What does celebrating, promoting, and supporting the open practice of sodomy have to do with helping kids fight childhood cancer? That’s the question donors need to be asking St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
St. Jude was founded in 1962 by the famous actor and comedian, Danny Thomas. A Maronite Catholic, Thomas had a great devotion to St. Jude Thaddeus and made a promise that if he became successful as an entertainer, he would erect a shrine to St. Jude. In the 1950s, his wife began raising funds for the establishment of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to make good on that promise.

Unfortunately, despite its original mandate to help kids survive catastrophic illnesses, St. Jude has strayed into the promotion of gravely immoral ideologies by fighting anti-LGBT laws, sponsoring LGBT pride events, openly promoting homosexuality, and even marching – with children – in LGBT Pride parades.
On June 1, 2024, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was heavily represented at the Memphis Pride parade. Wearing “St. Jude Supports Pride” t-shirts, carrying a banner with the same moniker, and waving rainbow flags, over 100 people representing the research hospital – and their young children – showed up about 40 minutes into the parade.

Glad to know this before finally maybe donating. My mother always melted and got sad seeing the endless ads. Don’t think she ever got around to donating, which is funny since she donated to far too much.

The long time, regular donors probably already know about St Jude and have stopped giving.
And that is why St Jude is advertising constantly on nearly all TV channels.
And St Jude is also a big advertiser on the internet.
thats a shame.
Where’s Marlo?
I’ve been donating for years to St. Jude.
I had no idea any of that money was supporting Planned Parenthood and the Globohomo agenda.
I’m certainly going to have to pray about whether I continue to donate or not. This is quite disturbing.
Is that so? Well, then they’ll never see one cent from me unless they ditch the alphabet mafia lifestyle and stop promoting killing innocent babies in the womb. And I don’t foresee them doing that anytime soon.
Please say it isn’t so!
Means one of the only legitimate & useful charities has gone down the drain, if true...
Yes, they should be ashamed of themselves for that worldview.
I donate a pretty fair every year going on over a decade. I will stop and pen a letter telling them why. Getting harder every year to find places to give that aren’t rotting from the head down.
Do you think that every parent who has a gay child....throws them to the curb?
By the same token, St. Jude's is not going to turn away a gay child. That's not promoting.

Ditto. I'm just hearing about this and.....I have made up my mind, they won't be getting any more money from me.
If they have money to push those causes they don’t need mine. I just cancelled.
“If they have money to push those causes they don’t need mine. I just cancelled.”
Actually it’s disgusting that they were using donations to support that crap. The money is supposed to used to help sick children and their families.
Danny Thomas is turning in his grave.
I cannot find any source that says St. Jude’s supports Planned Parenthood.
Another institution corrupted by leftist ideology. Funny, those ads on tv never show the rainbow shirts and flags.
