Boys scouts need to be straight. Not only do they need to be straight, they also need to be Christian.
I doubt they outly deny the fact that gay guys can do scouting, but its a funny clip -and a good episode of the shoe…rather I’m assuming the reason they needs to be straight is because being gay doesn’t following biblical rule. Even after being publically called out on it and facing pretty huge reprecautions in some cities there was still no change in the standards of the group.
“It’s disappointing, and it’s certainly a threat,” said Jeff Jubelirer, a spokesman for Cradle of Liberty Council, referring to the rent’s impact on the scouts’ chances of staying on the site.
Jubelirer said that $200,000 a year in rent “would have to come from programs. That’s 30 new Cub Scout packs, or 800 needy kids going to our summer camp.”
Nevertheless, Jubelirer said, scouting officials will ask City Solicitor Romulo L. Diaz Jr. for details on the real estate appraisals that yielded the $200,000 rent figure.
Cradle of Liberty officials have said they could not renounce the scouts’ long-established policy of not opening membership to atheists or openly gay people without running afoul of their charter with the scouts’ National Council.
Well, maybe make it a group that all young boys can join and then we’ll care about your issues. They have to be Christian because that’s where morality stems from… or so they say. (This happens to be my current biggest pet peeve - the notion that in need to have morals you need to have god. It upsets me.)
Anyway, so they have a straight and moral group. I guess that’s pretty good, I’ll let them do their thing.
Oh…
err….
but…
A 15 year old scout goes ape shit and kills his entire family.
Nicholas W. Browning remained jailed without bond after confessing early Sunday that he killed his father, John Browning, his mother, Tamara, and his younger brothers, Gregory, 14, and Benjamin, 11, according to Baltimore County police.
His father was a highly regarded business attorney, and the family lived in an affluent suburb. Browning played golf and lacrosse, was active in his church and was close to becoming an Eagle Scout.
Huh. Does killing your entire family count as being moral? I wonder if they’ll let him keep all his badges.
I’m not done.
Scout LEADER is California is accused of molesting boys.
A scout leader who once sued the City of Berkeley for challenging a national Boy Scout ban on members who are gay or atheist has been arrested on felony charges that for at least five years he sexually abused young males in the troops he led.
I think that counts as homosexuality AND lack or morality - but what do I know about morals, I’m just an atheist. Seriously, boys can learn some great things from boy scouts, how to camp, have fun etc… I think it’s a great idea to have a group like that for boys. I just wish it wasn’t full of hypocrites, people who discriminate against a boys sexual preference and their religion. I can only imagine the number of boys who are feeling homosexual urges but are repressing them as to stay in the group, to remain “part of them”… it’s sad.
I hope that one day the boy scouts open up their arms and becoming a little less judging and ridiculous so that all boys who want to be a part, can be.
