How Many Letters?

The following blog post is from Family Council staff member Sarah Bean.

Back when I was a kid I didn’t really know anything about homosexuality; I guess I was either pretty sheltered or the homosexual movement wasn’t “out” as a whole. But things have changed significantly in my lifetime.

Most of us are aware of this subject. It is all over the media and politics. I can’t turn on the TV without seeing commercials or shows that openly support a homosexual lifestyle.

The verdict is still out on homosexuality: Both sides say they are winning, but my question is: We keep adding “letters” to this issue. When does it stop?

CA Senate Votes to Revoke Scouts’ Tax-Exempt Status

From Baptist Press:

Less than a week after the Boy Scouts changed its policy to allow gay-identifying youth, the California Senate passed a law that would revoke the organization’s tax-exempt status if it doesn’t also allow gay leaders.

We have written about this legislation before. Essentially this bill punishes organizations like the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, Little League, Special Olympics, American Youth Soccer Organization, Future Business Leaders of America, and many religious organizations that serve youth, because these organizations “discriminate on the basis of gender identity, race, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, or religious affiliations.”

The Boy Scouts of America have already given in to activists who want to hijack scouting’s noble mission for their personal agenda, but evidently some lawmakers in California feel the Boy Scouts have not gone far enough.

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.”
