Former presidential candidate Rick Santorum has long spoken out against gay rights, a moral standpoint he believes must apply to the Boy Scouts of America.
Santorum came out with a statement after the Boy Scouts of America executive board announced it would reconsider the controversial national ban on gay membership it agreed upon seven months ago, according to CBS News.
[W]hen I saw that the Boy Scouts of America executive board is convening on Wednesday to discuss abandoning the organizations founding moral principles that nurture boys into men, I was saddened, but not surprised, he stated in a column Monday on the conservative site WorldNetDaily.
Santorum said he believes the Boy Scouts are reconsidering its stance due to pressure from popular culture and "the intolerant liberal mind."

(223 posts)this makes absolutely no sense. But this appears to be their latest attempt to make it appear to deflect their own intolerance

Boo fucking hoo
