We're In a Basement
What’s that phrase? Oil and water don’t mix?
This week, Colin puts Cleveland back on the basement map while Sierra explains conspiracy theories about the Big One. Join us as we discuss the cost of bridge infrastructure, the flammability of drywall, and the only good thing Richard Nixon has ever done.
Ah, the joy of tradition. There’s nothing quite like doing something just cause you’ve done it before.
This week, Sierra and Colin jingle all the way as they discus Santa’s origin story, jam on traditions from around the world, and try to determine whether Jesus and Saint Nick are actually the same person. Tune in to learn what’s inside Salvation Army buckets, hear about fondue, fried chicken, and the worst dish to bring to Christmas dinner.
Despite The Salvation Army’s claims on LGBTQ Support stating “We want to serve [people] regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or gender orientation,” the Salvation Army has demonstrated clear anti-LGBTQ practices for over 35 years:
The church has publicly stated homosexuality is unacceptable. “Scripture opposes homosexual practices by direct comment and also by clearly implied disapproval. The Bible treats such practices as self-evidently abnormal. … Attempts to establish or promote such relationships as viable alternatives to heterosexually-based family life do not conform to God’s will for society.”
Despite recent claims by the church that they’ve changed, there is little evidence they have. Zinnia Jones, an Orlando-based transgender activist says it best: “The Salvation Army continues to maintain anti-gay theological stances, and continues to discriminate against its own employees and their partners. They also neglect to mention that the organization historically “abides” by anti-discrimination laws by way of shutting down services in areas where such laws apply. The Salvation Army has given no indication that it intends to change any of these anti-LGBT policies.” Read More
