Looks like it's time for us to step up and help the Boy Scouts, since the usual right-wing donors will likely not continue to support them in the fashion they have in the past.

The Boy Scouts decided to come into the 21st century and stop banning gay kids from being scouts. It's about time. What I find most interesting is that when it came to the disturbing history of abuse of those scouts by scout leaders, no one on the right made so much as a peep. Instead, they continued to support the organization with the same fervor they had in the past.

Bryan Fischer, that self-hating head of the American Family Haters Association, blew a gasket over their decision. He was absolutely certain they'd keep hating and hating hard, just like he does. Now he's in mourning, rebranding them as the Boy Sodomizers of America:

Right Wing Watch:

Admitting that he was shocked by the vote since he was positive that it was going to be retained, Fischer declared that the BSA should change its name to the "Boy Sodomizers of America." Fischer eventually read a passage from the Book of Luke in which Jesus says it is better to have a stone tied around ones neck and be tossed into the sea than to lead a child to sin as a warning to BSA leaders that they will face the judgment of God for endorsing this change in policy.

I'm sure we haven't heard the last of this from the hate gang. Prepare to defend the Boy Scouts so they don't feel pressure to rescind their newly progressive decision.

Can you help us out?
