In some cases, I'd agree with you. But c'mom, the boy scouts not letting in boys because they're gay is discrimination. They're not a religious organization, so they don't even have that mythical crutch to lean on. It's basically saying that gay men are not men, which is rude and inaccurate.

You do understand that the objective of planned parenthood is just that, PLANNED. To stop these kids from getting pregnant at young ages, prevent STDs, promote safe sex and so on.
If he did and took the oath seriously, he professed a belief in God.
