This is just what the Gay mafia wanted to happen. The BSA took the bait. Now they will be pressured even more to allow gay scoutmasters and that will be the end of that.

Yup, even their policy change wasn’t enough to satisfy gay friendly corporate American.

I recall how incredulous I was when the Gay mafia first started picking on the Boy Scouts. It just seemed an absurdity to me. I was naive enough to think that people would side with the Boy Scouts—guess I don’t know this country as well as I though I did.

I thought they went gay because of financial fallout. Maybe they should find their moral compass and stick to it.

We warned them. They didn’t listen. A&E is about to learn as well.

I just saw that Lockheed Martin was withdrawing its’ financial support form the BSA because of their views on homosexuality and it is no longer in keeping with their core values of Diversity. So, which is it?

“When you look at straight contributions through our Friends of Scouting Campaign, we are behind 15 percent,”

What about gay contributions?

I guess the Gay Mafia better start writing checks. If not, the BSA is finished.

Leftists are still hating on the BSA because they won’t let gay scout masters take the kids to the woods overnight.

The left’s assault on the scouts has been going on for years. I will never forget the 2000 DNC in Los Angeles (Al Gore) when the delegates booed scouts saying the pledge of allegiance. Pathetic Marxist’s.

I don’t know.

When BSA National announced they were going PINK, I left Scouting.

“Our focus is to get off the politics and get on serving young people.”

AKA - molesting them.

Don’t buy their crap.

I can’t support them because they caved on the queer and religious issue for their scouts. Now, progressive companies like Lockheed are withdrawing support due to their continued refusal to allow gay or athiest scout leaders, so they get it coming and going.

Lockheed cut out their payments to the scouts today. They said they wouldn’t contribute to an organization that discriminates against adult sexual deviants.

I wonder. Would Lockheed-Martin insist that adult men have a right to be Girl Scout Leaders?

I notice that the national organization is being very evasive about how much of a financial hit they have taken. I would really enjoy seeing a dollar amount.

While their corporate sponsors on the executive committee might agree to make up for millions of dollars of shortfalls for a year or two, they were only in it for the agenda, and once that fades from the headlines, the BSA can go fish.

It’s not about the boys. It was never about the boys. It was about leftist corporations who wanted the organization to change.

Last Monday, I wore my Scoutmaster uniform for the last time. Come January, I will be Troopmaster of a Trail Life USA troop.

It’s a far better fit.
