Madonna rips Boy Scouts at GLAAD Awards –
Why can’t people like Madonna, Anderson Cooper, and Ellen
DeGeneres just leave the Scouts alone! The Boy Scouts as we know it started
in 1910 and since then over 100 million Americans have been part of scouting, currently
there are 2.7 million scouts and about 1 million adult leaders! (Wikipedia) According to Scout policy "Boy
Scouts of America believes that homosexual conduct is inconsistent with the
obligations in the Scout Oath and Scout Law ……!). In 2000, the Supreme Court
ruled in Boy Scouts of America v. Dale
that Boy Scouts, and all private organizations, have the constitutionally
protected right under the First Amendment of freedom of association to set
membership standards. Hey, I have an idea that Madonna, Cooper and DeGeneres start
a scout program for gays!? And certainly you would welcome heterosexuals with
open arms!
