Of all the insidious political groups in this country, the Girl Scouts of America are just the worst. Didn’t you know? Here, let some Indiana wingnut explain how they are just the worst:
A Fort Wayne lawmaker’s refusing to sign a resolution to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts.
He says he chose not to because of things he uncovered about the organization while surfing the web.
As we all know, everything on the internet is true.
State Representative Bob Morris says he won’t sign it because the organization supports abortion and homosexuality.
Not only supports them, but also requires them, is what I heard, on a wingnut website.
For their part, the Indiana Girl Scouts are sort of caught off guard, saying things like “Huh?” and “What in the…,” but Bob Morris still “encourages families to do some research before investing money or time into the organization,” I guess due to the possibility that some unsuspecting Indiana family will find a coupon for a free abortion in their box of Thin Mints.
I think we’ve officially reached Peak Wingnut, y’all.
I found a lesbian lurking in a box of Lemon Chalet Cremes last year………
You just never know.
I’ve been a girl scout since I was 6 years old (I’m 16 now) and they don’t “support” abortion and homosexuality. My whole Girl Scout troop knows I’m gay and support it because they’re decent human beings, not because it’s in the manual that you have to support gay people and abortion. Girl Scouts are welcoming and tolerant of all different people and all different viewpoints. This wingnut has it all wrong, but what else is new?
Astonishing how STUPID some of how our representatives are.
Glad to hear of your acceptance Annie. Thanks for posting.
Good for you Annie. Always be yourself. I love the scouts.
Now I feel guilty. Some girl scouts were selling cookies outside of the grocery store where I shop and I said ‘no thank you’. Next time I will buy some. Plus, too bad the boy scouts aren’t as evolved and enlightened as the girls are.
I wish it were true that we’d reached “peak wingnut” but I just don’t think so–anyhow, this issue certainly caused bruising to my forehead from pounding it on my keyboard. Sigh.
