The Salvation Army's own official page titled "The LGBTQ Community and The Salvation Army," stating that any person who seeks help "will receive assistance based on their need," that its programs and services are provided "without unlawful discrimination or harassment based on...sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression," that its hiring practices are "open to all," and that it provides the same benefits to same-sex and opposite-sex couples. The page carries no publication date and does not itself state the organization's doctrinal teaching on marriage or ordained office.
