| Howard Miller, co-president of the Fort Myers chapter of Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, or PFLAG, said that instead of money, he is dropping notes explaining a boycott of the Salvation Army into the red kettles of bell-ringers at local shopping centers. PFLAG doesn't agree with the Salvation Army's policies toward gays and lesbians. The Salvation Army doesn't ask the people who receive its help what their sexual orientation is. They give toys to needy children at Christmas. They give grocery baskets to needy families all year long. When there's a disaster, anything from a garage fire to the WTC attacks, the Salvation Army is there with hot coffee, donuts, and any help they can give. PFLAG doesn't do those things. Please help support the Salvation Army. |
