At the same time the anti SA sentiment does not help those within the SA Church who fight for inclusion and affirmation of SA members from the LGBTQ+ community

In broader terms I tend to think many of the most virulent critics of the SA may have fairly limited direct knowledge of the org & its people, but the strong, captivating & compelling narrative has wholly convinced them of the malevolence of the SA. So, the SA’s reputation is likely unrecoverable

No. I'm saying if they wish to criticise The Salvation Army re their relationship with LGBTQ+ folks, it damages their argument and credibility if they use a pic that suggests there are/were 'tens of thousands of New York soup kitchens'. Better to criticise accurately, with decent research & truth.

The context of the paper and its critique, or the context of my question?

I’m constantly amazed that people share a piece of paper that says there are tens of thousands of soup kitchens in New York, and somehow think they have a credible point to prove

I’d be wary of a piece of paper that says there are tens of thousands of soup kitchens in New York…
