Girl Scouts start new troop in ‘gay pride’ center, invite boys living as girls to join

SALT LAKE CITY, UT, April 17, 2015 (LifeSiteNews.com) -- The Girl Scouts are once again kicking up controversy with their “progressive” approach to sexuality, this time by starting a brand new troop aimed at gay and lesbian families and boys who consider themselves “transgender” – in other words, boys who believe they are girls trapped in biologically male bodies.

"As long as a youth identifies as a girl or with girls, even if they are genderfluid on the day that they registered, then they can become a Girl Scout," said Shari Solomon-Klebba, the Utah Girl Scout outreach coordinator responsible for Salt Lake City’s first sexuality-based troop, in an interview with KUTV.

The troop had its first meeting on Monday at the homosexual “Utah Pride Center” in socially conservative Salt Lake City – home of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (more frequently referred to as Mormonism), which has repeatedly clashed with gay activists over its traditional teachings on marriage and sexuality. 

KUTV reported that five children attended the meeting, all biological girls ranging from age 6 to 11.  They met in a “game room” at the Pride Center, where a box of condoms sat on the table and a nearby sign read: “Some boys have vaginas.”  (Pride Center director Sheila Raboy later told KUTV that leaving those items visible to the children was an “oversight.”  She said they would be hidden away during future meetings.)

Solomon-Klebba, an open lesbian who is raising a young daughter with her partner, Cindy – whom she “married” in Utah in December – told KUER she started the troop to help kids like her daughter avoid the emotional discomfort that being around traditional families can often cause them.

“Because sometimes, you know, that stigma of having parents that are a little bit different, you know, that fall outside of the norm. That can always be a little bit awkward,” Solomon-Klebba explained to KUER.

Utah Pride Center director Sheila Raboy agreed.  By joining a troop where non-traditional sexualities are the focus, she told the Associated Press, “these girls will be able to enjoy the Girl Scouts the way girls who are from regular, heterosexual families are able to enjoy it.”

Although no biological boys attended the troop’s first meeting, Raboy told the AP she expects some to join soon.  Currently, the troop is open to any child in Kindergarten through 12^th grade who “identifies” as a girl, regardless of biological sex.  

The troop’s leaders say that if the group grows, they will split it up into age-based groups, but until then, camping trips could prove controversial, as teenage boys and very young girls are both eligible to join.  According to the Girl Scouts’ website, situations in which biologically male Girl Scouts have tried to participate in camping trips are “rare,” and as such, there is no set policy regarding the matter.  Rather, the organization recommends local councils “[make] similar accommodation that schools across the country follow in regard to changing, sleeping arrangements, and other travel-related activities.”

The Utah Pride Center troop is believed to be the first of its kind to focus especially on the sexual preferences of its members and their families; however, it is not the first troop to accept transgender members.  A troop in Colorado was at the center of a nationwide controversy in 2011 after an adult leader, unaware of the organization’s national policy welcoming any child who “identifies” as a girl, refused to allow a 7-year-old boy named Bobby Montoya to join. The state leadership quickly stepped in to overrule the individual’s decision, but the publicity surrounding the case sparked boycotts and mass resignations, as many Girl Scouts and their families around the country had previously been unaware of the transgender policy and strongly opposed it.

According to the Girl Scouts’ website, “Placement of transgender youth is handled on a case-by-case basis, with the welfare and best interests of the child and the members of the troop/group in question a top priority. That said, if the child is recognized by the family and school/community as a girl and lives culturally as a girl, then Girl Scouts is an organization that can serve her in a setting that is both emotionally and physically safe.”

Natural laws learned over thousands of years were mocked, ridiculed, overturned, and even outlawed. Toward the end, homosexual drill sergeants prowled the barracks grooming receptive teenage recruits. Hey, we were told, it’s their business, and who are you to judge them? Later, they could get married in the post-interfaith worship center by a military spiritual advisor (“chapels” and “chaplains” having been purged from the lexicon for favoring the Christian faiths) and then move on to adopting children.

And finally, the last old-guard bunker to fall: the Boy Scouts, completing the cycle of government-approved sodomite corruption. For a century the Scouts were morally straight? According to whose definition of straight? So why shouldn’t adult homosexual Scout leaders share tents with teenagers in our brave new world? Don’t be a homophobe, we were told. Each child can make his or her own free choice about their gender identity, but now with helpful adult mentors to guide them along the formerly forbidden paths.

If it feels good, do it. Or have it done to you. Or even do it unto the little children. Tommy wants to become Tomasina before heading to kindergarten? Her brave new mommy agrees? A government-provided surgeon will perform the “gender reassignment” operation. And if kindergarten isn’t soon enough to put the kids on the unrepressed road to gender identification, then start them on Heather Has Two Mommies and Prince and Prince cartoon books in the government-subsidized day care centers.

Smiling experts assured us that we were merely throwing off the shackles of our repressed sexualities. Dissent is hate, and hate is not tolerated around here, mister, so shut up and get with the program. Well, I couldn’t get with the program, so I quit my public high school job. As a world history teacher, moving from a public school to a Christian academy (at less pay and fewer benefits) gave me a couple more years of insulation from the social wreckage cascading down.

I kept looking up for the big asteroid, but we didn’t need God to smite us from outer space. In the end, we smote ourselves with our hubris, believing that we were replacing God’s wisdom with our own. The proud decadence and in-your-face cultural perversions didn’t cause the Rupture, but they were surely flashing red signs warning that the end was near.

TRUE THAT!

[AppyPappy]

“biological girls “

Oh, that kind of vagina-centric thinking is so hurtful and exclusive. I need to go to my Safe Space.

[AppyPappy]

Oh! Our local school newspaper had to issue an apology for using the word “transgendered”.

[Da Coyote]

They’re toast.

D*mn, I’ll miss those cookies.

[Crazieman]

Transgendered is a bad word now?

[Crazieman]

I need a GD* STOCKTICKER to keep track of what is and is not permissible in PC-land.

[max americana]

And what are they supposed to be called now? Freaks?

[SECURE AMERICA]

even if they are genderfluid

What the HELL is that?
You can make up all the new words you want, you can shade it outright lie, whatever. Nothing will change the fact that this is a mental illness and you are abusing children with all this crap................

[AppyPappy]

Yes. The new proper word is “transgender”. Past Tense is hurtful

[DuncanWaring]

You’ve been micro-aggressed.

[George from New England]

Setup! Sham! It is not a coincidence they are doing this in Mormon country.

having an overlap of, or indefinite lines between, gender identity; having two or more genders (being bigender, trigender, or pangender); having no gender (being agender, nongendered, genderless, genderfree, or neutrois); moving between genders or having a fluctuating gender identity (genderfluid);

In plain English - Mental Illness...........

[longfellowsmuse]

Haven’t bought cookies in at least 4 years.

[Crazieman]

I ought to do that.

“Some boys have vaginas.”

If that is true, why is poop coming out of them?

This is really getting crazy.

[wagglebee]

With the exception of very rare DNA mutations a person is either born with a Y chromosome making them a male or without one making them a female.

It is just that simple. Wanting it to be different doesn't make it so any more than wanting a cobra to be nonpoisonous makes their bite safe.

Another day, another series of stories reflecting what a thoroughly demented nation America has become. A culture of pervs.
