Summary: Salvation Army Appeal (Press, 22 March 1986)
In a letter dated 19 March 1986, C.J. Yeabsley expressed his disappointment with the Salvation Army's stance on homosexual law reform. He highlighted his lifelong support for the organisation, which he believed was committed to assisting all individuals in need without discrimination based on race, colour, religion, or lifestyle. However, Yeabsley was taken aback when he learned from the organisers of the recent Red Shield appeal that making a donation was seen as endorsing the Salvation Army's opposition to homosexual law reform. As a result of this revelation, he declared his intention to cease any future contributions to the organisation, stating that his donations were never meant to support their views. The letter reflects a broader concern regarding organisations' political stances and their impact on supporters' willingness to contribute.
