WaPo Celebrates Homosexualization of Boy Scouts

Nothing was more wholesome and all-American than the Boy Scouts of America. So moonbats infiltrated and corrupted the organization. Because children are involved, the emphasis has been on perverted sex, in keeping with liberal proclivities.

Gushes the Washington Post:

Amid the hundreds of tents erected for the Boy Scouts of America’s National Jamboree, one especially stands out — decorated with a canopy of LGBTQ Pride flags and a string of multicolored lights, its tables covered with bowls of rainbow bracelets, pronoun stickers and diversity patches.

“This is my entire world,” said 18-year-old River Capell, a scout volunteer from Northern Virginia who describes themselves as nonbinary and pansexual.

River says the embrace of politicized sexual depravity by the BSA has been “incredibly welcoming and positive.”

Now that only a liberal would be willing to send their son out into the woods with these creeps, the BSA can be added to the list of institutions that have fallen to progressives.

The triumphant obituary was written by “queer journalist” Mike De Socio, who essentially admits that his fellow homosexuals have destroyed the BSA:

The organization lost nearly half of its membership between 2019 and 2020. This national event represents one of its first steps out of a generational nadir brought about by the pandemic, a sexual abuse scandal and an ensuing bankruptcy.

The BSA had barely resolved its struggle over membership policies — fully admitting gay men in 2015 and trans boys in 2017, and then cisgender girls in 2018 — before facing an avalanche of sexual abuse claims.

The BSA was crushed by a $2.46 billion settlement. Submitting to LGBT bullies comes at a price.

All’s well that ends well. As every Democrat knows, you have to destroy before you can replace:

Scouts within the ranks [i.e., leftist adults who had infiltrated the organization in order to subvert it] seized the moment to press for a focus on diversity, equity and inclusion. A collective dubbed “Scouts for Black Lives” successfully pushed the organization to commit to a slate of projects, including a new diversity merit badge required for Eagle Scout rank.

No word on whether you can still achieve Eagle Scout status without an anal sex merit badge.

The BSA has been repurposed. It now serves to indoctrinate children with woke ideology and groom them on behalf of the Alphabet People. You may as well turn your son over to NAMBLA.

Boy Scouts May Cancel Nods to Indian Culture

Cultural engineers would like to erase both Indians and the Boy Scouts. This should encourage them on both accounts:

The Boy Scouts of America recently asked members whether it’s time to change century-long traditions and practices that critics say misappropriate Native American culture.

In a recent email survey taken by 35,000 current and former members, the national organization asked a broad range of questions about what changes — if any — should be made to its usage and portrayal of Native American imagery, ceremonies and rituals.

Despite decades of calls for reforms from some scouts and Indigenous advocates, the organization still encourages scouts to don headdresses and imitate Indigenous dances as part of its honor society. Some chapters and camps carry made-up, Indigenous-sounding names. Indigenous advocates have decried the depictions as racist and oppressive.

Minority group crybullies have to take racist oppression where they can find it these days.

The Boy Scouts’ poll comes amid growing, national backlash over the misappropriation of Indigenous culture. In recent years, professional sports teams have retired their Native American mascots. Federal and state governments have renamed parks and monuments. And both the YMCA and Camp Fire stopped using Indigenous names for campsites and chapters in youth development programs.

As noted yesterday, New York State has banned Indian nicknames. Iconic characters like Chief Wahoo, the Land O’Lakes Indian Maiden, and the Crying Indian who rebuked us for littering have been canceled.

Soon Indians will be erased completely. Then no one will be able to offend them anymore.

The Boy Scouts are on the fast track to erasure too. LGBT militants have accomplished this by bullying their way into positions to escort young boys out into the woods. Sex abuse lawsuits will take care it from there. Already Boy Scouts have been compelled to march under the flag of their conquerors:

No aspect of traditional American culture can be left standing if liberals are to construct utopia upon its ruins.

Boy Scouts March Under the Flag of Their Conquerors

Once Boy Scouts of America was a wholesome pillar of a healthy society. That’s why leftists had to destroy it.

LGBT militants bullied their way in. Spineless BSA bureaucrats were too terrified of being called homophobes even to defend children. Child sexual abuse suits predictably reduced the organization to bankruptcy. Membership went into a nose dive. Here’s what’s left of the Boys Scouts now:

The same parade featured adults cavorting fully naked in front of kids.

Formerly, the Boy Scouts instilled patriotism. Scouts are taught differently now. As Not the Bee notes,

The Boy Scouts of America now carry LGBT flags at the same height, or even higher, than the Stars & Stripes.

Before long Old Glory will be phased out completely in favor of the flag of their conquerors.

Anything the left is allowed to infiltrate, it will subvert, pervert, render disgusting, and destroy. For examples, look in any direction.

Giving even another millimeter to moonbats is not an option.

Boy Scouts of America Destroyed by Moonbattery

Scouting used to be a wholesome aspect of growing up as a proper American. Leftists have succeeded in destroying it.

Participation has been in a tailspin:

Membership for the BSA’s flagship Cub Scouts and Scouts BSA programs dropped from 1.97 million in 2019 to 1.12 million in 2020, a 43% plunge, according to figures provided to The Associated Press. Court records show membership has fallen further since then, to about 762,000.

Covid has been a factor, but that is already passing. This crisis has settled in to stay:

The Boy Scouts of America have reached an $850 million agreement with attorneys representing some 60,000 victims of child sex abuse in what could prove to be a pivotal moment in the organization’s bankruptcy case.

The agreement filed in court by BSA attorneys late Thursday would mark one of the largest sums in U.S. history involving cases of sexual abuse.

The BSA has a similar appeal to gay pedophiles as the Catholic priesthood — with similar results.

The Boy Scouts of America sought bankruptcy protection in February 2020, moving to halt hundreds of lawsuits by men who were molested as youngsters decades ago by scoutmasters or other leaders.

Clearly, there was a problem even before 2015, when the BSA knuckled under to bullying from LGBT militants and their liberal fellow travelers to allow openly gay scout leaders to take little boys off into the woods.

The numbers that have been flying around are staggering.

The Boy Scouts have said that between $2.4 billion and $7.1 billion, including insurance rights, might be available for abuse victims. Attorneys for a committee that acts as a fiduciary representative of all victims in the bankruptcy case have estimated the value of some 82,500 sexual abuse claims at about $103 billion.

The BSA signed its own death warrant by surrendering to the LGBT thugs instead of attempting to root out the problem. They knew what the results would be. But better children should be raped than BSA bureaucrats get denounced as homophobes.

Any institution that moonbattery is allowed to infiltrate will be corrupted and destroyed.

LGBTification of Girl Scouts

The innocence of Girl Scouts fills moonbats with a burning need to corrupt them:

Scouts can earn the rainbow-striped LGBTQ+ Pride Month segment of the multicultural community celebration patch by participating in LGBT educational activities and activism. Those activities include participation in pride celebrations and completion of educational assignments about gay and transgender activism.

An example of a “pride celebration” would be this. “Educational” refers to indoctrination into sexual depravity as a political ideology.

No doubt girls can earn special patches by having lesbian sex or proclaiming themselves to be boys.

No society that allows the corruption of children will survive for long or deserves to.

LGBT Targeting of Children Continues

As they menacingly chant and sing, they are coming for our children.

It isn’t just in classrooms, at drag shows, and in the Boy Scouts that LGBTists target kids. In woke Austin, children are placed at the forefront of parades in honor of sexual perversion:

Corporate moonbats have the same emphasis, as aggressively displayed by Disney and Target. They even wrap kids’ candy in politicized depravity:

The candy packaging that Skittles advertises on its website features slogans such as “Joy Is Resistance” and “Black Trans Lives Matter.” Skittles, which is owned by Mars, partnered with GLAAD, a media monitoring organization that espouses radical gender theory, to reveal the packaging for Pride Month earlier this year.

This past June was the fourth year Skittles partnered with GLAAD “to support the LGBTQ+ community by amplifying and celebrating their stories,” according to its website. Skittles said it will “donate $1 for every Skittles Pride pack sold to GLAAD in support of their ongoing efforts to work through media to combat anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination.”

“Combat anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination” is Liberalese for “ram the LGBT agenda down people’s throats.” As we have seen repeatedly, the “+” in “LGBTQ+” prominently includes pedophilia.

This is hardly the first time Mars has used Skittles to promote sexual deviancy:

For a short time in 2020, Skittles “gave up” the rainbow that famously dons its colorful packaging for a black and white package to “give the rainbow back” to the LGBTQ community for Pride Month.

How about giving the rainbow back to the Book of Genesis, from which the Alphabet Mob blasphemously appropriated it? For millennia, the rainbow has represented God’s covenant never again to punish us with a flood for wallowing in sin.

This promise leaves open other options. One way or another, what a society tolerates, it will be held responsible for.

Another Culture War Skirmish in Provo

You know the Culture War requires a renewed commitment when the front lines are in Provo, Utah.

Last weekend, Provo hosted the all-ages, family-friendly Back to School Pride Drag Extravaganza. “Talent” for this grooming event apparently consisted largely of local Brigham Young University students and alumni.

BYU is currently embroiled in a hate hoax that despite its obviousness has inspired South Carolina to cancel a basketball series with it.

This puts pressure on the school, which is owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to demonstrate that it is on board with the liberal agenda lest it be canceled by the academic establishment.

This news from BYU has NBC fuming:

Brigham Young University removed pamphlets with off-campus resources for LGBTQ students from welcome bags for incoming freshmen late last month.

Created by RaYnbow Collective … the pamphlets offered information about weekly and monthly events available to LGBTQ students, as well as lists of organizations in the area that could provide therapy, safe housing, mentorship and more. The RaYnbow Collective is not officially affiliated with the university.

Let’s hope not. BYU is among the last refuges in the country where homosexual behavior is officially discouraged. This draws the ire of the media and LGBT activists, who would like to do to it what they did to the Boy Scouts of America.

The same RaYnbow Collective sponsored the supposedly child-friendly drag show in Provo, which featured perverts whose names are variant spellings of Anal Leakage and Genitalia.

When NBC demanded to know why the pamphlets were removed, BYU emailed a statement that included the following:

The decision to remove the materials by Student Life was based on the university’s commitment to provide support through the Office of Belonging and our counseling services and not to allow outside entities to imply affiliation with or endorsement from the university.

Or to put it slightly differently, they were not going to allow LGBT militants to create the impression that BYU officially endorses their depraved agenda.

Notes NBC,

The announcement of the new office came the same week church leader Jeffrey R. Holland spoke at the Utah campus about defending the doctrine of the family and marriage as the union of a man and a woman.

Sounds like a plot to preserve the remnants of moral decency. Good thing the media exposed it.

LGBT militants were able to subjugate the Boy Scouts because the cowards running the organization did not have the commitment or character to stand up to them. Let’s hope BYU is different.

What Do We Do Now?

It’s starting to look like the ham-fisted tactics worked. Politics is information warfare. Big Tech largely disarmed one side through brazen censorship, allowing the barking moonbats who run Silicon Valley to select their representative as de facto president.

Mark Dice does not overstate the seriousness of our situation:

“They don’t want to just silence us online; they want to repeal the First Amendment and arrest us for ‘hate speech’ for disagreeing with them as they aim to replace our current form of government with a Marxist technocratic superstate that’s a crossbreed between the regimes in George Orwell’s 1984 and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World.”

Actually, the grotesque notion of utopia progressives are progressing toward is more depraved than anything Orwell or Huxley could have imagined.

“They want to turn Boy Scouts into drag queens. They want people to buy sexbots instead of engagement rings. They want people to denounce God and view Christians as the enemy, while hordes of lazy and entitled degenerates live off the labor of those who get up and go to work every morning.”

What can we do about it? Turn off the ballgame and get engaged. We can’t just coast through this.

Word “Brownie” Struck From Newspeak Dictionary

As we work toward utopia, the Newspeak Dictionary grows ever thinner, with the eventual objective of reducing human language to inarticulate grunts so that no one can say anything offensive. Canada leads the way by abolishing the term “Brownie.”

Background on Canadian Brownies:

Girl Guides of Canada is a founding member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts and was founded in 1910. The Brownie is a branch of Girl Guides that teaches outdoor safety and other life skills to girls ages 7-8.

Jill Zelmanovits, CEO of Girl Guides of Canada, explains why Brownies must no longer be called “Brownies”:

“Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion at Girl Guides calls on us to listen to the lived experiences of racialized girls and take action to safeguard these commitments.”

Zelmanovits says that calling Brownies “Brownies” has “caused them personal harm.”

You almost have to admire the creativity of moonbats who find evidence in support of the Cultural Marxist narrative no matter how obvious it is that no such evidence exists.

As Robert Conquest observed, any organization that is not explicitly right-wing soon becomes left-wing. The Girl Guides are no exception. This is not the first time they have made fools of themselves with their obsequious virtue signaling:

Girl Guides has previously taken other steps leaders felt allowed for an inclusive environment, including accepting transgender girls into the organization.

“Transgender girls” by definition are not girls. How can they call themselves “Girl Guides” if they do not even know what a girl is?

No doubt calling a flat bar of chocolate cake a “brownie” is also racist, especially since brownies have been associated with drug use.

However, calling little boys “Brownies” might be excused, so long as the intent is to demasculinize them in accordance with the liberal agenda.

Girl Guides CEO Fired for Defending Girls From Perverts

Australia and the Girl Scouts (or Girl Guides, as they are called in some countries) have both succumbed to moonbattery. Put them together and you get this:

Karyn Lisignoli … lasted exactly one week as CEO of Girl Guides in Western Australia last December before being fired after she objected to a change in the Girl Guides’ constitution that changed the definition of girl to “any person under the age of 18 who lives their life as female” and changed the definition of woman to “any person aged 18 years or older who lives their life as female.”

What “living your life as a female” might mean is to be determined on the fly.

Lisignoli’s fireable offense was favoring the definition of female on a biological basis, so that creeps like Lia Thomas (the transgender swimmer who “still has male body parts and is still attracted to women,” as he evidently displays in the shower room) don’t exploit LGBT lunacy to impose themselves on little girls.

At Girl Guides UK, for example, boys can share tents and even showers with girls, and parents cannot be told — an investigation was launched last fall after posts on social media showed one leader dressed as a dominatrix.

That’s the world we live in, now that LGBT militants write the rules.

The Girl Guides WA constitution specifically states that boys who proclaim themselves to be girls “will participate in the same activities as all other youth members of your unit,” and “this includes sleeping in the same area as the other youth members.”

Lisignoli had hoped to make changes when she arrived, stating that these radical moves had been made within organizations without ordinary parents and supporters being made aware of what was taking place.

So she was fired, steamrolled by liberal tolerance.

That’s why so few have the guts to stand up to LGBT bullies. But the price of not standing up to them is even higher. It is paid by the most innocent.
