that's nice & all but yikes... threatening someone to do something you want else you're gonna pull out?

 

i wonder how this would go if the tides were turned

Sis imagine if there was a known racist organization and a performer used their influence to basically force them to either change their stance or unwillingly help poc rights groups. Wouldn't sound so bad then, would it? 

Gaga was supposed to have a Born This Way launch deal with Target. They were found donating to anti LGBT groups. She pulled out of the deal. Eventually target changed their stance partly because of her.

Not as well because “I’m boycotting ur lack of bigotry” doesn’t sound as good as “I’m boycotting ur bigotry”

Salvation Army, in the UK, isnt as controversial as it is in the US. She thought she had good intentions and then changed her stance once aware. Good for her.

Oh her     Not so keen on her music or her voice, but if she is helping out the LGBT community then thats all that matters

Good. A huge 

to the Salvation Army. 

 

Always harassing me everytime I step outside, but want to donate my money to anti-gay organizations. No thanks.

hmm.. forcing someone to change, to unwillingly do something. that sounds a bit dangerous & could lead to a huge backlash. whether with good intentions or bad. 

 

what gaga did was admirable, even though Target at the time was also donating money to organizations that did support same-sex marriage. my thing i guess is forcing someone to do something unwillingly is not okay, from either perspective. especially in this day and age where we preach tolerance yet it's 'do this or i cancel'. i believe we need to find better solutions than that.

we'll get nowhere in this world if a different opinion will be defined as bigotry.

Is she on stilts? Why does she look so tall in that pic?

The majority of the replies reminded me of why I don't ever wanna come here anymore. Yikers.

[Mistress Dita 331]

I mean this is good and all but why is she ignoring all the good the Salvation army does for people. I don’t feel like this is helping by attacking a charity....

Instead she should do this and donate to charities that only donate to LGBT causes. Then she is benefiting everyone like she intends.

No one is being forced to do anything. Salvation Army can tell Ellie to go **** herself but they risk negative public opinion if they do so. The public demanding decency from organizations isn’t “intolerant”. 
 

and if ur so called “opinion” is anti gay, ur a bigot. Period.
