Carly Rae Jepsen Refuses To Perform For The Anti-Gay Boy Scouts Of America

Who really cares about what Carly Rae Jepsen has to say?! She should probably stick to topics that are in her scope of intellect, be appealing for people to return their library books or possibly the importance of using their turn signals.

Fuck Yeah.
I was seriously disliked by my boss 15 years ago because I was the only one on the team who refused to have money taken out of my pay automatically for the United Way. The United Way funds the Boy Scouts and I said I wasn't going to give money to gay haters.

Hey GG, how you doing girl? If you come back, come to OP! ;D

@Ecce, hi to you as well.

Still can't listen to those two videos. Already know the blondette and only lasted a few seconds of the second video. blech.

Thank you.
As a Gay Christian (who also happens to be a former Scout) I appreciate your response.

#1, I would be honored to hunt or fish or listen to Ted Nugent's spectacular guitar skills or talk to him about his conservative beliefs.

#2. Salty Dog brought up a point that several people have asked you but so far, you haven't given an explanation. Salty Dog said: "The organization's official stance is to ban gay scouts and leaders, there is no two ways about it. I personally would never let my kids be affiliated with an organization who has official discrimination policies like that even if the people in the local chapter are nice and friendly and accepting. There are other groups for kids to be involved with."

So, what is it with you?

Why do you support and allow you children to participate in this organization?

Are you a hypocrite or just weak?

Good for Carly. One should speak up when they're in disagreement with something designed to shut others down. They can get someone else to sing at their event.

And whatever the other two video people are serving, no thanks!

PS. I was a cub webolos and boy scout and I never got butt raped or had to blow a scout leader. Just went camping and hung out with friends--some great trips to boundary waters canoe area.

Same here. I did the whole schmear from Cubs to full merit-badge sashes. I don't even remember an especially Christian component, though we did meet in a Protestant church basement and mumble various pledges about God and duty.

Mainly, I remember a lot of fun snow-camping, canoeing, swimming, fishing, hiking, making fires, etc. The whole experience was 1000X better than bad and kept us brats out of trouble (for the time being).

Just to challenge the stereotype, most christians are tolerant of gays.

So anyway, its hard to imagine any boy scouts giving a fuck that this nobody won't sing for them.

Some of the most moral people I know are ghey and quite frankly I could give a flying fuck what consenting adults do in the bedroom....
It completely enrages me when these 'christians' fancy themselves the moral compass for the country and dictate to the rest of us.... besides -wtf is wrong with this young girl that she is already such a self righteous bigot- and a tedious one at that... shouldn't she be spending her time smoking pot and fighting off horny school boys??
Anyway- why shouldnt gheys and gayelles have the chance to be as miserable as the rest of us!
Life would suck without ma doggies and ma main gheys to have a gossip and bitch with....

"NOSOPD -Not our sort of person darling"

Please correct me Poopele:
Are you saying Scout leaders are child molesters?
Joining the Scouts subjects children to child molesters?
Is there a particular slur you intended to make? Or was there a point?
I didn't think so.

"I was crying, and I reached around and hit Max in the face, and said I was going to quit the troop and tell my daddy," a 10-year-old Scout wrote in 1972, describing his alleged rape by a Georgia troop leader, Samuel Max Dubois Jr. "Then we heard the others coming back, and Max said put your pants back on."

Turley was convicted of an assault four boys, three of which were scouts...He was sentenced to seven years in prison. A group committee chair had complained about Turley's behaviour and he was told to leave his troop, but he then joined a different troop

There were 2,000 US cases of abuse within the Boy Scouts of America prior to 1994

On 25 April 2011, 44-year old Steven Etherington...was found guilty of two counts of sexual assault. He bound the hands and feet of one boy and whipped him with a wet tea towel for not wearing a high-vis vest while cycling. Another boy was staked to the ground and tied to tent pegs in a star shape to teach him not to be ticklish.

One night after most Scouts had retired to their tents at Camp Schiele, the boy stayed up talking with Bumgarner, who reached into the boy's pants and fondled him, according to a statement from the boy's father that is in Bumgarner's file. The boy objected repeatedly, but Bumgarner persisted, telling him "the cartilage in [his] penis was similar to his nose and that he could break it," the father wrote.

It goes on and on and on.

And before some of you go all batshit crazy, not all people in scouting ban gheys. Dad had two boys that made Eagle that were ghey. And one of the moms who is an assistant is ghey too. It just depends on if the people in that area are asses or not. It's NOBODY'S business who you kiss
-------------------------------------------------

The organization's official stance is to ban gay scouts and leaders, there is no two ways about it. I personally would never let my kids be affiliated with an organization who has official discrimination policies like that even if the people in the local chapter are nice and friendly and accepting. There are other groups for kids to be involved with, I was involved with a church youth group that was far more accepting of gay people than my local boys scout chapters were.

Yes, nobody is saying that there aren't nice people out there in scout troops who "look the other way" or allow out people to participate and lead troops. But we are talking about the official policy, which is to ban gays. And that is wrong. And it has caused people to be kicked out, denied membership, etc.

IMO allowing individuals troops to make their own policy is not good enough either. That is like allowing each business the right to decide is they are going to serve black people. It's a fucked up policy people!!!

And I am tired of this "play for the kids" bullshit. It's a concert. Not a life-saving operation. BSA will get bad press, lose money, and kids will be disappointed and pissed off. That is a good thing if it leads to them getting rid of this fucked up policy. Nobody is going to die if they have to see a shitt(ier) concert, though.

My friends' kids who are cub scouts have been disappointed when I haven't bought from them for fundraising, but I didn't cave and buy something "for the kids." I told them straight up I wasn't purchasing anything from their organization because as a member of the GLBT community wouldn't be allowed to join it.

I'm smoking Camels, but I'm keeping them to myself. I've gotten approximately one email an hour since this started, and gays are already allowed in our chapter. Whatever Carly Rae thinks, gays are very much allowed, it's been a huge issue lately with getting individual chapters to allow them, and now it's barely an issue on the national level. And even that has been broadcast all over the news. She has no excuse not to know any of this if she's just such a big supporter of gay rights. All she's done is disappoint a lot of little boys who are her fan base. Not smart on her part or whoever the PR genius is who thought of this little scam.
--------------------------------------------

Are you Canadian? because the Boy Scouts of Canada do allow out gays to be a part of the organization, which is why Carly probably didn't know about the ban of gays in Boy Scouts of America until now because she's Canadian too.

There are other groups for kids to be involved with, I was involved with a church youth group that was far more accepting of gay people than my local boys scout chapters were.

My dad works for the production company that is producing the shows for the Jamboree, so I have to respond to this because there has been a whole lot going on behind the scenes.

Carly Rae and Train (since they pulled out as well) knew what they was getting into when they signed up several months ago. The controversy over the inclusion/or not of gay members was discussed, and there was a clause in their contracts that specifically stated that they would not make any political statements with concern to BSA. Train full on violated this several days ago with their little announcement that they'd love to play the Jamboree if BSA "made the right decision." Carly Rae pulled from the show without even notifying BSA first (yeah, they found out on Twitter like everyone else). Now, BSA is up almost up shit creek without a paddle because they have 2 months to book 2 good enough artists that aren't afraid of GLAADs antics (and July is tour season so most everyone is already booked). On top of that, Mike Rowe (who always does things with BSA) is considering pulling because he lives in San Fransisco and he doesn't want to have to deal with GLAAD on that kind of a personal level.

The worst is the kids, personally. They actually voted to have Train perform, and now because of stupid political reasons neither entertainer will be there. I wish they'd just shut up and play for the kids, but obviously that won't happen. My dad is betting that the decision that comes out in May will be to let each individual troupe decided who they wish to include (calms a lot of the controversy in some parts of the country, and certain sponsors will come back), but that isn't good enough for GLAAD so they've gone on a campaign to guilt people out of any contact with BSA, regardless of their reasoning behind it.

I'll summarize. Country singers, a couple of non-country singers and some dead people. Even if they are conservative (probably fiscally and not socially) they probably wouldn't perform at this function for the same reasons as Carly Rae (provided that is her true motivation).
