The Lockheed Martin Corp. is cutting ties with the Boy Scouts of America because the group does not allow gay Scout leaders, officials told the MDJ on Wednesday.
“While we applaud the mission of the Boy Scouts and the good things they do in our communities, their policies that discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation and religious affiliation conflict with Lockheed Martin policies,” said Lockheed spokesman Gordon Johndroe.
The reference to “religious affiliation” has to do with the Boy Scouts’ ban on atheist members.

Mitt Romney was an early supporter of gay Scout leaders, and took action against the scouts, when he was head of the Winter Olympics.
CRONY CAPITALISM at WORK!!!!
Wonder where he got that phoney name “Johndroe” ?
Time to shame Lockheed.
Obama is just like a giant abcess leaking puss into everything.
He needs IMPEACHMENT!!!
“Evolve” or die! LOL!
Another example of the gay agenda targeting children. There are so many of them that the conclusion is obvious: they won’t be happy until they’re allowed to rape them.
“Time to add Lockheed Martin Corp to the boycott list.”
You bet! I’m cancelling my order for a fighter, and sending back my FLIR pod I got for my pickup.
“Gordon Johndroe worked on the Bush campaign in 2000 and served in the Bush administration for all eight years, ending his tenure as spokesman for the National Security Council. He didn’t come out publicly until after he left politics, and now works in the private sector for the consulting firm APCO Worldwide.”
Johndroe himself is a buttboy. See above. Boy have we been HAD. From ROmney to Bush to Obama. Do you see a pattern in all the crap we are suffering under right now???
Unfortunately, my daughter is an engineer working for Lockheed Martin.
Is she in Marietta? If so, she can still contribute to the Boy Scouts when the United Way comes calling.
“One of United Way of Greater Atlanta’s key areas of investment is providing safe after school and leadership activities for youth, particularly those at risk. This year, our United Way volunteer leaders have chosen to continue investing in Boy Scout programs. These volunteers, from all walks of life, grapple with difficult decisions about where best to invest contributions each year. They believe that thousands of local boys—including hard-to-reach, low income, t-risk youth—greatly benefit from the Boys Scouts proven record of safe, structured after-school programs that foster self-esteem, build discipline and teach personal responsibility. United Way of Greater Atlanta funds the Boy Scouts because they provide a variety of programs that help us reach one of our main goals focused on educational opportunities for youth.
“In addition, the Atlanta Area Council Boys Scouts, Boy Scouts Flint River Council, and Boy Scouts Northeast Georgia Council meet United Way of Greater Atlanta’s standard of accountability and eligibility and therefore continue to receive funding. Donors to United Way may specify that gifts be designated in whole or in part for the Boy Scouts. Donors may also specify that no portion of their United Way contribution go to funding for the Scouts. We recognize that the debate regarding Boy Scouts, both locally and nationally, continues. United Way volunteers continue to monitor the situation to ensure that programming remains consistent with United Way’s philosophy.”
And before THAT he worked under Bush II!!!
Wonder if he got his start under Clinton or Bush I???
This is not Lockheed, this is a government contractor with a gun to its head.
I am angry.
What's the difference?
I know it was tough to do, but good on ya and the other fellas who came along!
Pink Mafia’s really trying to take em’ out this week.
Well, the truth’s the truth.
The bowels were designed by their Creator for ‘exit only’...No matter how they attempt to elevate this sin/deviancy.
(WARNING: Graphic content)
“...Sexual transmission of some of these diseases is so rare in the exclusively heterosexual population as to be virtually unknown...”

A years-long case against Lockheed Martin Corp., alleging a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to its 401(k) plan, is being permitted to proceed as a class action.
The suit has been filed on the behalf of more than 100,000 employees and retirees at Lockheed, which has a 401(k) plan with more than $20 billion in assets.
A longer timeframe for this perverted termite to undermine Christian America.
Good point.
Palo Alto, Ecuador, Japan, etc.
She's never been near Marietta.
Exactly...live by the corporate dollar, die by the corporate dollar. I no longer shed any tears for the BSA. They made their bed, they can sleep in it.
When the BSA got in bed with organizations and companies promoting and pushing the diversity and inclusion nonsense, what, exactly did they think (did they think?) was going to happen?
Not only that, but the BSA has been complicit in perpetrating the diversity and inclusion nonsense through their Wood Badge training program...it is a mandatory component in order to fully “graduate” and get one’s beads.
In reality though, in my waning months with the BSA, I have come to see that the organization is a shell of its former self. There are no leaders at the National, Regional or Council level. Just a bunch of lying sycophants intent on maximizing their pay.
My resignation from the BSA is effective 1 Aug, 2014. Only because I’m part of Philmont crew and we were committed before the decision was made.
GA FReeper ping.
I expect they’re still a pretty major metro area employer. And locally they were obviously still doing a lot for the Boy Scouts, from reading the article.
You have to wonder if this came down from on high internally at LMC, or if they were getting pressure from the Undersecretary of Diversity at DoD. Obama’s gay mafia could certainly have been at work behind the scenes.
Come to the YMCA!
Well, that confirms my speculation in my post just above.
