NAPERVILLE, Ill. (WordNews.org) May 21, 2013 –The head of a nonprofit organization is urging big business and philanthropists to back the Boy Scout in advance of the BSA’s vote to allow gay leaders and gay scouts.

Peter LaBerra is urging businesses such as Chick-fil-A to promise the Boy Scouts that they will make up any lost donations from “pro-homosexual” corporations if it votes again allowing gay leaders and gay scouts.

LaBarbera is president of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH). The BSA i schedule to vote this week on the issue.

“Americans For Truth calls on Christian and conservative philanthropists and patriotic corporations to step up to the plate and publicly pledge to the Boy Scouts to make up financially for any losses in donations the BSA would face by maintaining its existing ‘Morally Straight’ policy.

“Homosexual activists pressured major corporations like UPS to stop giving to the Scouts — ironically, in the name of ‘nondiscrimination.’ This caused BSA leaders to panic and start abandoning their common-sense policy prohibiting openly homosexual Scouts,” LaBerra said.  “It’s time to end the financial tyranny of morally-compromised corporate liberals. We call on conservatives who have been blessed financially by God to put their money to good use — by neutralizing the Left’s ‘corporate blackmail’ against the beleaguered Scouts.”

LaBerra said the scouts need to be saved “in spite of its own politically correct leadership.”
“The Scouts are under pressure from large corporate donors and CEOs on their leadership team who themselves have capitulated to the homosexual lobby,” he said.

The BSA is scheduled to vote on Thursday after a long delay following national outrage at the BSA’s “potential pro-homosexual sellout.”

“This issue is much bigger than the Scouts,” LaBerra said. “America’s moral foundations are crumbling under the weight of well-financed ‘gay’ pressure groups and a popular culture that displaces ‘reverence’ for God (to quote the Scout Law) with anarchic hedonism. Our boys are vulnerable to well-marketed LGBT cultural advocacy that redefines sexual immorality and deviancy as a ‘civil right.'”
