This is patently false. The Boy Scouts do not have a gay pride merit badge. There are many good reasons to oppose the BSA's recent actions to allow self-identified gays under 18 to become members. There is reason to be concerned that this action may in the future lead to other more extreme policy changes.
However, it is counterproductive to conservative causes to state incorrect information like that. Myself and many others look to this site for information we can use to inform others in everyday conversation, and if we end up citing information that is just plain false, it reflects badly on the conservative cause.
It is true that the BSA does not have such a badge, but there is a group that offers such a merit badge for Scouts - from a pro-gay group called Scouting for All. Also, the Boston-area council tried in 2002 to create a "diversity" merit badge that included a homosexual component. (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/699745/posts). I don't know if they were ever disciplined by the national BSA or not.
You know, I do think I’m mixing this up with the global warming merit badge. I don’t often make these types of mistakes, by the way. It’s better if I can be caught early doing it. But we know there is an agenda that is being pushed into the Boy Scouts with both these issues.
