Girl Scouts return $100,000 donation to transphobic donor -- and then raise the money back in a day

"Girl Scouts is for every girl," said Megan Ferland, CEO of the Girl Scouts of Western Washington.

Earlier this year, the Girl Scouts of Western Washington received a donation of $100,000. They were thrilled – that amount of money comprises nearly a third of the organization’s financial assistance program, and it makes a huge difference to the girls they serve.

Then, they learned that the donor had made the gift on one condition: It was not to be used to support transgender girls, which the Girl Scouts has been doing for years. So the Scouts returned the gift. Every dollar.

To make up for the huge dent in their finances, they just launched an Indiegogo fundraiser to raise back the $100,000 and use it for every girl who needs them, regardless of whether or not the girl is transgender. In one day, they’ve already far surpassed their goal, raising over $175,000 and counting. And there are still 29 days of their online campaign remaining. 

The Seattle Met reports that it’s the second time “in less than five years” that a Girl Scout council [led by chief executive Megan Ferland] “has taken a public stand to support transgender girls.”

From the magazine:

In 2012, when she headed the organization’s Colorado council, a 7-year-old transgender girl in Denver was denied entry to a troop. Although the council had never specifically said that it accepted transgender girls, the national organization had always made inclusivity the foundation of its mission. So after checking with the council’s attorney, Ferland issued a public statement welcoming transgender girls and explaining that the council was working to find a troop for the girl who’d been rejected. “Every girl that is a Girl Scout is a Girl Scout because her parent or guardian brings her to us and says, ‘I want my child to participate,‘” Ferland says. “And I don’t question whether or not they’re a girl.”

Absolutely incredible. I am the best kind of speechless.

BLURRBBB NIIIIGHT::::: Bucky and the reader having a huge, screaming, throwing stuff against the walls fight, and everyone else all thinks they cheated on each other or smthn like that but it turns out that they’re arguing over smthn really small and silly like a game or how to pronounce a certain word or whatever

Idek what this is 😂

“Un-fucking-believable!” It was the first thing that graced Steve’s ears when he stepped over the threshold. His eyebrows raised at the voice, freezing. Very slowly, he closed the door behind him as you continued to scream.

“You absolute heathen! I can’t believe I married you!”

Steve took a deep breath. Maybe he shouldn’t be here. This sounded bad.

“Oh, I’m the heathen? As if you’re right about everything! If I had known this earlier, I never would have proposed!”

Steve frowned and moved into the living room, eyes falling on a fuming Bucky and an even angrier Y/N. Their faces were red, and Steve could see Y/N’s hands physically shaking. Bucky’s eyes fell on Steve.

“Oh good, you’re here. Maybe you can tell us who’s right in this situation.”

Steve took a step back, raising his hands. “Uh, I don’t think I should make decisions here-”

“Of course you want to ask him.” Y/N interrupted, crossing her arms. “Of course he’ll side with you. He’s your best friend.”

Steve shook his head but Bucky grabbed his shoulders, looking him in the eye.

“It’s a simple question Steve.” He said. “I know you won’t take sides.”

“Of course not.” Steve sighed, knowing he would have to say something and he wasn’t getting out of this.

“Tell me, and answer truthfully.” Bucky spoke. “What do you put in the bowl first? Milk or cereal?”

Steve stared at Bucky, eyes wide. “What?”

“Answer the question, Steve.” Y/N stepped forward now, intense gaze meeting his. “Milk or cereal?”

Steve looked between both their faces, raising an incredulous eyebrow. “That’s what you guys are fighting about?”

Silence.

“It’s an important question.” Y/N finally replied.

Steve groaned and ran a hand through his hair, not even finding it in him to laugh. “You two are unbelievable.”

“What?” Bucky asked.

“Talking about ending your marriage because of how you eat cereal?”

Y/N snorted. “I’m not going to live with some uncultured swine who puts milk before cereal.”

Bucky let out a sarcastic laugh. “That’s the only way to do it. That’s how I’ve always done it.”

“And what makes you the king of cereal-eating manners?”

Steve sighed and pressed his lips together in order to not laugh, turning around and heading to the door. The last thing he heard was Bucky counting on his fingers why milk should be before cereal. Then, the door closed.

Things he did: THAT☝☝

Can I just say that to this day I still find it so amazing how this much this Marvel character is loved.

Bucky fucking Barnes.

His actor has millions of followers, mainly because of his character. Bucky has over one hundred thousand fics (not including the ones on platforms like Tumblr or Wattpad) hundreds of YouTube edits, an entire fucking fandom devoted to him.

It’s interesting because most would say that compared to say, Steve Rogers or Peter Parker, he doesn’t have as enough clout, but let me just paint the picture for you...

Bucky Barnes has over 100k fanfics, millions of fans, hundreds of edits and fan art, a prominent and huge fanbase...all this and:

• He has only ever said 130 words in the entire fucking MCU.

• He has never had more than 40 minutes of screen time in a 20+ movie franchise, and half of that screen time he didn’t even talk.

Honesty if that doesn’t just show how powerful and amazing this character is, then I don’t know what to tell ya.

This boy, right here...

This fucking prince.

He damn well deserves this new tv show. We’re going from 40 minutes of screen time to getting six hours of screen time.

Bucky Barnes deserves it all.

I also wanted to add, for those of you who might think “130 sounds like a lot”, this is what 130 words looks like:

That’s out of 50 hours of screen time.

Our boy did that.
