Intel pulls funds from Boy Scouts over policy barring gay scouts and leaders

The Boy Scouts of America has lost one of it's biggest corporate donors, Intel, who announced Sunday they will no longer fund the organization until gay Scouts and leaders are welcome within the organization.

Eagle Scout Zach Wahls, founder of Scouts for Equality, launched a campaign urging Intel to pull funding from the Boy Scouts after a report revealed the company gave nearly $700,000 to the Boy Scouts in 2010.

"Intel made the right decision here, in order to live up to their corporate values of diversity, equality and individual liberty," said Wahls. "Companies that support the LGBT community simply can't be in the business of funding organizations that discriminate.

In a statement released Friday, Intel's Chief Diversity Officer, Rosalind Hudnell, said that the company could no longer fund the Boy Scouts of America, so long as the Scouts stand by their long-held policy barring gay troops and leaders from participating in the organization.

Intel is one of the largest employers in the Valley.

That is a GREAT idea! CFA could more than make up the difference.

Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg,so many Silicon Valley types are social liberals, baby-killing, marriage-destroying libertines.

I don’t see any problem with Intel pulling their support unless the Boy Scouts allow gays in. As long as Intel will also pay for the lawsuits filed by the parents and counseling needed by the boy scouts that get molested on their camping trips out in the deep woods where no one can hear them scream.

Hudnell has received numerous awards, including Black Engineer of the Year for Corporate Promotion of Education . . .

The competition for that one must have been stiff.

I'm in no hurry to buy anything. AMD has a potential new customer. There is still time to step in it.

Agreed. Perhaps Intel has decided to plug make jacks together.

Care to recommend some AMD chipsets around 100.00? I see a lot here http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/guidedSearch.asp?CatId=22&cm_sp=Masthead-_-Computer%20Parts-_-Spot%2005

Many of us sending CFA a note suggesting this might get them to step up.

At a Girl Scout conference at the UN, they found PP booklets that even encouraged kids NOT to disclose if they have HIV/AIDS to their partners if they didn’t feel like it.

To clarify, that was and is my desire also as regards a future Desktop, but after doing research, it seems that AMD has been left behind in comparable speed, power consumption etc for cost, at least for Desktops. Perhaps AMD will also follow the party line, but i hope not.
