Hometown news

The city of Brotherly Love has taken steps to evict the Boy Scouts of America's Cradle of Liberty Council from its rent free accommodation provided by the city unless the Scouts agree to "publicly affirm it will not discriminate" against those who believe in Brotherly Love or pay fair market rent for the site. Fair enough I say.

It's not like the Scouts haven't housed the odd gay scoutmaster over the years. I was always highly suspicious of my own troop's leader's obsession with doing "tick checks" involving careful inspection of the pubic vicinity after every hike or camping trip.
