    It's certainly their right to start an equality-free alternative to Scouting, but the business of the 50 year old guy who "cried a river" after finding out that Scout troops will no longer be able to discriminate against gay scouts was just a little bit over the top.

    I liken this to a 5 year old brat being forced to share their toys. "But I don't wanna share with the gays! It's my toy! If they're allowed to play with it too then I'm not gonna play with it anymore! I'm gonna go make a new toy box that no one else is allowed to have!". Homophobia of this magnitude hurts the brain. :eusa_doh:

    "This is going to be a masculine outdoor program to raise young men.”

    Not only is it bigoted, but it's also promoting gender roles.

    Not surprised, once this happened the leaders of our local troop quit and said they were starting a faith based one themselves, so, I'm not sure if the local troop still exists. I was a part of it once, several years ago but quit because I don't like the outdoors

    We had a church-based scouting group when I was a teen. It was the AoG Royal Rangers. I shared a tent with my first oral sex partner.

    I thought the Boy Scouts were already the faith-based alternative. :dry:

    They told us in church that the Boy Scouts had become too secular. That's why they felt the need to start their own scouting group.

    There was an effort at one point to start the "rainbow scouts" but I don't think it went anywhere.

    ... and really, how many teen boys are going to join the "rainbow scouts"? It would be asking to be beaten up.

    ^ I love it when this stuff happens, because eventually they're going to get to a point where they can't get any stupider. When that happens I want to see what they do.

    I hate it when people use their faith to justify discrimination. God created us all equal, who are we to say different.

    They have the right, true, but it's a right to be able to do something that isn't right.

    Why would anyone want to be part of something like the boyscouts? Do you really want to be around the kind of people you see in that article?

    Oh good, I hope that they all leave the BSA, and with enough of the social conservatives gone, there can be more progress.
