And discuss.

My H is an eagle scout and after he saw this he's seriously considering sending back his medal too.

I'm sad that yet another organization is against homosexuality. I am very impressed with how many of the alumni have returned their awards, it's a very loud response on how disappointed people are with these types of orginizations. We should not be teaching our kids that it is ok to turn people away because of their life choices. Of course, as long as the life choice isn't a harm to others physically.

Edit: changed wording.

Reading those letters break my heart. Eagle scouts are a big deal. Proud of these guys.

Slightly on the same lines, the Muppets have ended their relationship with Chick-fil-a.

I kind of wish we had one here so that I could not support Chik-fil-a- a lot more.

Lol- about chick-fil-a....I'm super sad I've never eaten at one. I've heard good (yummy) things about them, but since they've gone public with their hatred, I won't ever visit them, and I'll never know about their yumminess.

It's not that good. Anti-gay marriage aside, I don't care for it.

You're just saying that to make me feel better <3

Nope. I really don't think it's good. I've eaten there 3 times. All 3 times were not so awesome.

I really don't see what the big deal is.

[jennlin]

Well, at least you *know*. I will forever be a chickfila virgin.

I've never been to a chik-fil-a and I honestly don't care if I ever go to one. I have a friend who sent his eagle scout medal back because he refuses to be a part of that.
