Walt Disney World has jumped on the bandwagon of businesses pulling their funding from Boy Scouts of America, as the organization still refuses to end its ban on openly LGBT adults.

Disney went to hell with Walt died.
Walt Disney was a devout Congregationalist Christian.

See what happens when you give in. You end up alienating your supporters, and those for pushed for change, it still isn’t enough....then you’re left with no support at all.
BSA made their bed when they decided to pursue the corporate dollar and were then made dependent upon the crack that is “easy money” because they expanded their “professional” ranks.
But there were strings attached, positions on the National Board...influence from corporations pursuing the politically correct dogma of the day, influencing the program down to it’s lowest level...
And here, ladies and gentlemen, is the result of an organization compromising it’s values through poor management and leadership...for money.
The BSA is reaping the whirlwind of what they have sown...unfortunately, the boys are the ones who are made to pay the price of adults acting stupidly, as is almost always the case.
