Trapper:
I appreciate the humanity of your concerns, however, the kids who committ suiside for fear of lack of acceptence, in my mind, trumps the kids need to have some fun concerns. There is another way to accomplish gay rights in Scouting, start another, truely American (inclusive) Scouting organisation. As to the tax deduction question, Doug, without reseach, I could not say... I am fairly certain there is a difference between direct governmental funding and tax deduction, though, I believe your point is a good one, that that does constitute a governmental endorcement of prejudice.
Well, anyway, good for the Girl Scouts. I might even buy a box of cookies...
