Lesbian Cub Leader Fired for Being Gay, Fights Boy Scouts
ABC News ^ | 4-25-12 | SUSAN DONALDSON JAMES

Posted on 04/25/2012 10:17:36 AM PDT by Houmatt

Jennifer Tyrrell, the den leader who was "fired" by her local Cub Scout troop for being gay, said that her 7-year-old son Cruz will not remain in the national organization because of its discrimination against gay leaders and scouts.

In March, the Boy Scouts of America removed Tyrrell from her position, telling her that her sexual orientation "did not meet the high standards" of conduct set by the Boy Scouts of America

"We can no longer support an organization that has these policies and we hope to get them changed," said Tyrrell. "That is our main goal."

Since lesbianism is a choice, she can choose when she wants to be a lesbian and when she doesn’t.

“We can no longer support an organization that has these policies...”

###

Then don’t.

Property Rights 101.

Start your OWN PRIVATE organization, say the PervertScouts, and forbid NORMALS from joining.

Problem solved.

If she pulled her son out of boy scouts, and no longer supports the organization, why does she feel the need to change the organization?! I pulled my daughter out if girl scouts, and no longer support them, but then I just found an organization that fit our lifestyle. Aren’t there groups for gay scouts? Or... He can join girl scouts

“The “No adult alone with a Scout” rule protects the Scouts, not the “No Gays” rule.”

So you’d want your son to go overnight camping with gay Scoutmasters, as long as there were TWO gays?

Really?

Her whole goal was to cause trouble. That was her goal all along. She knew the BSA standards and knew she didn’t meet them but got involved anyways - on purpose.

I think Appy meant the "No G-ys" rule was not the exclusive reason. Rather, "No adults" included no queers.

In the article it mentions that the BSA won a lawsuit allowing them to exclude gays by a 5-4 supreme court decision. What type of country are we “nearly” living in when a private organization has to accept members it is opposed to letting in?

For all those who don’t want to vote for Mitt, your victory will ring a bit hollow if Obama gets to nominate another justice.

Personally, I don’t understand why a large part of the populace even thinks they (as in We the People) have the right to dictate to the BSA who they let in. I don’t even know how to talk to the other side because I can’t figure out how they think.

It’s easy, you are talking to people who believe they are morally superior to you and their morals only require them to tolerate people who think like they do. Their motto is “we tolerate the tolerant, but we will not tolerate the intolerant.”

It begs the question what makes them so special to determine who should be tolerated and who shouldn’t. Where do they get their authority over us?

Actually, it is not that hard to figure out.

Everything that is just, everything that is moral, everything that is pure, everything that is righteous must be destroyed.

Which goes a long way to explain why they are so interested in our kids.

Other than simply wanting to boff them, of course.

She knew the rules when she joined, just another pos agitator trying to tear the BSA down.

I don't believe that is the way they think.

I believe that they try to draw everyone else down to their level, so they can justify their own behavior.

Maybe there isn't that much difference between what you said and what I said. The bottom is the bottom, eh?

Only in the way that, from a purely psychological standpoint, they really are not proud or happy to be living in the world they have made for themselves. So to feel better, they feel it necessary to make everyone accept them.

Why do you think they have such a hissy fit if you have the audacity to simply disagree?

Don't let the door hit you or your son on the way out.

Girl Scouts are just down the road.

The whole troop or just the "den"? (It's the cub scouts)

If the whole troop, then the BSA should disenfranchise the troop number.

All she has to do is dress her son in girl’s clothes and claim he’s a transgender and the GS will let him in. They’ve already done that. Not that I want her poor kid to get mentally twisted but I’m sure he is already.

Call the national headquarters NOW at 972-580-2000 and tell them you support them and to not be bullied by these perverts and their morally vacuous allies.

ACTUALLY, the problem is with people who promote the flawed proposition that "moral issues" do not matter 'right now' or that [these] issues are best left to the States e.g. hold your nose and vote for another morally spineless RINO!

Here we are discussing another one of those 'moral issues', principle that supposedly do not matter YET there are posters here that they matter much too; posters that take the time to tell some to SHUT UP about it already -STOP bring up those pesky "moral issues"...

WELL...

Here is something paraphrased that I recently posted to another persistent promoter of unimportance and no principles necessary except those THEY feel are important.

There is a fight for the soul of our Republic, the fight IS at the federal level and some suggest we win by retreating to the States e.g. State's Rights -what next, retreating to the towns, then retreating to our places of worship and finally retreating our homes? We should retreat and wait -when will YOU RINOs wake up to what is going on?

We conservatives must succeed if our country is to survive and success is NOT about retreat and compromise! What worked for Reagan was promoting a correct understanding of what it means to be a Republic and what limited government is all about (not JUST a balanced budget); but a principled position, a clarion call that our primary goal as patriots is to defend the people against the encroachments of big government.

If the advocates of the homosexual agenda want to use and expand the power of the government at the federal level to impose the normalcy of homosexual sex upon the people and we proclaim we represent those that defend against this, WE WILL WIN at the polls and we will return our country back to the people! However, if we continue to follow RINOs over the cliff or progressive political correctness the republic will be no more.
