>>Elliott: Hi, there! Welcome to SourceFed!
>>Lee: You’re safe here. Hi. I’m Lee Newton.
>>Elliott: Hi. I’m Elliott Morgan.
>>Lee: Welcome to SourceFed.
>>Elliott: You’re safe here.
>>Elliott: Guys, I used to work for the Walt Disney Company. LOVED IT. They valued their
employees like only a giant, faceless corporation can. I had my own ID number, and I think I
even met my boss once.
>>Lee: Sounds like a dream, Elliott! A magical DREAM! But The Walt Disney Company has decided
to strip funding to the Boy Scouts of America—an organization which has repeatedly refused
to let me join because of my *** orientation.
>>Elliott: You don’t think it had something to do with—
>>Lee: With what, Morgan? Say it. SAY IT!
>>Elliott: You’re a girl, Lee.
>>Lee: That’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me.
>>Elliott: Beginning in 2015, the big mouse will stop giving the BSA dough because of
their policy that bans gay adult leaders in the organization. Last year, the Boy Scouts
of America lifted a ban gay youth. NOT GOOD ENOUGH! I don’t like knowing that if I’m
lost in the forest one day, my only hope of survival will be someone who learned how to
start a fire by a definitively straight person. What kind of a post-apocalyptic world is that?!
>>Lee: NOT MY POST-APOCALYPTIC WORLD THAT’S FOR FLIPPING SURE.
>>Elliott: The Boy Scouts are quote “disappointed” by this development. This Sunday, Deron Smith
said that the funding cut would prevent the organization from being able to more affectively
serve children.
>>Lee: The funding itself has never gone straight to the Boy Scouts. Instead, Disney does this
thing where they have employees volunteer and the money goes to Boy Scouts troops. So
even when Disney is charitable, it’s… you know… not.
>>Elliott: So on one hand, you have a publically-traded private organization, and on the other hand,
you have a partially-governmentally-funded private organization. And in the middle, America.
>>Lee: The tide of social progress might be slow, waning with the moon of cultural leniencies,
but one must not falter—to be anchored in one’s own truth is the only way to keep
your head above water in these turbulent days.
>>Elliott: Does that mean anything?
>>Lee: No, but I kinda wanna go fishing now.
>>Elliott: Guys, what do you think of this? Should companies who do a lot of good but
have controversial policies have funding stripped? Any personal Boy Scouts stories? You guys
gonna survive the apocalypse? Bet you are.
>>Lee: That’s so cool. Good for you.
>>Elliott: GOOD FOR YOU.
>>Lee: Like this video, you *** muffins.
>>Elliott: I’m Elliott Morgan.
>>Lee: I’m Lee Newton, and if anyone from the Boy Scouts of America is out there, I’m
still willing to join. Yes, I am female, but I have a unisex name and a pension for partying!
