^^ dont care what the boyscouts think themselves, the organization has adopted an official stance. if you are part of that organization its going to be assumed you either agree or dont disagree enough to leave.
Time to put your big boy pants on and understand discrimination is going to happen everywhere in life. You'll find if you get your face tatted, you'll have a hard time making much more than minimum wage. Gauge your ears you probably won't get a job at the bank. If you're white you probably won't get any of the millions of "african american" grant money for college. If you use street slang heavily you'll never get a corporate job. If you request ham and eggs while staying at your Jewish friends house, you'll probably offend them. If you walk into a church with a gay lover holding hands, you will more than likely treated rather coldly OR have people everywhere praying for you.
There is no such thing as a happy, hippy place where we all just accept each other no matter what we do. Some things offend some people. Boyscouts is a private group, it's a CLUB. Don't like the club rules? Don't join. I highly despise what the KKK stands for but they have every legal right to to stay a group and I let them do their thing and don't worry about it. Don't like the boyscouts? Their rules haven't changed in 100 years so no need to rant or worry about them, otherwise it's just showing YOUR lack of acceptance of others.
first of all, if you tattoo your face you brought that upon yourself. that isnt something natural that you can't control. same with gauges. ive seen ghetto black people that talk with heavy slang in corporate jobs. an if you walk into a church with a gay lover holding hands and people DISCRIMINATE against you, whether or not its religiously based IT'S STILL DISCRIMINATION.
second of all did i stop them from being bigots? no, they're still bigots, just because im having a discussion about them doesnt mean im stopping them from being bigots. if you dont want to discuss this topic, leave.
"I highly despise what the KKK stands for but they have every legal right to to stay a group and I let them do their thing and don't worry about it'
no shit you let them do their thing, what are you going to do about it? those people are psychopaths and they'll kill you in a second if you try stopping them. but whos trying to stop anyone here? its irrelevant.
"Their rules haven't changed in 100 years so no need to rant or worry about them, otherwise it's just showing YOUR lack of acceptance of others"
im intolerant of intolerance. i do not treat people who discriminate against others with the same respect because they do not deserve the same respect. if you believe they do you have a very fucked up and twisted view of reality and you're the reason discrimination like this happens. if everyone was more vocally against this religious bigotry it would save a lot of lives.
this type of bigotry is why suicide rates are so much higher in the homosexual community. maybe if someone stood up for them for once instead of accepting that people are going to bully them, it wouldnt be so high.

if you dont like the thread or the topic, leave. but before you do, explain WHY discrimination being normal means we should just ignore it and accept it. go ahead.
