Catholic Charities suck

It's the beginning of the Dougmas season. It's also the season when people feel obliged to give money to strangers. Cause, you know, poor people only get hungry in December.

Anyway, don't give money to Catholic Charities. They're jackasses.

Long time readers know of my contempt for The Salvation Army. They don't give aid to homeless gay people who are often homeless because their overly Christian parents threw them out of the house. And much of the money given to them is used to lobby various governments in an attempt to make them exempt from fairness in employment laws that require them to ignore sexual orientation in their hiring policies. And much of their giving requires that the recipient attend their services first.

Well, recently Catholic Charities have been threatening the DC city government. DC is looking to pass a law that says if a charity takes taxpayer money then they have to obey anti-discrimination laws with regards to sexual orientation. Catholic Charities says that if that's the case they'll just have to take their services and leave. Screw that love and charity to fellow man stuff. Piss on hate the sin and love the sinner. They feel they have every right to hate whoever they damn well feel like. If they're forced to stop acting like bigots then they're gonna stop all that charity crap.

So, the Salvation Army hates these anti-discrimination laws but still feels it has an obligation to provide it's services. Catholic Charities feels no such moral drive. If they don't get to be bigots then they don't want to help anyone.
