Yes, I know that I could probably Google this and find out the answer for myself, but… why ruin your fun? Here’s my question:
I KNOW THAT THE BOY SCOUTS IS HISTORICALLY A HOMOPHOBIC ORGANIZATION—BUT DOES THIS INCLUDE THE GIRL SCOUTS, TOO? AND IF SO, DOES THIS MEAN I CAN’T BUY THEIR DELICIOUS COOKIES?
According to film editor Erik Henriksen, “I don’t care if the Klan is selling Thin Mints… I’m buying them.” For those who agree with Erik, here is a Girl Scout Cookie Locator. While you’re at it, also let me know which cookies you’d buy from the Klan if they were selling them. Not that I’m suggesting they should.
Let me Google that for you:

i.e. Buy away!
from wikipedia:
No official stand on sexuality issues
Girl Scouts of the USA stated in an October 1991 letter:[39]
As a private organization, Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. respects the values and beliefs of each of its members and does not intrude into personal matters. Therefore, there are no membership policies on sexual preference. However, Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. has firm standards relating to the appropriate conduct of adult volunteers and staff. The Girl Scout organization does not condone or permit sexual displays of any sort by its members during Girl Scout activities, nor does it permit the advocacy or promotion of a personal lifestyle or sexual preference. These are private matters for girls and their families to address.
GSUSA upholds a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on sexuality.[40] The debate over this issue is split between those who feel that the policy is insufficient in preventing discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, and those who question the inclusion of homosexuals.[41][42]
I would buy any cookie from anyone.
Except Mint Milanos. Those are just weird.
recession cookie buying this year:
1 box thin mints
1 box samoas
1 box dulce de leche (they’re just o.k.)
i wish i could afford more.

Someone should’ve told my Leader and her husband. Let’s just say their truck was a rock’n when we went camping.
I would buy Oreos from the Klan because it would probably tear them up seeing whitey surrounded by the blacks.
girl scout cookies are made with cottonseed oil. if you want to eat non-food grade oil than go ahead and lube up with those do-si-dos…
I bought 2 boxes of Dose Do’s, 2 boxes of Samoa’s, 1 box of Thin Mints, and 2 boxes of Tag a Longs.
Ethics are for dumbies.
If ethics are for dumbies why didn’t you steal them and shiv the little cunt holding the box?
I first thought you were asking whether or not it was ethical to buy cookies FOR Girl Scouts rather than FROM them. Like you were trying to lure them into your beat up old van or something.
For anyone else who made that mistake, the answer is “no, it’s not ethical.” The more you know…
Thank God I read this first Justin. I was just about to go pick up my reserved Zipcar econovan and load it with snickerdoodles.
Close one.
Did the mormons destroy the girl scouts like they destroyed the boy scouts?
It’s unethical, but not because of gay rights issues: Girl Scout cookies are over-priced and suck.
@penthesilea I hope you didn’t come a knockin’.
