A candidate for the Washington State house of representatives said the
Girl Scouts of America is a hotbed of lesbianism and atheism.
Hans Zeiger, the 25-year-old Republican nominee for Washington's 25th district seat, once wrote on a conservative website that the Girl Scouts organization has been spared the same scrutiny of the Boy Scouts of America has faced regarding its rules against gay inclusion because the group allows lesbians and atheists, Change.org reports. He also charged the Girl Scouts with being a "pro-abortion, feminist training corps."
The blog where Zeiger has made many similar statements is being swept of some of his more offensive posts, according to the report.
Zeiger, who was an Eagle Scout, is the author of two books, Reagan's Children: Taking Back the City on the Hill and Get Off My Honor! The Assault on the Boy Scouts of America.
