BALTIMORE: Whole Foods Solicits Donations For Anti-Gay Charity

Today JMG reader John convinced the manager of a Baltimore-area Whole Foods to temporarily remove a placard which solicits donations for a local charity which trumpets the below mission statement on its website.

We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman. We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery, and pornography are sinful perversions of God’s gift of sex. We believe that God disapproves of and forbids any attempt to alter one’s gender by surgery or appearance.

According to John, the manager mentioned having received other complaints about the charity. For now, their slot (on the left) on the Whole Foods donation station remains blank. Contact the manager to keep it that way: Dan.Reilly@WholeFoods.com.

UPDATE: Please note that the House of Ruth, which is pictured above, is not the charity in question. The Baltimore Rescue Mission is the charity whose placard has been removed from the above donation box.
