Comment on Anon comes out to his religious parents
howrar@lemmy.ca 2 weeks agoI don’t see how donating it is any less morally wrong. Between what he did and what you propose, both involve using the money to fix the same problem. The difference is just
- whether he provides the services himself or someone else does and
- whether we fix it through prevention or treatment after the fact.

How are both using the money to fix the same problem? The $700 was spent on random bills as far as we know. Not to help more kids.

And what happens when you donate the money? It’s used to pay some other dude’s wages, which then goes towards their bills.

Bills which go towards some goal if you donate it to a charity.

Bills that go towards the goal of keeping someone alive. That someone being either a person who helps victims of conversation therapy through an organization, or a person doing the same thing independently. What makes the former more deserving of compensation for their work than the latter?
