Texas Gov. Against Gays In Scouts

Texas Governor Rick Perry describes his attachment to the Boy Scouts as "intensely personal". That's why he's decided to pen a book – On My Honor: Why the American Values of the Boy Scouts Are Worth Fighting For – that defends the group's anti-gay attitudes:

Perry, a Republican, targets the American Civil Liberties Union as the primary force behind a leftist push to accept homosexuality and challenge Scouting's duty to God.

"The ACLU and its allies seemed determined to force the Boy Scouts to bend to their version of what is right and wrong," he writes.

If intimidation and the threat of lawsuits succeed, Perry writes, "the culture war will be lost before we know it. If that happens, we will find ourselves living in a world where moral relativism reigns and individualism runs amok."

Wait, that sounds surprisingly like a capitalist liberal democracy… What a nightmare!

Perry makes sure to celebrate the gays, saying he values our little pink lives, but insists the Scouts should eschew sexual discussions of all types, which is really just a way of telling gay folk to keep a lid on it.

I am shocked. I would never have thought that a republican from texas would be anti-gay. Will wonders never cease?

I'm gonna have to visit Texas and blow him.

You know, take one for the pink team.

Never know, he might change his tune.

Please, Maverick… every time Perry is on TV, i swear he looks more and more like a giant closet case. Larry Craig with a full head of hair.

every time he talks, i shake my head at just how gay he sounds… gay gay gay.

and i'm not the only texan who thinks that either.

He's got a colorist somewhere. Ronald Reagan notwithstanding, no man reaches his age without some gray flecks. I wonder if he also colors his chest hair and pubes.

He looks like Chris Sarandon…Prince Humperdink from the Princess Bride. I guess as a Scout, "He can track a faggot on a cloudy day. He can find you."

Dawster,

Living in NYC I've not had the giddy pleasure of hearing his voice. I will google him. Gosh, I'm all wet thinking about hearing his voice.

My gaydar went up as soon as I saw his pic. Same thing happened with McGreevey. I thought he was hot until he came out.

I'm sure it's a phase. I'd still hit that though. Just for the scandal….. Really, I'm telling the truth.

Maverick69:

You would never get to "hit that." He has people protecting his hair lest it break.

So so so so SICK of living in the same city as this man.

I know for a fact that Perry swings both ways. He's tried to bed my brother (who's straight) multiple times at events in Tex. What a douchebag hypocrite. Karma's a bitch, buddy.
