	<description><![CDATA[Boy Scouts of <i>AMERICA</i>: Not only do 63 percent of Americans oppose a gay scout ban, but 56 percent disapprove of the BSA's new proposal -- to be voted on this month -- to permit gay scouts but ban openly-gay scout leaders. The results, from the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll, also reveal a 14-point increase in public approval of gay scout leaders since last year. ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Homophobic? racist? All of the above: Former GOP Presidential candidate, Texas governor, (and, lest we forget, the man who owned a ranch called "Niggerhead") Rick Perry argued this week that the people who want the Boy Scouts to keep their discriminatory policy on gay scouts are equal to those who fought slavery in the southern states during the pre-Civil War era. Referring to former Texas Governor Sam Houston, who fought against slavery during this period, Perry said, "[Sam Houston's is] the type of principled leadership, that’s the type of courage, that I hope people across this country, on this issue of scouts and keeping the Boy Scouts the organization it is today, [will have]." ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Another reason Canada is awesome: Dozens of people rallied outside Jenny's Bridal Boutique in Saskatoon this week in defense of Rohit Singh, a trans woman who was denied the chance to buy a wedding dress. Even better, many of the protesters -- despite not being transgendered, themselves -- dressed in opposite gender clothing to get the message across. Singh: "[The protest] was festive. It was fun. The store owner left. She closed her store quite early... I'm damn sure it was discrimination. She told me, 'You look like a man and I don't think men can wear dresses as females'... And then she snatched that dress from my hand.'' ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Heartless: After privately coming out to another counselor at a Michigan Boy Scout camp, 19-year-old BSA employee Lauren Jasenak was taken aside by her supervisor, forced to admit she's gay, and then told to sign a homosexuality admission form. The next day, she was fired: "As a 19-year-old, I am still in disbelief that the Boy Scouts discriminated against me. I didn't even realize you could be kicked out of the Boy Scouts for being gay. I felt alone and scared, but most importantly, I had no idea how my rabbit, Thumper, and I were going to get home."  ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Bitter taste: A New Zealand beer company, Tui, is defending it's homophobic billboard by saying that instead of the company being anti-gay marriage, the ad is celebrating the fact that gay marriage is now the norm: "Marriage is open to homosexual couples, so too will be situations where Dad gets a new husband. The joke teller isn't necessarily...not happy with Dad's new husband because he (and Dad) are gay...The joke is more a reflection on recent events, and if anything, promotes gay marriage because we no longer have to say ''Dad's new Civil Partner seems nice.''

	<description><![CDATA[Getting worse before it gets better: The Boy Scouts announced this week that it would add allow gay young men to join the ranks of scouts, unless that rank equaled "leader.": "The youth proviso means that gay kids are ok, but gay men cannot serve in any leadership positions. So, if you stick around the Scouts for long enough and refuse to "understand [your] duty to God to live a moral life," i.e., stop being gay, you're out of the Scouts."

	<description><![CDATA[All eyes are on Boston today, but meanwhile, the Boy Scouts of America are announcing some controversial news. The organization is considering a change to its ban on openly-gay scouts, although gay adults would still be banned from leadership scouting positions: "If approved, the resolution would mean that 'no youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone.' The BSA will maintain the current membership policy for all adults." For more, click the link below. ]]></description>

With this initial hurdle passed, the bill now moves to the House. For more, click the link below. ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Taxed and confused: Under a proposed California tax bill SB 323, the Boy Scouts of America and other organizations that discriminate against gays, atheists and trans members will not longer be given tax-exempt status: "Our state values the important role that youth groups play in the empowerment of our next generation; this is demonstrated by rewarding organizations with tax exemptions supported financially by all Californians..  SB 323 seeks to end the unfortunate discriminatory and outdated practices by certain youth groups." ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Bullied out of business: After their business dropped by a third on the heels of a sexual orientation "scandal," (the owners are gay), a rural Manitoba, Canada restaurant has closed its doors for good. The owners of Pots N Hands, which opened in the town of Morris in December, 2012, were harassed soon after the eatery opened. Owner Dave Claringbould: “We were just trying to bring a new restaurant to the community." Even the mayor of the small town, who tried to convince the couple to stay in business, can't believe it: “It’s sad that there is still so much ignorance."

Schultz: “If you feel, respectfully, that you can get a higher return than the 38 percent you got last year, it’s a free country. You can sell your shares of Starbucks and buy shares in another company. Thank you very much." For more, click the link below. ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[This is just UNacceptable: Despite a Quinnipiac University poll showing a strong favorability rating (55 percent nationally) for reversing the ban on gay scouts, the Boy Scouts of America sent out a survey this week full of homophobic, nonsensical "scenario" questions about gays sharing space with non-gay scouts. For example, one question reads: "Is it acceptable for a gay scout and a straight scout to share a tent on an overnight camping trip?" (followed by five multiple choice options ranging from totally unacceptable to totally acceptable) For more, including a link to the survey, click the link below. ]]></description>
