The first thing these scouts need to be taught is how to move out of Fast Eddies whorehouse, otherwise known as Philthadelphia, and move to a town where at least the sports teams don’t suck quite so bad.

Put a convicted gay pedophile on the Roster, and the City will be Happy.
The politicians know that is not an option. I belive that ultimately this case is simply about money and not some high minded idealism.

The Boy Scouts ought to pass the hat ‘round for their legal bills. I bet there are alot of ex-Scouts like me with ten bucks for a good cause. Even better they should persue a judgement that forces the city of Philadelphia to reimburse them for all legal expenses. The city reneged on their contract with the Boy Scouts.

Unfortunately, the Girl Scouts are now an “inclusive” group, meaning they are happy to have lesbians on their national staff and as troop leaders. That’s why you won’t see them persecuted as the Boy Scouts have been.

What is the Fair Market Value of this Beautiful landmark Building?? If tthe City wants to opt out of its agreement with the Boy Scouts, then the City must pay the Boy Scouts the full value of the property today as opposed to forcing the full rental lease the gay liberals demand.

All this case has EVER been about is homosexuals peeved at the Scouts and wanting revenge as well as a legal precedent they can use in future, similar cases. It may be cloaked in different words, but that's the bottom line.

Ever notice that this is another continuing problem that the GOP never talks about?

My understanding is that it is up to the local counsels whether they go along with that or not, that it is not mandatory. I could be wrong, but that has been my understand for the 3 years my daughter has been in GS.

“...the fact remains that the city currently owns the building.”
No. The fact is that the city owns the dirt under the building.
To: Dawnsblood
Good for the Scouts. I hope they kick the city’s ass in court.

"Mr. Mayor, why do you hate Boy Scouts? Are you going to do this to Girl Scouts too???" As an organization the Girl Scouts have chosen not to exclude people from membership or leadership based on sexual orientation.
To: y6162
Philadelphia is violating the Scouts constitutional right to association which the SOTUS already established. Philly officials should go to jail. Not at all. The Scouts are free to continue restricting their membership. Philly is saying that they just need to do it in another building.
To: VeniVidiVici
Shazam! Are we not surprised that the author of the hit piece didnt bother to mention the circumstances and terms under which the city agreed to rent IN PERPETUITY the location for a dollar per year? Ya, right. Whats a contract to a Democrat? There is no contract and no lease, otherwise the Scouts could be fighting that out in court and probably winning. There was a verbal agreement, which is unenforceable.
To: Non-Sequitur
The idea is to make the Mayor or whoever shrink in front of the cameras, as liberals do to Republican politicians.

I was going to suggest Kansas City, seeing as how we're in America's heartland and all. But then you threw in that requirement about the sports teams

Ok. I guess with a little research we could find another private organization with restrictive membership using a public building in Philly...say the girl scouts?
