The Girl Scouts may face the Bud Light treatment after a document reveals they're pushing LGBTQ+ Pride Month and allowing girls to earn a 'Fun Patch' for their doings. Daily Wire reported on the document found here that tells Girl Scouts how they can earn patches by participating or doing tasks that are related to Pride Month. Some parts of the document are quoted below:

June is LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer) Pride Month, an annual celebration of the achievements, impact, and contributions of the LGBTQ+ community in the United States. In June we also commemorate the Stonewall uprising which marks the beginning of a movement to outlaw discriminatory laws and practices against LGBTQ+ Americans. As Girl Scouts we deeply value diversity and inclusion. A Girl Scout is a friend and ally to all families. Learning LGBTQ+ vocabulary can help be respectful of our LGBTQ+ friends and families in our community. The following definitions come from the Human Rights Campaign: Defining LGBTQ+

Words for Elementary School Students. Also in this article are additional recommendations to keep in mind when defining terms for children.

Lesbian: People who love people [or are attracted to people] of the same gender. Two women.

Gay: People who love people [or are attracted to people] of the same gender. Two men.

Bisexual: People who love people [or are attracted to people] of more than one gender.

Transgender or Trans: When your gender identity (how you feel) is different than what doctors/midwives assigned to you when you were born (girl/boy or sex assigned at birth).

Queer: People use this word as a way to identify with and celebrate people of all gender identities and all the ways people love each other. When used in a mean way, it is a word that hurts.

We’ve got plenty of activities for you to choose from as you join the LGBTQ+ Pride Month celebration.
