[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think my son would love boy scouts.  I think there are many wonderful things he could get out of it.  But I owe it to him to teach him to stand up for values we as a family hold dear, and not giving money to organizations that promote homophobia and discrimination is on that list.  So, we choose other things for him to do.[/quote]

No where in my scout teaching have they ever talked about gays being bad. I am not sure where you are getting this information from.[/quote]

When an organization excludes a group of people from membership that's discrimination.  Regardless of what they teach or talk about in scouting, the organization as a whole has discriminatory practices.  [/quote]

DC's troop has more than enough kids. You don't like their philosophy don't join. Simple really. :D[/quote]

It's not the simple, really!   Many people are completely unaware of the Boy Scouts' discriminatory policies.   If their child's personal pack or troop doesn't say anything or seems perfectly welcoming, they figure that there's no problem - but the problem is at the national level.  Since people are unaware of that, it is necessary to make the public aware.[/quote]
