ADF: Boy Scouts Capitulate to Homosexual Activists

From Alliance Defending Freedom:

“For over a century, the Boy Scouts have stood strong and represented the essence of what makes America great. Going against its longstanding membership policy, the Boy Scouts of America Executive Committee has now decided to push forward a resolution allowing members to be of any “sexual orientation or preference.” This is only the beginning of a sea change, as those promoting this agenda won’t rest until there is complete acceptance of any sexual preference for both leaders and members. This is no compromise; it is capitulation, plain and simple. The Boy Scouts must remember that the Constitution protects–and the Supreme Court has affirmed–their freedom to promote and practice the values that have served to shape our nation’s boys into leaders for well over 100 years.”

From FRC: Will Boy Scouts Stand Up to Bullies?

The Family Research Council out of Washington, D.C., has issued a statement regarding the pressure the Boy Scouts of America has faced over its policies regarding homosexuality.

The Boy Scouts of America has indicated it may bow to pressure and change its longstanding policy concerning homosexuality. Please call the Boy Scouts as soon as possible at 972-580-2000 and encourage them to stand strong.

For decades, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) have heroically withstood attacks from homosexual activists. Now, officials from the organization have indicated that this may be about to change. The BSA says that it is “discussing potentially removing the national membership restriction regarding sexual orientation.”

From ADF: France Trades Speech for Genderless Society

As the French government has taken new, radical steps to eliminate gender from many of its laws–including laws pertaining to homosexuality and marriage–French officials are asking Twitter to help censor messages from its people that run counter to the government’s genderless message.

Alan Sears with Alliance Defending Freedom writes

When a society’s laws recognizing marriage as the union of one man and one woman are changed to honor the unions of same-sex couples, it’s not just the law that changes—it’s also the society itself that changes. A top-down metamorphosis begins in which every aspect of public law changes to match the new definition of marriage.

Today, this is playing out in France with great clarity.
