Boys can now join Girl Scouts of Colorado if they live ‘life as a girl’

 Seven-year-old Bobby Montoya wanted to join the Girls Scouts, but was initially turned down because he is a boy.  However, vice president of communications with Girl Scouts of Colorado, Rachelle Trujillo says he is welcome to join the club as long as he is “living life as a girl.”

CNSNews quotes Trujillo:

“We make the distinction that if a child is living life as a girl and the family brings the child to us and says my daughter wants to be a Girl Scout, we welcome her.”

 The news clip shows Bobby with shoulder length hair playing with his dolls and talking about his My Little Pony.

Isn’t that gender-stereotyping?  What’s wrong with girls dressing in pants and playing with Lego’s?  What if Bobby likes toy cars, does that mean he can’t join Girl Scouts?  Because cars aren’t girly enough?  How will they quantify this? 

If our society doesn't have the intelligence needed to determine the gender of a child, how on earth can we judge whether or not a child is "living life as a girl"?  

And what about the girl scouts who are living lives as girls because they are girls?  Once Bobby joins, what’ll it be like in the bathroom?  At the pool?  At sleepovers and camp?  When Bobby turns 16?

This is a pitiful case.  But allowing this boy to join Girl Scouts will create many more problems than it purports to solve.

Should a boy be a princess on Halloween and two mothers act as mom and dad for life?

The LA Times reports a major dilemma.  Luc Villeneuve wants to be a princess for Halloween.  His two mothers Anna and Louisa Villeneuve want to encourage him to be whoever he wants, and yet, they don’t want his tender feelings hurt if people respond with confusion or negativity if he goes trick-or-treating in a gown and tiara.

Anna explained:

"I want to encourage him to stand up and be himself," she said. "But my 4-year-old is too little and too fragile to know where the social boundaries are. And I don't want his feelings hurt on what should be one of his happiest nights."

 What to wear for Halloween is a minor issue.  The big lesson Luc needs to learn is how to be a boy and how to develop into a man.  Who is going to teach him that when he has two mothers but no father?

The entire premise of gender-segregated marriage is that two mothers are exactly equal to a mother and a father.  These two women with same-sex attraction have been soul-searching and obsessing about allowing their son to pretend to be a princess for one night of Halloween fun. 

Yet Anna and Louisa have no qualms about posing as mother and father for Luc’s entire life? 

If a mom paints her son’s toenails hot pink, does that mean she’s about to divorce his dad and hook up with a woman?

Unfortunately for Jenna Lyons’ son, it appears that way.  Dr. Keith Ablow of Foxnews noted a problem brewing back when J. Crew creative director Lyons displayed a photograph of herself painting her young son Beckett’s toenails pink.  The catalogue caption read:  “Lucky for me, I ended up with a boy whose favorite color is pink.  Toenail painting is way more fun in neon.”

At the time Ablow was ridiculed for finding fault with Lyons utilizing her son to broadcast gender bending mores in a catalogue viewed by millions. Now it appears it was prophetic. According to media reports, Jenna Lyons is divorcing her husband Vincent Mazeau whom she married in 2002 and is in a relationship with an unnamed woman. 

Ablow comments:

 “ . . .my worry that Ms. Lyons’ might be expressing her own discomfort with masculinity and projecting it onto her son—and mine, and yours—seems to have been justified."

Same-sex attraction is as important as math and social studies says CT principal

The Hartford Courant reports:  “In a partnership with the nonprofit True Colors, one Quest team raised $10,000 to show the musical [Zanna, Don’t!] three times at Hartford High this month.”

 Zanna Don’t! is a musical about “a reverse world in which straight people are outcasts and the most popular boy is the flamboyant star of the chess team.”  Conflict arises when his love interest turns out to be a “closet heterosexual.”

Conflict also occurred in the audience when several students, offended by seeing two guys kiss onstage, left the show.  As 17 year old Oneida Fernandez explained, “They don’t understand men kissing men.”

But it is crucial for them to understand it, says Adam Johnson, principal of Hartford High’s Law and Government Academy.  Johnson claims, “This is as important of a topic to discuss as anything in math, anything in social studies.” 

In fact, David Chambers, principal of the nursing academy decided homosexuality is so important, he chose not to send an opt-out letter to parents.

In health care, said Chambers, they will have to treat people who are different from them. They will need a sense of empathy toward gays and lesbians, or at least exposure to that which makes them uncomfortable.

 This is what happens when states pass same sex marriage law.  (Connecticut legalized gender segregated marriage in 2008.) Homosexuality becomes as important a topic as math and exposing public school children to live action same-sex attraction against their will is called “anti-bullying.”  

‘Unwanted’ girls in India change names in effort to battle gender discrimination

The ratio of girls to boys in the Indian district of Satara is 881 to 1,000 according to Foxnews.  The culture favors males in part because it is so expensive to provide dowries for females.  Gendercide via abortion or neglect has created the appalling loss of girls.

To combat gender discrimination, hospitals in India “are legally banned from revealing the gender of an unborn fetus in order to prevent sex-selective abortions, though evidence suggests the information gets out.”  To correct the gender imbalance, the government has tried other initiatives such as free meals, free education, and cash bonuses.

On October 22, 2011, another effort to support and honor girls in India took place in which girls chose their own names.  Two hundred eighty-five girls named “Nakusa” or “Nakushi,” which means “Unwanted” in Hindi, chose new names. 

From Foxnews:

Some girls chose to name themselves after Bollywood stars such as "Aishwarya" or Hindu goddesses like "Savitri." Some just wanted traditional names with happier meanings, such as "Vaishali," or "prosperous, beautiful and good.""Now in school, my classmates and friends will be calling me this new name, and that makes me very happy," said a 15-year-old girl who had been named Nakusa by a grandfather disappointed by her birth. She chose the new name "Ashmita," which means "very tough" or "rock hard" in Hindi.

Remember that old motto?  Every child a wanted child. 

Is it time for a new mantra?  Want every child.
