The Scouts built the million dollar building. Tear it down if you can’t take it with you.

And no doubt the city will turn the property over to GLAAD.

Just proves there is too much city-owned facilities.

The BSA should take away the building they built piece by piece.

So the prohibition on religious establishment permits the city to mandate that all persons bow to the religion of political correctness and check your moral principles at the door.

Now the way is cleared for the city council commies to turn the building over to the North American Man-Boy Love Association for their headquarters. Embrace your new gay order, Philadelphians.

The Left likes to cite the number of child molestation cases in the Catholic Church while downplaying the number of child molestation cases in the Boy Scouts BECAUSE the Scouts know to prohibit high risk groups from participating as chaperons on overnight visits.

This brings a new and perverse meaning to the “city of brotherly love.”

"At the end of the day, you can not be in a city-owned facility being subsidized by the taxpayers and not have language in your lease that talks about nondiscrimination,
This is an unbelievable statement by a government employee. "You CANNOT...." Who made this guy God?

At the end of the day, you can not be in a city-owned facility being subsidized by the taxpayers and not have language in your lease that talks about nondiscrimination, said City Councilman Darrell L. Clarke, who represents the district where the building is located. Negotiations are over.
Funny, how they never note that this fellow is "out and proud" himself.
This whole episode is a disgrace. Sodomy triumphs over virtue--this time.

I think it’s sad that people equate pedophilia with homosexuality at this day in time. The BSA Headquarters should purchase the land from the city and finance a lease for the group that they can afford. Unfortunately, a lot of inner city kids will suffer and a beautiful landmark will be no more because of this.

Philadelphia stinks with shame today.

This building was built by the Scouts, it belongs to the Scouts, and they should take it with them - brick by brick.
