UPS no longer delivers support to Boy Scouts of America

A group of Eagle Scouts and their families marched with supporters in the Gainesville (FL) Pride Parade
and Festival as Scouts for Equality in the Inclusive Scouting Network in October. As Boy Scouts of America continues to double down on their "no gays allowed" policy, they are watching their corporate sponsorship base crumble.

Today the United Parcel Services (UPS) announced on their website:

The UPS Foundation seeks to support organizations that are in alignment with our focus areas, guidelines, and non-discrimination policy. UPS and The UPS Foundation do not discriminate against any person or organization with regard to categories protected by applicable law, as well as other categories protected by UPS and The UPS Foundation in our own policies. These include, but are not limited to race, gender, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran or military status, pregnancy, age and religion.

LGBT rights org GLAAD has confirmed "organizations that conflict with UPS non-discrimination policy will not be considered eligible for funding" which means going forward Boy Scouts will be ineligible for grants from UPS through their "Focus on Giving" program. Intel Corporation made a similar decision earlier this year to not support groups whose non-discrimination policy is not inline with their own corporate policy. Intel's matching grants were at the time the single biggest source of revenue among programs of its kind for the Boy Scouts.
