The Boy Scouts have half-stepped into the 21st century by voting today to allow openly gay youngsters to join. But once those Scouts turn 18? They're out. No gay adult leaders allowed!
Despite this ridiculous — and probably unenforceable — decree, we cats have decided to look on the bright side of life and say, hooray, Boy Scouts. Why? Well, because further change is inevitable — and oh, yes, the paranoid maniacs over at Free Republic are beside themselves, which always make us happy.
Poor Freepers. Couldn't they see this, um, coming?
Guess not. Here are just some of the gems they've posted in the last few hours: "The sodomites have won again!" "The Boy Scouts can go to hell." "The destruction of America is going full bore." "The Scouts have spit in my face." "The country has gone insanely liberal." And our personal favorite (not): "Gay is the new black, apparently."
We cats have a suggestion for the Freeps and all their racist homophobic friends in Angry World. On Tuesday, a far-right-wing gay hater named Dominique Venner walked into Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and shot himself dead at the altar. He left a suicide note claiming that his opposition to France's marriage equality and gay adoption laws drove him to it.
We cats think this is an excellent idea. Not only did the Notre Dame suicide remove one of the most loathsome figures from French politics, it puts an interesting new spin on the term "pro-life"(which, since he was a traditionalist Catholic, Venner undoubtedly was).
So, have at it, Freepers! Since you're so upset about the Boy Scouts — and since goodness knows you love guns as much as you hate gays — please do man up, follow Venner's example and shoot yourselves.
In fact, we have the perfect candidates to get things started: Fred Phelps and his pathetic flock of fools at the Westboro Baptist Church.
