The Kid Has Arrived

I can’t even remember the last time I bought Girl Scout cookies, but I will be this year. Good for Girl Scouts USA for being inclusive (unlike the Boy Scouts, an organization I’d never support my sons joining) and for making an effort to see that our girls are armed with the facts about sex education. I had a wonderful experience with Girl Scouts when I was growing up. I even got to spend a week in Wyoming when I was middle school at their old National Center West.

A big thank you to the bigots who started this hate campaign for reminding me to support my local Girl Scout council! I’ll be putting Girl Scouts USA on my list of organizations to make an annual donation to, I think.

Taken from the Honest Girl Scouts campaign. For a campaign trying to get people /not/ to buy cookies and /not/ support the GSUSA, this is doing an awful lot to suddenly make me want /to/ support the GSUSA. (and I’m saying this a a former Girl Scout of about 6 years who hasn’t bought cookies in years because they’re too expensive). 

I see so much acceptance here, and especially in a time in children’s lives where acceptance is so important, taking that away from them is just cruel.
