The Boy Scouts of America has lost its largest corporate donor, Intel, which announced today that it will stop giving to the group unless it vows to stop discriminating against gay people

I'm glad they did this - hope more will follow.

Excellent! Echoing the hope that this will spread. Where's the Verizon petition?

Good for Intel! I hope more companies take note and refuse to donate to Boy Scouts. I really wish they would become an inclusive organization because I always feel bad that I can't help my co-worker who has two sons in Boy Scouts whenever they have a fundraiser. I have to avoid her because I don't want to tell her that I CAN'T bring myself to support an organization that has anti-LGBT policies. Hence, I always give to Girl Scouts instead.

Good. I hope that more companies follow and the BSA wakes up and realizes what century their in and drops the anti-LGBT stance.

Until then, I'll continue to give to the Girl Scouts, because they are awesome.
