From an organization that states that “homosexual conduct is inconsistent with the traditional values espoused in the Scout Oath and Law” (ala the Boy Scouts of America)… it sure does seem strange that this year, for fundraising…
that they are selling flowers.
Now, I’m not suggesting that the act of selling flowers is in any way homosexual… but I’d be damned if the BSA wouldn’t kick little Johnny out of the troupe if he came to all the meetings wearing one of the flowers he sold in his hair… or at least had something to say about it.
Ironic?
If the act of selling flowers isn’t the issue then I don’t see a problem. I do however see a problem with your logic. I don’t know what boy scouts normally sell, but lets say chocolate bars. I’m sure I could come up with something stereo typically homosexual to do with a chocolate bar that little johnny would get kicked out of the troupe for as well….
You are correct…
I just have a problem with the Boy Scouts making statements against homosexuality…
I dont necesarily think it’s ‘right’, but it’s a private organization so they can make their own rules, bi-laws, whatever you want to call them. Do they let black men into the KKK? Nope they don’t have to :)
you’re absolutely right… it makes me chuckle to see us compare the Boy Scouts with the KKK…
