Trapper, you sure you want to take on Texas? They got a motto there, you know;don't mess with Texas. :>)

I think there have already been some efforts to cut off United Fund funding to the BSA here in Arizona because of their stance on gays. I don't remember how it all came out though.

Also, in Tempe, Arizona the mayor, who is gay, tried to block the city's annual donation to United Way. He did so because BSA received funding from it. I think he backed off, though, because he got a lot of pressure from citizens who supported the BSA's stand.

I suppose, in a way, both organizations receive some tax support in that donations made to them are tax deductible. That's a legal question I can't answer though.

What about it Larry, what do you think?

I think Dr. Ruth is getting senile. LOL.
