Islossningen för USA:s HBT-befolkning under det senaste året har varit synnerligen märklig. Det handlar inte bara om HD:s historiska domslut om könsneutrala äktenskap över hela USA. Det handlar också helt nya attityder till HBT människor, en utveckling som ingen riktigt kan förklara. Men som vi nu ser exempel på över hela USA. Som nu senast i delstaten Washington i nordvästra USA där en grupp flickscouter fick en gigantisk gåva på hela $100 000 från en donator. En donation som dock kom med ett “giftpiller”. Genom att acceptera donationen så lovade gruppen att vägra acceptera transflickor.
Sarah Larimer skriver i Washington Post om vad som hände sen: Girl Scouts choose transgender girls over $100,000 donation
Megan Ferland told Seattle Metropolitan that the Girl Scouts of Western Washington were “thrilled” to pull in a $100,000 donation earlier this year.
Thrilled! And who wouldn’t be? One hundred thousand dollars is quite the haul. So, yeah, the reaction was pretty big, too.
“We have these little clapper thingies, and the clappers go mad when we get that kind of gift,” Ferland, the council’s chief executive, told the magazine.
But then Ferland learned that the gift came with a stipulation, Seattle Met reported: The donor wanted a promise that the money wouldn’t be used to support transgender girls.
So that donation — all $100,000 of it — went back to the donor.
“Girl Scouts is for every girl,” Ferland told the magazine. “And every girl should have the opportunity to be a Girl Scout if she wants to.”
This week, the Girl Scouts of Western Washington set about trying to recoup the funds they thought they once had. They didn’t try to hit up the original donor again but instead started an online fundraising campaign.
…
By midday Tuesday, the day-old campaign had already reached its goal.
scoutsThe Seattle Met reports that it’s the second time “in less than five years” that a Ferland-led Girl Scout council “has taken a public stand to support transgender girls.”
En solskenshistoria som visar hur USA nu håller på att förändras.
