Let me just say that in this case, I'm irritated more with the improper whining by homophobic defenders of. . .well. . .homophobia, than I am about the Boy Scouts of America's exclusionary practices!

It isn't as though the BSA will be shut down. It isn't even like the BSA will be forced to accept RuPaul's Drag Race contestants as pack leaders. It's that if they want to continue to be exclusionary, they can't receive government largesse. HEY!! Conservatives!! You supposedly don't like suckling at the government teat! Show some ideological consistency for once, would you?
