Our kids are living in a new world, and it's a beautiful thing.
An unnamed $100,000 donor sent the Queen Anne offices of the Girl Scouts of Western Washington a note last May asking the chapter to “guarantee that our gift will not be used to support transgender girls. If you can’t, please return the money.”
Council CEO Megan Ferland returned the donation, which would have sent 500 girls to camp and helped the troop meet nearly a quarter of their annual fundraising goal, with a note saying “Girl Scouts is for every girl. And every girl should have the opportunity to be a Girl Scout if she wants to.”
This comes after the Girl Scouts of America's announcement in May that they will accept transgender kids:
Girl Scouts is proud to be the premiere leadership organization for girls in the country. Placement of transgender youth is handled on a case-by-case basis, with the welfare and best interests of the child and the members of the troop/group in question a top priority. That said, if the child is recognized by the family and school/community as a girl and lives culturally as a girl, then Girl Scouts is an organization that can serve her in a setting that is both emotionally and physically safe.
this is turning out to be the year of American equality and the bigots and racist are being shown the hand. the platform of hate and intolerance is now riddled with termites of the voting kind and there is no exterminator on the other side. orgs. all over America are becomining Amercanized and true to what the country was suppose to be God Bless the America to be. money can't buy yo love nor can it buy you hate.
