The Scouts are 100% correct in their rules to prevent homosexuals becoming leaders. Of the molestation’s of boys, the majority are done by homosexuals, in a far disproportionate percentage to their percentage of society in general (<10%).
There are just laws, and there are unjust laws. This is an unjust law. And BTW, the City of Philadelphia is breaking an AGREEMENT based upon this bogus law. So its ok for cities to go against their word is it Hmmmmm? The only compromise is for the city to back down and honor its previous agreement (which predate - grandfathered, this “law”).
“There are just laws, and there are unjust laws. This is an unjust law.”
Because you say so, apparently.
“And BTW, the City of Philadelphia is breaking an AGREEMENT based upon this bogus law.”
If the agreement had been to bar blacks, would the agreement stand? Of course not. Civil rights would trump $1 rental agreements. You undoubtedly find this to be a flawed comparison, but many others do not. So the disagreement continues.
I think this situation is unfortunate, my father was an eagle scout, and he loves the organization... but the city can’t allow you to discriminate and simultaneously receive public tax dollars.
The local Scouts were okay with allowing gays. And by gays, be clear - they not only do not allow gay Scoutmasters, but they also do not allow gay scouts. They also do not allow Atheists.
Also: No one has answered this previously, so I'll ask again: If the City of Philadelphia is immoral and full of horrible libertines, why do the Scouts want their money? You can answer "well, they had a contract", but things change - discrimination is no longer legal and neither are contracts that allow discrimination, so that's really not a valid answer anymore.
But even if it is an answer, If the City of Philadelphia is so goshawful bad, why take their money?
Money comes with strings.If the money is dirty, and you consider yourself clean, why do you want the dirty money?
