Freedom of association in private organizations should be staunchly defended.

Whispers of litigation against these churches have already spurred non-profit legal foundations

So this is, "Donate to me or I'll sue!"?

Disgusting...

strangely, there was this lack of outrage about girl scouts full of lesbians and people still buying their cookies.

i think lesbians are the mastermind behind all this “gay movement”

My bulletin advertises a meeting on why the Catholic Church does not approve the homosexual agenda. I’m tempted to go and ask about the Boy Scouts. I will be hugely surprised if they kick the Boy Scouts out.

And yet the BSA claims they came to this decision via a democratic process. Something does not smell right.

...democratic process.

You know what they say about the democratic process..

"Two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner."

Right now, especially after the Southern Baptist pull out, there needs to be a quantified list of the damages to the BSA. This will be a stronger selling point, to be able to say, for example, 10,000 Troops have ceased to be, and it has cost the BSA $25 million dollars in the immediate loss of funding.

I doubt the BSA will be very forthcoming with these statistics, but if they leak out, somehow, it is going to be a devastating response to this attack.

... the Boy Scouts of America’s landmark vote to allow openly gay young men and boys to participate in scouting.

The BSA's problems are bad enough without exaggeration or using misleading terms. No men in the duties of leadership will be allowed if they choose to be openly gay.

Bingo!

BSA is dead. What a shame. An American tradition taken down by a very few.

Queers: "We are the 3.4%."

The BSA will implode as more and more troops disband as decades long support from churches and other groups ends. It is sad to see the BSA tear themselves apart for the benefit of a handful of gays.

It was a good organization that decided to kiss liberal a$$, and now it’s worthless.

Take your kids out.

I give it 1 year.
Well, maybe 2. Court dates take awhile.

No just the front. Just like hollyweird constantly has shows on where men are supposedly turned on by or bream about two girls going at it. Notice in the porn industry two women are portrayed as hot and XXX while the men are dubbed gay porn. Sadly it is working

IT is the little foot in the door to desensitize the occupants so the rest of the unwanted patron can enter the house welcomed.

Sadly with troops disbanding that leaves more money at the national level for fewer troops which equates for a net gain to spend on propaganda, until the donation dry up catches up that is.

And how do you propose that they will be able to keep them out? They were able to legally keep out open gays before because it was part of the core values of Scouting.

Now that open gayness is no longer part of the scouts' core values, I'm sure that the court challenges are already being drawn up.

The churches that have been taken over by homos have lost huge numbers of congregants. They will kill the boyscouts, too. Those placing their hope in lying homo slogans and staying will soon find out exactly why the homos demanded to have access to little boys and teens in their tents. Poor kids.

I think I saw a post in regard to the LGB not allowing the BSA to wear their uniforms in a parade. So much for the intolerant behaviors of the tolerant. Why didn’t the BSA scream at the top of their lungs about that decision?

The time is ripe to have families that are involved with boy scouts to start their own brand of scouting. They are going to lose meeting places if they remain with BSA, since most meeting in and are “sponsored” by churches. The school districts, at least in St. Louis are not letting the scouts use their schools any longer, due to some insurance issue.

Folks buy those half-rate tasteless puks only because those sweet little girls are peddling them. Half probably go to cornered up kinfolks.
