NBC news ^ | Miranda Leitsinger

Boy Scouts and adult volunteers wore their uniforms Sunday as they marched in Utah's gay pride parade — defying a leader of the youth organization who had said they couldn't do so under the organization's guidelines prohibiting advocating political or social positions.

Technically, they can discriminate all they want since they are a private organization, no?

why would scout leaders let their boys march in a “gay pride” parade, in the first place?

Indeed.

This might actually be a good thing. Remember the change was a “decision” from the corporate head office. Well the rules that prohibit scouts from wearing uniforms in a political situation come down from above as well.

Perhaps no one will listen to the corporate office and they will be the ones to leave scouting and leave it to us volunteers that know what we are doing.

why can no one in a leadership position seem to find the simple words to express what needs to be expressed?

It’s so simple... say they are welcome to do as they please, but if they violate the charter then they are not exempt from consequences simply because the cause celebre happens to be homosexuality.

Why are consequences taboo?!!!

actually, looks like the first test case for the adult ban.

The one scout in uniform is over 18 and still active,

So the glove has been tossed. We know the leadership doesn’t care, they as much as admitted that this was all they could achiev (til the Catholics and Baptists quit).

The other player was the peverts at the mormon church, with 40% of the scouts. But he is marching with the mormons, so he should be safe.

This is probably just a deliberate provocation to speed the exodus of the Baptists and Catholics.

Once they are gone, the mormons and percerts can sell off the assets.

When I was in the Scouts if a kid was suspected of being gay, he didn’t last long in the troop.

When I was in the Scouts, I had never heard the word "homosexual" and was unaware that homosexuality even existed.

It’s not the people in leadership, it is the head of the corporate office.

Excellent. Now watch the leadership that allowed openly homosexual people into the scouts determine they can’t tolerate scouts and leaders who wore the uniform proudly.

Rules don’t apply to liberals, minorities, women, non-Christians, and gays.

Don't forget the Moslems. Oh, wait... they're still a minority, at least for now.

BSA changed its homosexual scout policy on urging from the loathsome scum at NAMBLA
Coach is Right ^ | 6/2/13 | Kevin “Coach” Collins

Posted on Sunday, June 02, 2013 8:48:35 AM by Oldpuppymax

For many years the North American Man Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) has been licking its lips at the thought of legalizing sodomy with little boys. Raping little boys with impunity is all these loathsome scumbags think about day and night. Unencumbered by the responsibilities of living a normal life, NAMBLA members are able to put all of their efforts, time and money into bringing about the satanic kingdom they long for. They will do anything to get their way.

NAMBLA follows a kind of paraphrase of the famous bank robber Willie Sutton who once said he robbed banks “because that’s where the money is.” For NAMBLA finding a way into the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is “going where the...

It’s not either or. Faggots are after young boys, it’s been that way since faggots started being faggots.

Also, raping of the conquered, standard practice for them. Increasing the number or mooslime children? Not so much...they are not born Muslim, they are born human.


According to Mozlems, the kids they have are born Mozlem, and it is forbidden for them to ever leave Islam. Once a Mozlem, always a Mozlem, or death. It’s being born into a gulag.

Unless I'm mistaken, the matchmaking service eHarmony.com was forced to include matchmaking for homosexuals. Disney Theme Parks are private organizations, but can you imagine the fireworks if they moved to prevent homosexuals from entering the parks on Gay Day? Disney Co. couldn't stop Gay Day even if it wanted to -- many here assume that it doesn't, but I expect that many in the company would love to put a halt to Gay Days but know better than to say so publicly. So instead, Disney withdraws and says, with genuine credibility, "Sorry, folks, there's nothing we can do about it."

No, I don't think the "but it's a private organization!" would prevent lawyers advocating the gay agenda from using anti-discrimination and civil rights arguments to sue said private organizations into the stone age.
