    I'm sorry, I just loved that this was at the bottom of the quoted article :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    As for the article itself, I think it's completely ridiculous that the Boy Scouts actually think they should be allowed to discriminate. Last I checked, the Catholic church lets gays into their congregations because it's not like they ask "are you gay?", frankly the Boy Scouts asking the same thing is just BS.

    The Boy Scouts are a moronic Christian organization. You have to be a Christian male to join. Yup. Can't be Muslim or a Jew (or so I've heard).

    I quit scouts years ago for this very reason.

    put it this way... they want it both ways. they want to be able to practices discrimination, racial profiling, and homophobia, but they dont want to be held accountable for breaking the laws and statutes everyone else has to follow.
