Boy Scouts: We hate queers. Philly: Then Fuck Off.

Yay... finally someone's standing up to those fuckwad Boy Scouts. From AP's article:

PHILADELPHIA - The city plans to evict a Boy Scouts council from its city-owned headquarters or have the group pay a fair rent price unless it stops discriminating against gays.

... as it should be. For those who don't know, the Boy Scouts of America currently doesn't like gay people in their ranks, and discharges any openly gay boys or leaders. This would be fine if they were an unsubsidized organization, as this is how several private conservative Christian universities get away with banning black people, women, and of course gays from joining their ranks.

The problem is that the Boy Scouts organization is basically grandfathered in from when they weren't led by Mormon moralistic homophobia, so thus they DO receive public funding, particularly through operating and meeting in city-owned buildings for free. Therefore, the problem arises: why am I forced to contribute my tax dollar to funding the operations of an openly discriminatory organization? Philadelphia's laudable solution follows-- force the fuckers to pay rent, or evict their tight, homophobic asses from city-operated buildings.
