I stopped giving money to them years ago. With prejudice, for just that reason.

Back around 2013, I heard about this guy, Josh Ackley, who was a Public Relations person for the Girl Scouts beginning in 2008 or earlier, and in 2009 assumed the role of their primary spokesman. According to this article at Breitbart from 2013:

"...So, who is Josh Ackley? The press, moms, and the girls may know Josh Ackley in his day job but probably don’t know what he does off-hours. He is the lead singer of a band called The Dead Betties. The Dead Betties were part of a movement called “homo-punk,” sometimes “homocore,” that Wikipedia describes as “an offshoot of punk… distinguished by its discontent with society in general, and specifically society’s disapproval of the gay, bi-sexual, lesbian and transgender communities.” The Dead Betties are profiled in the book Homocore: The Loud and Raucous Rise of Queer Rock..."

So, as soon as this knowledge became known, the Girl Scouts began scrambling about, and denied he had ever been a spokesman. If you went to the GSA National Page, this is what you saw (which I did when I read this article):

Ah. We must have been mistaken. The Girl Scouts said he wasn't the spokesman, and their website backed that assertion up.

But.

If you looked at the Google Cache of the page from just three days before, this is what you see:

They lied. They outright lied. And apart from the Planned Parenthood brochures they had at Girl Scout gatherings, and this sexual deviant they had as their spokesman, the fact that they simply would just lie sets a great example. I never gave another cent of ANYTHING after that. No cookies. No donations. I can barely walk by the adults who are with them without spitting.

WOW.

Thank you for posting this. I never would have known - I was a GS as well as a Brownie Scout with my mother being our leader.

This is disgusting. No more cookies or anything else they have to offer. EVER.
