Not sure what your angle is but they have a very long track record of fighting the good fight and winning, which is good enough in my book. And I resent your insinuation that Julian Bond would just willy-nilly allow his name and reputation to be a selling point for a racist organization, that is bullshit and smacks a bit of racism in itselfGLBT and Friendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04285724814260963428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050907457392783290.post-33359112753461538582011-02-07T10:14:55.337-05:002011-02-07T10:14:55.337-05:00Mr. Cohen,
The Boy Scouts of America have stated ...Mr. Cohen,<br /><br />The Boy Scouts of America have stated publicly for decades that gay men "are not moral enough" to be Scoutmasters and refuses to hire openly gay men as such.<br /><br />Despite this blatant discrimination, by a group that receives public funds AND whose sole purpose is to mold the minds and characters of millions of American boys, the SPLC has never taken legal action against the BSA.<br /><br />Why not?<br /><br />The SPLC's latest IRS Form 990 indicates that you now have more than $216 MILLION dollars in your war chest, and this is more than mere anti-gay bigotry, this is outright illegal discrimination.<br /><br />Why is the SPLC so discriminating in deciding which anti-gay groups to sue?<br /><br />For that matter, why is the SPLC so discriminating in its own hiring practices?<br /><br />2011 marks the SPLC's 40th anniversary and in all those 40 years the SPLC has NEVER hired a person of color to a highly paid position of power. Why is that?<br /><br />http://wp.me/pCLYZ-7m<br /><br />The SPLC's multimillion dollar headquarters is located LITERALLY in the back yard of Dr. Martin Luther King's home church. No doubt, Mr. Cohen, you can see it from your penthouse office.<br /><br />If the SPLC won't practice what it preaches, at the very least it can practice what Dr. King preached so eloquently.Richard Keefehttp://rkeefe57.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
