds to begin with, so what I do give isn't going to such a homophobic group.

Same here. I try to target a few good charities I can afford each year and stick to those (though I think they waste it all on sending me crap in the mail all the time, but that's another issue).

Dammit! How will we recruit new gays now?!? Infecting people with our gently used clothing has worked for so long!

Wow. Jesus must be raging in heaven right now (if you believe that he exists).

Remember folks, being critical of people's sexuality is FAR more important than alleviating the suffering of others.
