Walt Disney World Stops Supporting Boy Scouts Over LGBT Discrimination
UPI ^ | Thursday, February 27, 2014 | Kris Guiliani

Walt Disney World has jumped on the bandwagon of businesses pulling their funding from Boy Scouts of America, as the organization still refuses to end its ban on openly LGBT adults.

Charitable contributions will no longer be made to BSA or local troops as part of Walt Disney World's "Ears For You" grant program.

SNIP

As the straight son of a lesbian couple, Wahls has been working to reverse the BSA's policies of discrimination and exclusion. Since its inception in 2012, Scouts for Equality has succeeded in influencing seven major corporations - including Lockheed Martin, Caterpillar, Major League Soccer, Merck, Intel, UPS and now Walt Disney World -- to end their sponsorship.

Disney is on the down side of the hill and gaining speed toward self destruction.

And the compromisers thought letting gay scouts in would end the furor. So, so naïve.

As a young lad, I had a truly wonderful time in Disneyland roughly 1960. I have no desire to take the grandkiddies there (but I will show them Mickey Mouse Club dvds.)

Not naive at all. Complicit and duplicitous. As is every other lesser evil proponent.

Pedophilia is a sexual orientation.

I just read that it now costs $100 dollars for a one day adult pass at Disney.
I have a good idea why and who they are trying to keep out but I also must ask Is Disney practicing discrimination over poor people wanting to visit their park?

The left always combines their stock portfolios when they are boycotting a business. They like to do institutional boycotting such as union money or some other large cache of money. We should do that do so that they will feel the punch.

What would be some traditional organization that could move their money from the sodomy supporting businesses? Do church groups go to Disney together? Do Christian colleges invest in stocks? Are there Christian investing groups?

That's okay. It's gonna cost 400 clams now just to get into The Magic Kingdom for hubby, wifey and two kids over 7.

So let Disney turn their parks into the Snow Lavender Kingdom.....and everyone stay away for a couple years. Let's see how the Disney profit and loss ledger will look then.

I agree about the higher. I’m talking about the locals.

As a joke and to make a point Christians should show up at the doors of these pro-sodomy businesses dressed as transexuals—men dressed as women, women dressed as men. This would make a great show on youtube.

Welcome to the future.

So am I. Without their active help or indifference, none of it could have happened at all.

I have to laugh. Did the BSA really think this thing would be finished by letting in openly homosexual Scouts?

Everyone knew it was just the first bite of the apple.....

I keep saying people of all over 18 ages and the older and more out of shape the better...should start dressing in full Bondage leather and latex at work and suing everyone that complains. It’s a hate crime by the current legal definition. They were born that way after all.

Seriously.

Not those around me. They really thought it would end once they showed they were open minded.

The BSA can shove it. Disney, too.

Let ‘em all rot.

Guess that does it for the wife and I ever returning to Disney.

And their movies.

Hey Disney, how about a new movie, “Pluto packs fudge”?
