I missed this earlier. Looks like the LAPD is kicking the Boy Scouts out.

My guess is one the initial publicity dies down, they're going to be very sorry they did this.
The BSA organization offers a tremendous amount of support to the Explorer posts and Venture crews. They don't realize exactly how much . . . but they will soon.
My prediction is this program will just fade away. Besides, how many parents are going to trust their 14-21 year old boys to a "gay-friendly" program? Talk about ASKING for trouble . . . .

Don't even want to think about it.
If they're smart, they'll keep the extensive BSA rules designed to prevent sexual contact -- two leaders present at all times, no unrelated individuals sleeping in the same tent, etc.
But I don't think they're that smart. They're cruising for a lawsuit.

How can they afford this? From everything I read, the state is practically bankrupt.

Disgusting. They arrest child molesters/porn traders, and then welcome gays with open arms. I don’t think God will make a distinction come judgment day. Both are grievous sins to Him and he is revolted at the sight of both.
Hypocrites. All of them.
To: Maelstorm
So the LAPD is going to do to the BSA what they accuse the BSA of doing: discrimination.
See? Libs can't see two inches in front of them. Point out the hypocrisy of this and they will petulantly shout out, "So the now the BSA knows what it feels like!", thereby proving that they really don't care about discrimination (depending on who it is that's discriminated against) and really are hypocrites, or that they are too stupid to get beyond anything that requires more brain power than 2+2.

The Scouts or the Gay Scouts. Hmmm. I wonder where I would choose to send my son.

I was going to suggest the “Wood Sprites”, but since it law enforcement oriented, maybe the “Donut Holers”?

Can anyone here say,
"I'm open-minded, so I want to send my inquisitive son to assist the strong officer in doing brawny police stuff in the cruiser tonight..." ????
That's what I thought...!

Gee, from Dragnet and Boys Beware to this.
The LAPD is really sucking eggs, moral compass-wise.
To hell with them.

Yes, it’s fairly obvious that the LAPD will not be able to prevent the new program from being informally called “the Gay Scouts” (just try and censor kids’ speech and watch where that gets you), and inevitably those who join will be stigmatized with that label or similar.
