Singer Ellie Goulding is threatening to back out of a performance at the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving game halftime show over fan complaints about the Salvation Army. The Grammy-nominated artist was set to perform at the game between the Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills during the halftime show, which will kick off the organizations annual Red Kettle Campaign.
The backlash came after Goulding took to Instagram on Tuesday to share an image of herself helping out at a Salvation Army location in New York City, which prompted some followers to criticize her for backing an organization they believe is not supportive of the LGBTQ community.

Salvation Army is a Christian ( Methodist:/ holiness) church. As such, it teaches hydro- Christian [Biblical) moral values. Just like any other good honest church. But unlike some other churches, the SA also does a tremendous amount of good helping people - individually and en masse when there are large disasters, hurricanes, floods, etc. in short, the Army practices what it preaches. I wonder how many of the LGBQXYZ protesters do much real good for the needy?
I’d like to know how much out of every dollar actually goes to those needy children . . .
Ps: I never heard of this singer She is pretty. I do t blame her but it sure would be nice if she does the show and simply asks the audience to please consider donating to the good work of the Salvation Army
Who? Never heard of her and don’t recognize her.
Don’t threaten, just leave. There’s the door. Bye!
Geriatrician! God what’s happening to me?
I live in constant fear of an old head injury causing early dementia.
Now there’s proof!
Excuse me now I’ll be busy the rest of the day or torturing myself with fear :-)
It was good to see the NFL back away from fining Zeke Elliot from jumping into the Red Kettle. That weekend the Salvation Army saw a 65% increase in donations thanks to Zekes playful stunt.
Yet I wonder if the NFL charges the Salvation Army for having the Red Kettle on the field. If so, that would be bad publicity for the NFL.
I think you missed the part where Blondie identified With the Queer and Aberrant. She forces the Salvation Army to donate to the Queer and Aberrant, or else she will drop her appearance.
There is nothing redeeming about Blondie, her spinelessness, her opportunism, her soullessness on this one, I’m afraid.
The excerpt was misleading, I agree, but the story is the Rest of the story.
A few Christmases ago, faggies were putting phony $5 bills in the kettles, with a pro-fag message on the reverse.
I used to give to the SA every year and every time I walked past a bell ringer. My dad and uncles were all WWII vets and to the day they died, everyone of them refused to give a nickel to the red cross and couldn't do enough for "Sally Ann" because of how they treated the GIs during the war.
I just figured if the SA was good enough for them, it was good enough for me: and it was until the summer of 2017 when The Salvation Army joined the rest of the "show me the money" charities and stiffed POTUS by canceling their annual fund raisers at Mar-a-Lago in protest of Trump's Charlottesville position.
F'em
I give everything I give to the DAV now.
Hit her with a breech of contract lawsuit.
Why would terrorists attack their friends and supporters?
Actually the Salvation Army is very inclusive in their hiring, not sure what the complaint is.
Why is someone from the UK singing anyway?
About the only good thing Zeke has ever done.
I give everything I give to the DAV now.....Did they ever get rid of the thieves they had five or six years ago? Or was that Wounded Warriors? Or Shriners Hospital? Or Clinton Foundation?
Who?!
Instagram followers. But yeah ... it’s kind of cult like.
As far as I can see the DAV is just what they claim to be.
I like them the best of the groups that I have contributed to.
I'm not trying to drum up business for the DAV, it just seems to me that the Salvation Army might be Going Native.
Wow. You are right.
Never heard of her, but in this case, I hope the door does hit her in the a@@ on the way out.
