In a time full of little good political news, this represents a major victory.

In a surprising decision last week that drew little press attention, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, handed the Boy Scouts a victory over a lesbian couple and an agnostic couple. The Ninth Circuit is considered the most liberal appellate court in the land.

The Boy Scouts’ victory came nearly ten years after they were originally sued.

At issue in the case are leases between San Diego and the Boy Scouts which allow the Boy Scouts to build and operate camp grounds and an aquatic center for use by the Scouts and the public. The lesbian and agnostic couples sued even though they had never visited the facilities nor asked to join in scouting activities.
In 2003 a lesbian couple and their son and an agnostic couple and their son filed a federal lawsuit against the Desert Pacific Council of the Boy Scouts and the City of San Diego. They claimed that the leases to the Boy Scouts violated the Establishment Clause of the Constitution because the Boy Scouts discriminate on the basis of religion and sexual orientation.

Legal hearings were held before the CA Supreme Court and the 9th Circuit. After the US SC declined to review the case, the 9th Circuit held hearings in 2011 and has just rendered its decision in favor of the Scouts.

We win one, boys and girls. Thank you, Heavenly Father.

The actual decision can be read as it is linked at the story.

From the article:

“The Plaintiff-couples never visited the facilities in question nor did they ask to participate in scout activities. Their sole reason for bringing this lawsuit was because they were offended and outraged by the Boy Scout’s Oath to do his duty to God and his country and to keep himself morally straight.

Offended & outraged by the boy scout oath? How do these idiots function with that much hate?

Amen! Praise God!
