Eviction notice

In a story light on the justice and heavy on waxing poetic about days gone-by, The New York Times writes that the Boy Scout group in Philadelphia will have to vacate its downtown building in June after the group and the city council failed to reconcile over non-discrimination language.

Basically, the city cannot and will not lease property to a group that knowingly discriminates against homosexuals, no matter how much the group resonates with the Good Ol' Boys at the Times.

Just read the lede on the story:

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 4 — For three years the Philadelphia council of the Boy Scouts of America held its ground. It resisted the city’s request to change its discriminatory policy toward gay people despite threats that if it did not do so, the city would evict the group from a municipal building where the Scouts have resided practically rent free since 1928.
