We should win this one if they follow the law. YIS
In 1928, the City of Philadelphia granted to the Philadelphia Council of the Boy Scouts of America1 permission to build its headquarters on a parcel of land owned by the city. Located on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, the property was to be the home of the Boy Scouts’ regional headquarters. The terms of the arrangement were set out in a City Ordinance, which granted to Cradle “the privilege of erecting at its own expense on the lot . . . a suitable building to become at once the property of the City and to be used exclusively by the Boy Scouts for their own activities.” (Br. Supp. City of Phila. Mot. Dismiss, Ex. 1.) The Ordinance provided that “such building and lot . . . be kept in good order by said Boy Scouts during their occupancy.” (Id.) The Ordinance further allowed the City to terminate this arrangement, providing that the premises were “to be surrendered within one year after notice given them by the Commissioners of Fairmount Park, with the approval of the Mayor and City Council, of their desire to terminate the arrangement or by said Boy Scouts of their desire to surrender said property.” (Id.) source
Normal people should be suing to *demand* discrimination against people who suffer from same-sex attraction disorder.
“The reason the city don’t persecute the Catholic parish is that they do let homosexuals be priests.”
Homosexuals were ordained in direct violation of Catholic doctrine. The Holy Father, Benedict XVI, is moving to put an end to it.

“why would anyone want a homo in the boyscouts?”
For some reason, I think chickenhawks might.
Kind of like the old "Drug Fair" - now gone, but named in a simpler time.
The city may well have lost control, if not ownership, of the land in question.
As far as the Boy Scouts building is concerned, a government can never claim "adverse possession". Instead this becomes a "taking". Kelo didn't exempt the government from paying for property it takes. That ruling simply allowed certain governments in some states to pay for it and then give it away to rich people who felt a need.
I would imagine a court could set a very high value on that building and stick Philadelphia with a major bill.
This stuff is all pretty basic. I think all the court is going to get into here is a timetable for events and a computation of who owes what for which, and the homosexual community will be blamed for it all ~ which they should be. Greedy bunch of little piggies they are too!
Someone needs to gently remind Philadelphia that the Boy Scouts were just sued because some of their scouts were molested in years past by leaders and to point out that boy scouts are male as are the leaders, ergo homosexual molestation and that is why boy scouts don’t want homosexual leaders.
I hope the Judge hands the city it’s collectivist head!
Philadelphia is a homosexual mecca... They embrace all things homosexual there and it would appear detest any group that does not drink the koolaid...
The sad news is that we never hear about the Girl Scouts dealing such conflicts as they have already been corrupted by the leftists...
I think I heard on KYW on Tuesday that the jury had been selected for this trial. 6 women and 2 men IIRC.
The National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association (NLGJA) boasted a few years ago that although homosexuals are less than two percent of the population, three-fourths of the people who decide the content of the front page of the New York Times are homosexual.
The NYT biased? Naw.
Teh Pack that I just “retired” from as a leader had fantastic growth this year. I think they gained about 15 new scouts, all from new family, no younger brothers.
Off topic-My two sons both had scouting milestones this week. My youngest earned Tenderfoot and the older one earned Life. I’ve also been very absentee, not by choice. I’m living 500 miles away due to a new job, so I wasn’t around to help as much as I wanted to.
The family is moving next week so the boys earned rank at their last ever meeting with their troop. I’m looking into starting a new home school troop in Maryland.
We had one in this part of the state at near about that same time. At least a couple of young men are dead because of him. The filthy pervert messed up a whole bunch of boys here, late ‘60s and early ‘70s. One died of AIDS, one commited suicide. At least one other one turned queer.
What next? Boys in the girl scouts and girls in the boy scouts?
Well, the women should be protective of the boys.
That's what I thought when I heard it.
