They are forced to allow homosexuals and then when something happens sue them for it.

A once great organization and American institution targeted and destroyed by the leftist radical homosexual movement.

How homophobic to suggest queers shouldn’t be around impressionable young males. The faggots just want to teach your sons the error of their hetero ways and the joy of being gay.

I recall in the mid-60's when our Troop leadership transitioned from married fathers of active scouts to single guys.
Not aware of active abuse, but encouraging skinny dipping.

The lawyers ads on the internet aggressively seeking clients to file sexual abuse lawsuits give a taste of what lies ahead this year for the Boy Scouts of America Call attorneys Dewe, Cheatem and Howe for your chance at your pound of flesh.
The blood is in the water and the sharks are circling.

B..Bu...But I thought once they started letting in girls & homos everyone would start liking them and the establishment would start protecting them.
So what gives?

Yeah, but the idiotic liberals in America will do what they always do, viz. continue to lie to themselves that all is well. And America has so many liberals, that the BSA (or, FSA?) will always continue.
Savage is right.

Yes, it will be destroyed. I have no idea if it’s warranted or not considering I haven’t heard any defense to date.

I used to be a Boy Scout. I was not a good Boy Scout, but for at least four years it was part of my life, and I appreciated what I learned from it, and the experiences that I had.
I would occasionally support it with money.
But when they went all in on full acceptance of homosexuality, that was it for me. No more.
What makes this all the more bitter is that this is EXACTLY what the Left had in mind when pressuring the BSA to fully accept open homosexuality.
They KNEW it was a poison pill. They knew the host of abuse lawsuits that would ensue. It was a win-win for them. They get more acceptance and endorsement of open homosexuality, and at the same time, destroy a male-only organization.
Never mind it was a constructive organization that taught many life skills to boys that would serve them and society well as they grew into men. That was far less important than advancing homosexuality, and destroying a “male patriarchy” and making men even weaker in the end.
They managed to destroy marriage, fathers in children’s lives, and the BSA.
How I despise the Left and all they stand for.

This has been going on for awhile. It seems to me that they were not forced to accept homosexuals, but had always had them, just a little more quietly. Now they get to do what they want openly and brazenly.

"...Boy Scouts / Girl Scouts..."
Was life so darned difficult when Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts could hang with each other while Brownies and Girl Scouts could do the same?
Good grief...a storied American institution and a wonderful innocence totally lost. Thanks, libs!

Yes, it will be destroyed. The writing was on the wall when the BSA joined the United Way.
The United Way is a Leftist organization that corrupts all it touches.
The United Way forced the BSA to accept gay scouts and gay scout masters.
He who pays the piper calls the tune.

They weren’t forced to admit homosexuals. They won in court and then caved, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, as weak-kneed Republicans do continually. They deserve to be sued into oblivion. Good riddance to them.
