The GSA has been fully-infiltrated and is well-controlled by them, judging by what I’ve heard from former GSA members, and seen on a local level.

Leftist rags such as the Washington Post never stop their attempts to foster the queening of America.

The Boy Scouts have every right to exclude those who do not conform to the longstanding tenets of the organization. Calling it 'discrimination' to bar homosexuals from the Scouts is the height of irony when it's painfully obvious why the ban is in place. For atheists, an organization that puts God in the forefront of it's creed would seem to be a place they would never feel comfortable. That the left keeps pushing the Boy Scouts to abandon their own sensible rules for admission and uses the lame 'discrimination' argument while castigating the group all the while simply indicates that they are determined to destroy this fine organization that has done so much good for so many boys over the past 100 years. Obviously, that, alone, is reason enough for the left to despise it and do everything they can to infiltrate and destroy it. I'm confident that, despite a few wimpy board members poor decision, They will fail.

(MAJOR SARCASM ALERT!) We have it on good authority that the Boy Scouts are being pushed by Kevin Jennings to add this new and distinctive badge to the Scout program:

The only thing sadder than this development is that this sort of crap no longer makes enough folks angry!

"Does the girls scouts allow homosexuals as well?"

Unfortunately, they caved several years ago. I don't understand why they think it's a good idea to let Sandusky types lead their children...

“Once you admit you were wrong (even a little bit) you have forfeited your defense.”

I saw this same BS when John Paul II yielded on “altar girls”; he left it in the hands of the individual bishops (in an environment where no bishop could survive long without allowing them). I remember when the last bishop that didn’t allow them retired; I believe it is now in 100% of American dioceses, and there is NO WAY to turn that back. These little “priestesses-in-training” are here to stay; no wonder that outside of a few small factions, vocations are down and we are importing foreign clergy/religious. At this point those small factions are the last True Church, and FReepers and other factions will be the last True Americans.

“Do the girls scouts allow homosexuals as well?”

Their creepy silence during this whole debate indicated to me early on that they certainly do (otherwise they would have been targeted). In my area these issues are moot because the scouts (both groups) are quickly disappearing, selling off land and merging groups.
