Please do not spread such dangerous falsehoods like stating that they have not been anti-gay. These false ideas can get people hurt. Salvation Army has a very long, very intense history of going out of its way to harm LGBT people.
Nice edit.
They help 23 million people a year, without any type of discrimination. They have at least one dorm exclusively for transgender individuals. Their charity services literally benefit millions of LGBTQ individuals every year.
But if you want to call that "extremely", "violently", or "intensely" anti-gay then I certainly can't stop you.
The Salvation Army is a church, and is regulated as a church. They can inquire about your religious or personal beliefs when hiring or before providing services.
They threatened to close in NYC if they had to support gay partner's benefits in the city.
There's a laundry list of discriminatory behavior from the Salvation Army, it's patently absurd to say they operate "without any form of discrimination".
FYI, while true as a historical matter (this was done in 2010 according to a google search), I believe this is outdated. https://www.wsj.com/articles/progressives-ambush-the-salvati... notes in 2019: ‘Yet the organization says it doesn’t consider sexual orientation in hiring and now provides “the same benefits to opposite-sex and same-sex couples.”’
They are a church as you note and I’m not sure what their doctrine for their followers is. On the other hand, isn’t it anti-religious bias to attack someone for donating to a church? In US law, religion is protected on the same level as any other protected characteristic (sex, race, etc.) due to the long history of discrimination against minority religions for their political or moral views.
In general attacking CFA for donating to a mainstream christian church seems only a step away from demanding that followers of Christianity who attend or donate to their churches must be fired from their jobs or otherwise discriminated against...
