From the article:

In a discussion for Australia’s Joy 94.9 FM, a senior official in the Australian Salvation Army suggested that sexually active LGBT people should be put to death.

The discussion between LGBT journalists Serena Ryan and Pete Dillon; and Major Andrew Craibe, the Salvation Army’s Territorial Media Relations Director for the Southern Territory followed the singer Darren Hayes saying that the organization should be boycotted because of its attitude to homosexuality.

There are plenty of organizations out there doing good work who don't discriminate. Besides, I've been told by people in the SA that they're a church first, a relief organization second. I'm certainly not going to contribute to fundy indoctrination. I won't even throw change into one of those kettles beside the bell ringers.
