          No offense but it’s literally called the salvation army.

      It was suspected the the Salvation Army has an outwardly opposition to the letter gang and discriminated accordingly. So much so that Chik-Fil-A dropped their contract with them.

      However, i have not been able to find any direct examples of discrimination. That is not me saying they don’t exist. Just haven’t found anything substantial

        What is the letter gang? DDG isn’t returning anything specific.

            “Letter gang” are you really an idiot or just hoping to influence idiots?

              “The Alphabet Mafia” and similar is not an uncommon joke in queer spaces.

              You change society by transgressing. That’s literally what being queer is all about! That’s why it’s ‘queer’ and not ‘totally conformist’.

              I wear a Be Gay Do Crime pink triangle pin at work, and I am proud. Letter Gang rise up and take human decency by force.

              Haha, really? The last time I checked, there was nothing against calling the LGBTQIA+ community the letter gang. Just the alphabet gang. Plus, it’s 3 syllables vs. 8. It’s easier to say and type. And now I’m going to keep using it just to piss you off specifically. At least until someone speaks to me respectfully and asks me not to use it with a good argument of why not to.

                Thank you for being queer.

                Here’s a three year old thread about how ‘alphabet mafia’ is bad: https://old.reddit.com/r/lgbt/comments/kcw77d/please_stop_using_alphabet_mafia/
                It’s not a good argument. It seems some people refuse to accept that speech can involve metaphor, allusion, and so on. Maybe everyone should be forced to study literature until they understand that.
