It’s that time of year again when Girl Scouts sell cookies… and right-wing activists attack the Girl Scouts.
On Tuesday, Linda Harvey of Mission America took offense that the Scouts support “radical feminists” and “homosexual lifestyles” and “feature prominent female homosexuals in some of their materials.” She alleged that they dismiss “authentic morality, Christianity, conservative viewpoints and just plain old motherhood” and “sexual self-restraint” while at the same time promoting “an attitude of suspicion toward males.”

This is not at all the way the organization started, but Girl Scout materials and programs support role models like radical feminists Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan, they support homosexual lifestyles and feature prominent female homosexuals in some of their materials. At the same time virtually absent is respect for authentic morality, Christianity, conservative viewpoints and just plain old motherhood.
It’s one more way that girls are being taught that unless you have an attitude of suspicion toward males in general, unless you bring home a paycheck and unless you have a worldview based on self-indulgence with never a notion of sacrifice, you as a woman are really diminished in worth, sexual self-restraint or restraint of just your own female pride should be avoided at all costs.

I denounce Linda Harvey for being a bigoted, hateful, ignorant, shallow human being! Can I get an amen? (Y)
Self Loathing Bitch
She’s an idiot. Just saying…
Don’t go away mad Linda Harvey JUST GO AWAY! What an ignorant bigot!
Amen Syd!
Oh Linda, Linda, Linda. Just because you haven’t got your fair share of pussy….
This bitch is crazy! End of story. C U next Tuesday.
Bigot
I didn’t know the Girl Scouts supported gay rights. I guess I’ll have to double my cookie order.
keep your bigotry to yourself lady!
Linda Harvey is a dumb hate filled mindless idiot!!
Who?
LGBT people do not have “Lifestyles,” anymore than straight people so. They have lives, the only difference being in who they are sexually attracted to and who they love.
The girl scouts supports it but the boy scouts dont….#TEAMGIRLSCOUTS….She’s so bitter not even a lemon would suck on her
such a moron…lets bash a group that is open to all people…she makes no sens
Linda, keep your hateful comments to yourself. You are clearly a bigot with nothing constructive to say.
Good. More thin mints for us.
So not only are you saying supporting homosexuals is wrong, but you’re saying it’s wrong for a young woman to want to make something of herself? Yes, there is nothing wrong with being a housewife or a stay at home mom, but that isn’t for everyone. Just like dicks aren’t for everyone. Bigoted old bat.
Do people really listen to this twit? As much as I can’t stand her and her ilk they are the BEST thing for gay rights! People hear their insane crap and realize how stupid they and their beliefs are
well, the girl’s scouts are not as bigoted as the boy’s scout…
Poor poor homophobe, is she that afraid that she will miraculously turn Lesbian?
BYE LINDA!!!!!
As a bisexual atheist, I love that Girl Guides of Canada supports me being a leader. I also appreciate that I have a diverse group of parents, some are single parents, others are blended families, I’ve got mixed race families and same sex families. We support them all.
There’s is enough bigotry and hate on this FB page to make one throw up.
Fuck you, Linda. You hateful slut
It was so-called radical women that fought for woman’s right to vote. This woman must work for Mitsy or Ryan.
Put on a happy frace, Linda, and maybe your thoughts will take a merrier turn.
Bad, bad, bad. No cookies for you!
Perhaps I missed something, but does Linda understand that not everything has to do with religion? The Girl Scouts were FOUNDED on diversity!
Reallly – what is this -
Delusional and paranoid.
Just go away!
I was a Girl Scout. I was a Girl Scout leader too for the three years. I can tell you that the Girl Scouts is an awesome organization. They are all inclusive. They teach girls to be independent. To think. To be interested in some things traditionally male related, like camping, archery, even teaches what it means to manage money a business (cookie sales), community service and to support other girls. We as women could learn a lot by the principles that they teach. If we as women supported one another, instead of being caddy and trying to sabotage successful women, we could advance so much further as a sex. That doesn’t mean you can’t have religion. Matter of fact the Girl Scout oath and promise both are religious based. It doesn’t mean that you have to be a feminist. It just means that as a girl/woman, we must learn that we share this planet, all of us, and as long as we live by The Golden Rule, we will be better human beings.
Of course she does. She’s an awful person who actually deserves prison for her homophobic-ness.
I denounce Linda Harvey for pushing her failed and quite fake Bronze Age religious nonsense on people.
:-(
Go to HELL you MISERABLE BITCH!
^^^I second Mark K.^^^
Somebody needs to denounce her.
Dork.
I don’t know how anyone can look at the Girl Scouts in such a way? What terrible, demeaning childhood did she have? Just odd. We are a proud GS family!
This retarded bitch is NOTHING!
Goodness. She totally looks like she can use dark magic and rip someone’s heart from their chest.
bitch
Who gives a darn
Crazy, not the song!
What a disgusting pile of dog shit…I’d call her a C**T but a C**T serves a good purpose!
you are definately a homophobe why is who people choose to sleep with the deciding factor for so many things!?
Linda Harvey reportedly dead from being a cunt.
