Boy Scouts sue Phila. to stay in headquarters



The Philadelphia Inquirier reports:

The Boy Scouts of America’s Philadelphia chapter has sued the City of Philadelphia in federal court to block the city’s May 31 deadline for the scouts to open membership to gays and atheists, or vacate their historic 1928 headquarters off Logan Square.

The civil rights lawsuit, filed Friday in federal court in Center City, contends that the city’s ultimatum violates the scouts’ rights under the U.S. and Pennsylvania Constitutions . . .

The complaint is here.

    Boy Scouts is a wholesome organization. If the homosexual agenda people want to do something, there is nothing against them going out and doing their own thing. Please allow us American the freedom have our own groups.

    As a Boy Scout Leader I think the whole idea o the city “kicking” the Boy Scouts out of a meeting place for upholding their moral principles is ludicrous. The ACLU has already forced their warped view of “religious Freedom” on too many people. If the Homosexuals and Atheists wish to participate in a “scouting” program, they could try the Spiral Scouts, founded by the Wiccans. They are open to everyone.
