I used to be proud to be called a Boy Scout--it stood for purity, hard work and dedication. However, the intolerance of this organization ranks the Boy Scouts alongside such fanatical groups as the KKK.
As a kid, it was exciting to complete my badge work and receive a patch of clothing to be sewn on my blue shirt with love by my never-complaining mother. I wasn't out at the time so I didn't know the organization I was earning scraps of clothing for was a people-hating conglomerate of church and boy trapping.
Now, the church isn't bad. It isn't the church's fault that it has been used to excuse wars and intolerance thoughout the history of mankind. I grew up hearing "Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so." I fail to remember the verse of the song that says "Jesus hates fags this I know for the Bible tells me so."
But back on point, now comes the news that Boy Scouts are going to allow the homosexuals into their hallowed ranks. Too little, too late. As far as I'm concerned, all the parents that allow their children to belong to such a hate mongering association can choke on a Chick Fil A hamburger, or whatever fast food poison they serve.
Scout's dishonor indeed.
