INGRATE FACIST BASTARDS!

Ok, as some will know, I work for several charities. While I give to charity (after checking up on the charity first to make sure I approve of it) I also give of my time and skills -free legal advice is an asset to a charity and the people it supports (yes, that may sound a little arrogant, but it's true).

One of these organisations (a centre for victims of domestic and sexual abuse) has recently merged with another with a similar purpose. I wasn't entirely happy, as I didn't approve of the other organisation's methods, but still, it was doing good works.

I don't work with them any more. One of the new 'organisers' saw my pentacle, and asked many questions about it in a moderately polite manner. I thought nothing of it, she disapproved but I didn't expect her to be leaping for joy. At least I kept my pentacle in my shirt when speaking to the people we were helping, unlike her neck jarringly huge crucifix.

Next, another organiser noticed that I was picked up frequently from the centre by my boyfriend. Innocently asking whether he was my brother, I replied 'no, my partner'. Fairly simple, right?

I then received and oh so polite letter informing me that they do not think my help is compatible with the charty's mission (and it seems the new letterhead has a crucifix in it), they also believe that their international efforts will be compromised as their relationships with other foreign charities may be jeopodised.

I have since found out that the few gay males who used to attend the centre (domestic and sexual abuse happens among every couple) are no longer accomodated.

Now I'm going to go break something.
