Also let Girl Scouts USA know how many cookies you’re buying in support this year here: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/thanks-girl-scouts-this-year-im-eating-thin-mints-for-equal-rights/
The comments on the petition are completely making my day. Long lists of cookies and some really touching anecdotes.
Thin Mints for Equal Rights! This needs to be a t-shirt.
Taken from the Honest Girl Scouts campaign. For a campaign trying to get people /not/ to buy cookies and /not/ support the GSUSA, this is doing an awful lot to suddenly make me want /to/ support the GSUSA. (and I’m saying this a a former Girl Scout of about 6 years who hasn’t bought cookies in years because they’re too expensive).
I see so much acceptance here, and especially in a time in children’s lives where acceptance is so important, taking that away from them is just cruel.
BUY ALL THE COOKIES!
The sign behind her in the video has the url for honestgirlscouts.com, an organization dedicated to eliminating girl scouts’ acceptance of the gays and sexual education.
After watching this video (twice! Ugh.) I really wanted to lay into this girl and call her all sorts of names and all sorts of swear words but when it comes down to it, she’s just a kid standing up for her beliefs. What she believes is wrong, misinformed and kind of hateful but it’s her right to ask for a boycott. She even goes as far as to suggest you can donate money directly to the GSUSA instead of buying cookies to send a message so I’m not going to tear her a new one. I’m just going to do what I do best.
Eat the shit out of some Girl Scout Cookies.

“Guess Who Just Sold Me Ten Boxes of Girl Scout Cookies?”, Young Notions An article about a Scout’s plea for people to boycott Girl Scout Cookies to send a message that accepting transgender girls into Scouts isn’t acceptable. The author of the article says it best: ”This is going to be the tastiest counter-protest ever.” (Source: youngnotions.com) |
