The Lockheed Martin Corp. is cutting ties with the Boy Scouts of America because the group does not allow gay Scout leaders, officials told the MDJ on Wednesday.

“While we applaud the mission of the Boy Scouts and the good things they do in our communities, their policies that discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation and religious affiliation conflict with Lockheed Martin policies,” said Lockheed spokesman Gordon Johndroe.

The reference to “religious affiliation” has to do with the Boy Scouts’ ban on atheist members.

No facility tours for the kids either. Total lock-out. The local Dems are delighted (see article).

[Fido969]

To heck with them. It’s more important that they support buggery than to provide a supporting environment for boys to grow up in.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I didn’t realize Lockhead Martin had that many sexual deviants working there. Just wow!

[PhiloBedo]

I thought the BSA vote to allow queers? Maybe that was in the ranks and not the leaders?

[US Navy Vet]

Now we know WHY the “F-35” in SO SWIVED UP! “Lockheed” is SWIVED UP!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Lockhead. Lockheed.

[Oliviaforever]

Time to add Lockheed Martin Corp to the boycott list.

[dainbramaged]

To quote Vince Lombardi: What the hell is going on around here?

[jtal]

wait you mean they aren’t satisfied with the cave-in to allow homosexual scouts but not leaders?

i’m shocked! (not)

[napscoordinator]

Time to add Lockheed Martin Corp to the boycott list.

lol. I understand your intent, but what on Earth can we boycott there?

[thorvaldr]

Lockheed needs to get a bunch of gay men and then send all their children out in the woods with them.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Time to add Lockheed Martin Corp to the boycott list.

Now who am I going to buy my fighter planes from?

[BenLurkin]

Who in their right mind would send their kid camping with a man who is openly deviant?

[skinkinthegrass]

so Lockheed supports Buggery, eh?
just another US Corporate supporter of it?

“While we applaud the mission of the Boy Scouts and the good things they do in our communities, their policies that discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation and religious affiliation conflict with Lockheed Martin policies,” said Lockheed spokesman Gordon Johndroe.

Before he was spokesman for Lockheed, this guy was Obama's deputy press secretary.

Surprise!

[Red Steel]

That explains it.

I thought the BSA vote to allow queers? Maybe that was in the ranks and not the leaders?

Yes. The kids can be Scouts but the BSA doesn't permit gay troop leaders...yet. Once the current gay Scouts are old enough to be troop leaders, that will change. It's an incremental process.

Meanwhile, Lockheed is attempting to look 'progressive' to it's politician friends in Washington that give Lockheed big contracts.

[Carl Vehse]

Lockheed Martin has a lot of government contracts. And if Lockheed executives and the BOD weren’t already aware of how much the government was buttering their bread, you can be sure someone pointed that out to them.

[sickoflibs]

This sounds Defence Department related.

They are pushing gay diversity to their contractors.
