Yeah, the "vote" was in favor because the Councils and National stacked the deck...no surprise there.
The poll results were almost the direct opposite of the vote results...60+% of those surveyed opposed the change, yet, that somehow becomes 60+% voting for the change.
Yep, makes sense to me.
As a result of those shenanigans by the BSA to essentially "force" the change, they have compromised their ethics, morals, character and leadership...they are unfit, IMO.
Oh, and btw Mr. Gates, spare me the "healing" nonsense...I'm out and won't be coming back. The BSA told me and folks like me who won't bow to political correctness, that we aren't "welcome" any longer. Conform or else.
Sorry, but character counts.
Or don't you believe that anymore?
