Always prepared, huh?

Drumroll aaaaaannnndddd...nothing. Yup, the Boy Scouts of America have decided to put off their decision on whether or not to continue being dicks about gay people. The organization, which claims to be always prepared, needs more time for a 'dialogue within the Scouting family' and 'a more deliberate review of its membership policy...'
This could take weeks...
Next 'debate': do lizard people secretly
run the world, or is that batshit insane?
I guess I don't really get what there is to discuss. The 'debate' is between members who believe in Boy Scouty values like equality and justice and members who think that gay scoutmasters and scouts will sexually abuse other scouts. It's between people who see an injustice and the assholes who cling to it. If the organization is going to continue use the debunked, discredited and blatantly homophobic conflation of gays and pedophiles as a basis for discrimination, they might as well just come out and say it. Go all out guys. You're afraid of gay people.

No one wants to hang
 out with Predator...

Check out TV's Pat Robertson, whose ability to connect gays and sex crimes in defiance of reason and science is legendary:

"...the question is, are there predators as Boy Scouts, pedophiles who would come in as scoutmasters?...And if they are then, of course, parents wouldn't want their sons involved in the Boy Scouts..."

-Pat Robertson, still has a show


Actually Pat, that's not the question. The question is what's wrong with you that the first thing you think about when you think about the BSA lifting its ban on LGBT members is how much gay sex they're all going to have?
Above: Pat Robertson clenching at the thought of gay sex. Lots of gay sex.
