"We" don't do anything, it's for the Boy Scouts to decide.

Though watch, they will now be forced to allow queer adult leadership.

Do you mean "forced" by their democratic membership who voted 61% in

I'm sure you're too stupid to have heard of "pressure groups". Idiot.

Really! *Sounds interesting.

Fact.

Also sounds as if you are more aware,
in depth, of the behind-the-scenes political

You can't read. *That's no surprise.

and lifelong Baptist -- to cast her vote, she swallowed
hard, tried to shut out the voice of the preacher in her

You really are an idiot.
