Boy Scouts vote to lift ban on gay youth
May 23 2013

GRAPEVINE, Texas -- The Boy Scouts of America voted
Thursday to end its controversial policy banning gay
kids and teens from joining one of the nation's most
popular youth organizations, ditching membership
guidelines that had roiled the group in recent years.
Over 61 percent of Scouting's National Council of 1,400
delegates from across the country voted to lift the ban,
BSA officials said. The final tally was 757 yes votes,
to 475 no.

It's about ****ing time!

Next step is to allow atheists. Until that day, the Boy
Scouts are still a bigoted organization.

Jeanne, why do you say they are still bigoted? Is it
because you weren't allowed to join because of what you
have between your legs? Or was it because of what you
don't have between your ears?

I had the Girl Scouts available to me. A FAR better
organization than the Boy Scouts.

Nonsense. If that's true, why are so many girls trying to
get into Boy Scouts?


Who says they are?

I wouldn't expect you to know anything that's going on around
you.

Your expectations are not a problem for atheists, so long as
you're not trying to impose your values on others.

Boy Scouts AND Girl Scouts are shrinking even
as the population of young teens is growing. They
are shrinking into irrelevancy.

...and you rejoice.

Actually, the elimination of organizations that are founded on
discriminatory ideals is of tremendous benefit to the
psychological health of modern societies.

By that "logic", you should be eliminated.

Does that mean you believe that organizations founded on
discriminatory ideals are beneficial to modern societies?


Are you claiming to be an "organizations founded on discriminatory
ideals " ?


No (I also do not claim to be an organization).


Yet you are
An organization of cooperating cells.


You have not answered my question, to which I still request an answer.


What ?
You imagine that you are "owed" an answer ?
Good luck with that..
IN the meantime I'm just using your own tactics of fallacious questions and
strawman arguments against you.
