If the morons in the Philadelphia government feel that they have to pander to the homosexual community and feel that the Boy Scouts are an appropriate vehicle then they are within their rights as bullies go. Since the building was originally constructed by the Boy Scouts, Philadelphia should give it back. Of course the Boy Scouts are a non-profit organization and as such, the property should be considered tax exempt like those of other non-profit organizations.
It is difficult to believe that our country has so many morally bankrupt people in government positions of authority.

I guess this is what happens when all those gay politicians come out of the closet.

“I guess this is what happens when all those gay politicians come out of the closet.”

Its what happens when good people allow themselves to be bullied. Its also what happens when a few people set out to make a ‘change’ get into power.

“there are plenty of heterosexuals who beat their wives and kill people, do drugs and embezzle.”

So you are saying its because they are heterosexual that they do these despicable things?

Will a kid “turn gay” by exposure to gays? Your implication is they would not but you have little evidence of that. Why take the smallest chance that even one could? The more you make a behavior acceptable the more people will engage in it.
Why in the world would you want your children even exposed to such sickness? Just because it exists is no reason to encourage it. People exist who are alcoholics but you would not tell your kids that its ok to be one.

I hope the Scouts stick to their guns

Do they still have a marksmanship merit badge?

IslamoFascists are not the only Fascists prowling the world. Anti Christian, anti American fascists are hard at work right here in America under the mantle of the ACLU, “Gay Rights” and other organizations bent on destroying America. No doubt about it.

Whether Philadelphia would be a better city without the Scouting movement is not the question. These bottom feeding slugs dont want the city to be better. They just want to destroy a Christian based organization that has benefited millions of young boys. Whatever it takes to accomplish that is fine with them. Then they could continue with their “Folsom St Fair” like activities spreading disease, immorality and pro gay bigotry.

Just think how much the 'gay agenda' would be furthered by having a 'gay rights crusader' like Rudy Giuliani as President!!!

He would likely be the Republican ABRAHAM LINCOLN of the 'gay movement'.

Dear Philidelphia,

Being “The City of Brotherly Love” does NOT mean that the Boy Scouts have to take it in the shorts, by establishing an enclave for homosexual predators.

What happened to those pitches for the United Way once during every NFL game? I cannot recall seeing one recently.

exactly the correct answer. Take the united way forms when (if) given to you at work and toss it, write check to BSA. Non-Sequitor has solve the Filthadelphia problem, sell the ground to the BSA and leave them alone.

The Boy Scouts want to help raise another generation of boys into manhood. That’s why they are in Philadelphia. You can’t abandon boys to the predators.

The Boy Scouts paid for the construction of the building and are responsible for all of the maintenance. The $1 a year fee is really misleading.

As I recall, the building belongs to the Boy Scouts. The land belongs to the city. I think that the city is going to have to pay fair market price for this building. At least they should, but again, this is a RAT-infested burg and they make the rules as they go along to support their crime syndicate.

In my years in the Scouts, I don’t recall any leaders who ever mentioned a sexual preference .Gays seem to have this proclivity of defining their entire existence on their sexual preference.Young people don’t need to be exposed to these freaks

...some people said the same thing about some man who went to have dinner at a tax collector’s house.

Seriously, this is a homosexual imposing a state view of a matter of conscience on a group of people. IOS a first amendment violation.
