Disney Breaks Ties with Boy Scouts

Disney ends funding to the Boy Scouts of America Disney ends funding to the Boy Scouts of America due to their policy that bans gay adult leaders in the organization. The Disney organization decided to cut off all funds, which will cause the Boy Scouts of American organization to lose a big contribution of where they got most of their funds from. It was first realized that Disney would cut off all funds when they sent a letter out to troops saying so. Not only did Disney provide funds, but they also donated some money to troops. I honestly think that this will impact kids and their thoughts on the Boy Scouts organization due to the fact that many of the kids at younger ages tend to know and enjoy Disney as a household name, but now that the name is no longer associated with the Boy Scouts, many kids won’t want to participate in it. It’s honestly irks me to know that people these days are still not treating each other as equal. Years and years we’ve been fighting for equality, and for what?! To find the next thing to judge someone upon. That’s pretty messed up if you ask me. Economically, this could prove as another turning point in the way we as Americans handle, and deal with thing. For one, the topic of gay marriage and what not has been ongoing recently these past couple of years. There’s no more turning a blind eye to it because many people are trying to change these things so they can have equal rights just like everyone else. Day in and day out, we Americans go through life being worried that we won’t be accepted, and that’s one of the reasons why. People just don’t want to change their viewpoints on things. This topic, I’m sure, will continue for a little while longer, but it takes time to get to perfection… am I right?!
