Ban gay marriages: Pope
Gays hit back at Vatican
People are idiots.
Later Edit:
As if we needed further evidence:
"United Way Charity Suspends Scout Grants Over Gays"
I was so impressed that the Cradle of Liberty Council defied the national ban on gay leaders, especially because they're the third-largest council in the States. I shouldn't have been surprised that they wouldn't be allowed to get away with it. Here's a quote from the article:
"The Cradle of Liberty Council, which serves 87,000 youths in Philadelphia and its Pennsylvania suburbs, defied national leaders in May by adopting its own nondiscrimination policy toward gays.
But the group later rescinded the policy and agreed to oust an openly gay scout after the Irving, Texas-based national council threatened to revoke its charter."
So the United Way, which has an antidiscrimination policy, has decided to suspend their grant.
Makes me glad that what we've got Daniel involved in apparently has the following credo:
"Scouting is a world wide, multi cultural movement. We welcome people to membership regardless of gender, race, culture, religious belief, sexual orientation or economic circumstances. Youth members are strongly influenced by the behaviour of adults. We need to be sensitive to the traditions and beliefs of all people and to avoid words or actions which "put down" anybody."
