UPS ends grants to Boy Scouts over discrimination
Associated Press ^ | Nov. 12, 2012

ATLANTA (AP) -- The UPS Foundation says it will no longer give grants to the Boy Scouts of America as long as the group excludes gays and lesbians from being scouts or scout leaders.

The philanthropic arm of the Atlanta-based shipping giant made the change Thursday after an online petition protesting the foundation's annual grants to the Boy Scouts attracted more than 80,000 signatures.

Why not contact UPS and see if it’s true first. Maybe they never gave them grants to begin with.

It is an AP story from Atlanta. AP reported that UPS gave the boy scouts $150,000 in 2010. The story by the Associated Press also names the contact at UPS.

I suspect that the UPS will lose considerably more than $150,000 per year as a result of their mean faced, illogical, and unjust action.

And they are harrassing them. This got old a long time ago. They want to force them to change. They are not going to. They don’t have to. They are being bullied.

This is what the sodomites and all leftists do...they are using Alinsky tactics to target and threaten businesses!

We need to do the same...after all, WE are on the RIGHT side of the argument!

"Why do these people do this."

They do this because they have blackmail material on an awful lot of guys who accepted a BJ when they were drunk back in college and now are in positions of authority. That's when they find out there are pictures of their with a guy kneeling in front of them or otherwise attached to them.

Queers have been blackmail targets for generations and they know all about how to get someone else in a compromising position.

Good idea!

Let's get 80,001 signatures telling them to repeal their hatred of Boy Scouts!

I think we should buy and island and sent all the gays to it...

My idea was to give them their own continent - Anarctica. They already think The World revolves around them, it seems approprate they should be at its axis.

I guess that UPS managers do not or cannot see the statistical correlation between homosexuality and pedophilia.

or the correlation between homosexuality and raging a-holes.

I wonder how much business dollars the Boy Scouts of America generates for UPS. The BSA uses UPS to ship most, if not all of their catalog purchases.

Perhaps (and do not like to be crude) they will be consistent and instruct their maintenance to insert the gas pump in the exhaust pipe (not that the anatomical aspect of homosexual relations is the only one that is contrary to what God ordained, by design and decree, in principle and precept).

Note all that Intel, one of the largest contributors to the Scouts, recently decided to the same. So i sent this email to them (feel free to do the same):

https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/forms/corporate-responsibility-contact-us.html:

I am currently doing research in planning to purchase a new PC and the competition is btwn Intel (perhaps i5-3450) and AMD (maybe FX-4170), with Intel giving better performance, but AMD costing less.

However, recently Intel ceased funding the Boy Scouts due to their exclusion of homosexual leaders, and which exclusion is understandable and right.

Men and women are uniquely compatible and complimentary, which extends beyond the physical aspect. And as a chip maker I think you understand compatibility and function, and thus your chips should not be placed in boards or used with software they were not designed for.

As a result of your politically correct support of an objectively wrong and ultimately deleterious position, I do not want to support Intel, and will encourage others to consider your AMD competition in making choices, as their The Corning Inc. Foundation still supports the Boy Scouts.

And please note that I willing would help and have helped homosexuals as I do “straight” persons, but I cannot promote their unnatural desire and practice, and instead point them and all to the Lord Jesus who offers salvation on His expense to all of us sinners, who come to Him in faith with a repentant heart.

Thank you, and please share this with your administration.

We need to make sure that outfits like Amazon don’t use UPS either. When using Amazon we need to specify that the shipper not use UPS.
