With work ramping up in Washington on a "hate crimes" bill that would create special rights for homosexuals, a case that addresses a related issue claims by same-sex couples they have the right not to be "offended" by "straight' morality has been presented to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The case involves a series of projects by the Boy Scouts of America in San Diego. The private organization has provided millions of dollars in improvements to public facilities in exchange for their use but faces being banned because homosexuals and lesbians who never even were exposed to the work claimed their feelings were hurt.

(MAJOR SARCASM ALERT!) We have it on good authority that the Boy Scout Council in the Bay area has been sued to force them to add this new and distinctive badge to the Scout program there:

Lord forgive me, but I hate homos!!
This doesn’t makes no sense.
If homosexuals win this case, they’ll set legal precedent that they can be sued by anyone who is offended by homosexuality.
Sadly, we will see the day when the activist homo’s will finally kill off the BSA.
They sure are tolerant, aren’t they?
That would be a hate crime.
The homonazis are in discrimination and hate crime territory for singling out the scouts.
Which is exactly why they will win. It is completely against the First Amendment, but oh well.
I wouldn’t physically “boot” them out of their building. I would do it legally. They must have got a fire code violation somewhere. The law is the law.
I suppose this means I cannot get my “Lesbian Wrangler” merit badge?
no they don’t hate the male species..........even though it is simply the choice of the Almighty they didn’t get different anatomy and they are hacked off about it
White, heterosexual, Christians are not covered by hate crime laws, sorry.
it’s right there in the Constitution ...next to the penumbra.
Numbers 16:21
Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
2 Corinthians 6:17
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
The Boy Scouts have provided an invaluable, postive program and environment for millions of boys for over a century, not to mention their community service, and time and again they get hauled into court to defend themselves against frivilous lawsuite from people who until fairly recently would have been considered by the medical profession to have a neurotic disorder? To what depths has this country plunged to allow that to happen? In too many ways it’s beginning to resemble some bizarre nightmare. We can thank the government at all levels, the media, and the entertainment industry (oh, and let’s add some religions denominations, too), and the indifference of the people, for that.
This case seems to be based in the presumption that not being Gay is illegal.
Anything offensive against these groups would be a hate crime.
Nope, only a protected class is protected against being offended.
There is only one class in America that doesn’t belong to a protected class. That offends me and I’m part of a protected class.
Females are.
Yep The United States starting to sound like Sodom. Want be long now.
Genesis 19
1: And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
2: And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
3: And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
4: But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
5: And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
6: And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
7: And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
8: Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
I will say it publically again-—
IF I ever win enough Lottery money to buy a large or medium sized ranch, I will put up facilities for both the Boy Scounts and the Girl Scouts.
Aren't the GS pretty feminist/leftist in their beliefs, etc.?
No, they are covered. It is just that the left is always on the attack and the right and its leaders are ever willing to sell out for a .001% tax cut.
Jiminy! Hope the lesbos are stopped dead in their tracks.
To my knowledge I have never heard of a case where a white heterosexual male has ever been a successful plaintiff in a hate speech/crime case. In fact there have been a number of black on white killing sprees where the killer has purposely and vocally made known his intent to only kill whites because they are white. The first thing out of the prosecutors mouth is always, “we do not consider this to be a hate crime.”
If you can show me a case that show something different I would love to see it.
Only when the defendant is a white heterosexual, Christian male. That puts white women one small step up the hate crime ladder I guess.
I think if you look at the latest bill moving through Congress they have specifically left out Christians.
And you know what we'll do about it?
Nothing.
We'll write a letter to our Congress Critter and whine on the Internet.
One more swirl 'round the toilet bowl.
I know it's a serious story, but "lesbians" gets you laughing, and "facilities" gets you wondering.
Scouts under attack again!
No one has ever filed suit against the government for derelection. It is going to take some court shopping and persistent legal action but one will make it thru the PC fog that creates a two tier legal system and when it does murderous lunatics like Olbermann (he is crazy)will have a meltdown and this whole hate crime thing will get a relook. John Floyd Thomas of LA allegedly raped and killed 30 white women and white women alone, he is a millstone about the PC Left’s neck.
I hope you are right. Because you are right about it will take something like this to put a stop to this foolishness. Once the Left can be hoisted on their own pitard it won’t seem so important or be as much fun to play the PC game.
I have not heard of the case you are talking about, but if they can document that he targeted white women only that sounds like a hate crime to me.
Google his name he was recently arrested.
The problem the Boy Scouts are having is that having adopted the ideals of the Scout Law and Scout Oath, they often forget that other people they deal with have not.
