I would argue the contrary, money talks.

How many conservatives actually ATTEND the shareholder meetings?

Attend the meetings, force a vote.

Time for forget Disney. They have forgotten what the Bible says; “Male and female, he created them.”

“Because Disney is engaged in a form of blackmail to further the homosexual agenda, they deserve to get bashed. Regardless of who it is, the purpose of these actions by Disney, Lockheed and many other corporations is to force the BSA’s hand and permit adult homosexual leaders...if they succeed with the BSA, who else will they succeed with?”

Even the word blackmail may understate this situation as it is actually philanthropic terrorism where a large longtime donor denies established funding to a group in an attempt to force anti Christian and anti family dictates on a Christian organization in an effort to impose change.

Sure thing. I was not in the minority opinion as to LM (lack of) ethics. That group includes other LM employees, sub contracts, and government. LM is about the money; screw everyone and everything else.

I will give them this much: they pay well, and if you are in their "clique", you will do well. But if you have a dissenting opinion that calls into question their ethics and accountability, then you are an asshole that needs to go.

Again, I was not unique in my assessment. Worst management ever.

Just for the record, although the BSA may have began as a Christian organization, it eschewed that in later years due to being viewed as hostile or insensitive to other faiths.

BSA and Scouting in general wanted boys of all faiths, creeds, origin, etc. to participate. All that was required in the past few decades was a belief in a higher being to meet the reverent component/requirement in Scouting.

“Philanthropic terrorism”...I wonder though...since I know the BSA has decided to go down this road themselves, they didn’t go far enough to satiate the wolves.

Well, yes, money talks I don’t think I said anything to the contrary...do you stay with them and attend shareholder meetings to attempt to force change, or do you withdraw your funds and find alternatives?

That’s a personal decision.

Of course it does.
I’m worrying about nothing.
I need to stop hating on homosexuals and mind my own business.
How silly of me.
Forget I mentioned it.

We know that..... priests are the worst organizational pedophiles but there in no irrational criticism of the Roman Catholic Church

I am not going to engage about the RCC they have their own problems.

And I suspect that once the BSA goes in all the way with the homo agenda, they will see some of the same, except the BSA will then be a “favored son” buy the LGBT crowd and I’ll bet a dollar to a donut that many, if not all the abuse cases from then on will be quietly dealt with, it at all. It won’t fit the agenda to do otherwise.

...and criticizing the BSA for this decision is “irrational”? How so?

And the backhanded slap (critics are irrational) at those who aren’t in bed with the BSA and their decision is noted.

Last time my family went to a Disney theme park was 2004.

I think the next time may be 2024.

Just as they’re demonstrating their depravity by this act, I’ll demonstrate my righteousness by refusing to EVER give them another cent.

Or should I type more slowly?

...ah, cleverness in a miffed riposte...though slower typing is good if its aids in the laudable process of clarity...

Considering the low trash that Disney provides the culture, it makes sense that the BSA, and any other decent organization, would dump it.

I worked at The Tragic Kingdom in the 90’s. The male cast members in the parades were pretty much 100% homosexual. In order to save time, they had tent-like structures mounted on trailers, just off of the parade routes, backstage, in order to change costumes, without having to walk several hundred yards to the costuming building. A gal I knew was in the costuming department, and said that more than once, she would go into one of the tents to bring in clean, and remove dirty costumes, and find a couple of the boys having their wicked way. Even worse, they would look at her, when the tent flap opened, and then go back to their business, as if she wasn’t even there.

A few years later, I saw one of my pals, from Security, near the trailer tents. I remarked to him that it seemed to be an odd post to man. He confided that it was his job to make sure none of the cast members brought guests back with them, to join in their ‘group’.

That was over a dozen years ago, can’t imagine what it’s like, nowadays :(

The Mouse Monolith vs. the BSA
#5.1, by AZMike

"I guess the next step for the Mouse would be to immediately stop the sale of all DVDs of FOLLOW ME BOYS and order the original masters destroyed at high noon on Main Street in Disneyland, to prevent the unfortunate misapprehension by the public that the Disney Corporation ever considered the BSA to be an organization that was ever in any way moral or worthy of support, and to then donate an amount equal to all past revenues from sales of the property to whatever LGBTQQ political action committee most loudly applauds their corporate decision, then to ruthlessly Photoshop Fred MacMurray and Kurt Russell out of any production photos taken with Walt Disney in the Disney archives, Oldschool Stalinist-style. ..."

Given that homos are about 3-5% of the population, just why are they seemingly “everywhere”?
