Please don’t be rude to Salvation Army bell-ringers though. They aren’t the ones deciding who those donations do or do not help, and a lot of them probably don’t even know why the organization is so awful. Hell, I was a bell-ringer for three consecutive years when I was in high school; I didn’t find out about the awfulness until my senior year, and then I was wracked with guilt. If you want to try informing them about the Salvation Army’s bigotry, fine, just don’t open that conversation by being a total asshole.
