Ok, I needed to share this with anyone. I went the other day to look through the old vinyl records they sell at the local Salvation Army. I found the original Cabaret but it was a little beat up so I continued to look and found one that was so much nicer. Well, I get home and take out the record and what do I find but a playbill from the original production with the original cast! There was even a slip that said something along the lines of: At this performace the role of Clifford Bradshaw will be played by Edward Winter. I love Salvation Army!

That's so cool! I love that place, too. It's where I do all my back-to-school shopping. I used to be ashamed of it, but now I don't care. They have way too much cool stuff!

That's awesome! Salvation Army can be lots of fun...once a month one of my friends and I devote an entire day to shopping there...some of the things we find are priceless!

they are one of the most homophobic organizations on the planet. I don't go near them.
There are enough other organizations with resale shops that are friendly towards ALL people.

The late Edward Winter, YUM. He used to send up MY Col Flagg every time.

Please try Goodwill. Same concept, very different philosophies.

Just one example - they denied aid from their 9/11 relief fund (which was derrived from donations specifically for that purpose) to anyone identified as gay.

I avoid the Salvation Army as well. For one, even after their Western Conference approved domestic partnerships, the National organization rescinded on the decision.

Yea, I am surprised that they even accept OBC recordings they are so anti-gay.
