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.

That was a clear and concisely written message that outlines a reasonable explanation for your actions.. Mine may be even clearer..
Your decision to discontinue funding THE BOY SCOUTS based of their refusal to accept Homosexual scoutmasters, has inspired me to explain why I have decided to do the same to you..
If you believe SEX should be so important in your decision making, try this on for size.. SCREW YOU! Carlo.. :)
UPS dropping its package at the back door, instead of the front door. It’s about “brown” don’t ya’ know.
ESAD, UPS.
As the mom of former Boy scouts, I will be switching to FedEx
>> We need to make sure that outfits like Amazon don’t use UPS either.
Support the US Postal Service. It can use the business.
There is only one way to end this sort of cowardly caving to pressure groups by US corporations. We need an organized effort where conservatives boycott any corporation that caves to the boycott threats of pressure groups.
Businesses should not be the subject of this sort of boycot threat from narrow interest groups, and the ones that cave should be punished by people who don’t believe in boycotts. But it would have to a nationwide, organized effort.
This, though is enough. USPS, SpeeDee, FedEx, or Freight carrier from now on. NO UPS.
My grandson is in Scouts, and 'Brown" can keep it to themselves.
they should have only considered signatures from businesses that are subscribed users of their shipping services, not idiots that only get packages from them.....Fed-ex works.
Every morning when I wake up; I marvel that G-d Almighty has not wiped this nation from the face of the earth...Lot must still be here...somewhere. :-)
More blunt to be sure. Supporting homosexuality is akin to supporting a virus, and literally as well, with over half a million dead from AIDS, primarily due to that, and then heterosexual promiscuity and the typical homosexual lifestyle resulting in a greatly increased incidence of infectious diseases and premature death. And these are only more manifest effects.
What would be the reaction if a consensual practice such as taking part in the Lord’s supper resulted in the same?
Indeed, and the fact that we have another day to serve the Lord, which something believers in Christ will get to do forever, (Rv. 22:3) should gladden our hearts.
But i would not be unduly hard on Lot, but consider him in context and compare him with what you see today.
Yes, he comes across as a weak believer with little authority, and choosing to stay in Sodom weighs against him, and offering his two daughters to the lustful Sodomites out of love for the brethren is certainly troublesome, and getting drunk, even after losing everything he had, is still inexcusable,
Yet the man was grieved by the iniquity of Sodom, and refused to let the brethren abide in street, but constrained them to accept his hospitality, and risked his own life in their defense, and had two virgin daughters and the rest were married in the midst of a city given to fornication. And he did pray and ask God for permission.
Compare that with today, in which most “Christians” would not offer or even want another believer to stay with them for one night, let alone risk their life for them, and i think few have virgin daughters of marriageable age, at least in major cities, and some daughters are living in sin rather than marry.
Again, while his sins cannot be excused, love does cover a multitude of sins, and if i was a poor Christian stranger stranger in a strange hostile city i would rather meet a Lot then the typical Christian whose charity is largely superficial, not sacrificial.
