AK Family Council attacks the Girl Scouts

The Alaska Family Council, an anti-gay group that threatened the assembly chairwoman during last summer's ordinance hearings and bullied college students, has picked an even younger target: Girl Scouts.

A recent e-newsletter from AFC President Jim Minnery said that the Girl Scouts is "the last place you want your daughter to be."
In case you didn't know, it's not your mother's Girl Scouts any more. While the Boy Scouts of America has remained true to its traditional ideals, the Girl Scouts have gone full tilt into feminism/sexual revolution/GLBT politics. And doing their best to export it internationally.
Selling cookies makes them gay? Girl Scouts of Alaska posted this response:
It is enormously disappointing that an Alaskan coalition would forward such inflammatory statements without having made any contact with Girl Scouts of Alaska. Girl Scouts is a non-religious values based organization that strongly respects families and makes no statements or stands on girls' sexuality.

Girl Scouts of Alaska builds girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place. The values that Girl Scouts stand for are what's stated in the Girl Scout Promise and Law, essentially unchanged since 1912.
What kind of man picks on little girls?

This is one of the reasons we wouldn't allow our son to join the Boy Scouts, much to his dismay. Now, if only the Girl Scouts would allow boys in...

Someday the Boys will catch up with the Girls.
