“I respect your religion. But when I see posters and placards on the wall that reflect Christian principles, I feel left out. . . . It offended me, and I don’t think it’s right for the Y.”

A quote from one of the participants at the YMCA convention.

“Unfortunately, people look at us and just see a swim and gym song.”

Well, then he doesn't need to join the Y. It's a private organization and anyone is free to join, or not join. Nobody is forcing him to go there. If he doesn't like it, he can join another gym instead of forcing everyone to capitulate to his poor, offended feelings ***whine***

A whole lot of people in this world need to get over it and get a life.

I think it's gay.

And how about if a someone complained.....

But when I see posters and placards on the wall that reflect Christian male principles, I feel left out. . . . It offended me, and I don’t think it’s right for the Y.”

Or perhaps

But when I see posters and placards on the wall that reflect Christian young people's principles, I feel left out. . . . It offended me, and I don’t think it’s right for the Y.”

What part of Young Men's Christian Association didn't he get? He also knew that when he joined.

>>>...It offended me...<<<

This little mantra is the most potent weapon in the war on American unity that the Lefties, Feminists, and the homosexuals are waging on us. These people are the "fifth column" in the War Against America.

As they say, the YMCA is neither exclusively for the young, nor for men, nor for Christians. I assume it is an association.

I thought the battle had been thoroughly lost, nice to see there is a "confessing YMCA" movement.

The Battle for the Soul of the YMCA

After he moved to the Twin Cities area for graduate school, my brother
went to the local YMCA in his search for a gym.

He said that after 5 minutes in the place...he could see it was
probably was a pretty nice bath-house that just happened to be
in Minnesota, not in San Francisco.

He said that some of his work colleagues laughed when he told them
about this and said that some of the local YMCAs were "just plain gay".

This was in the early 1990s.

My brother and I went to a summer camp for a week at the Y when we were young. I still remember the camp counselor giving me a bible when I left, because I didn't have one of my own, and I had a lot of questions about what she told us about it. (Born Catholic, raised without religion unfortunately.)

It's sad that people are trying to change the very foundations of the Y. That counselor had a very positive impact on me.

Yes, there are many who are offended by not being encouraged to kill your neighbor, not being encouraged to commit adultery, and not being encouraged to lie. You have a good home, along with the MSM, in the Democrat party.
