I think "eventually" is a long ways down the road. Scouting is so entwined with religious organizations that it is going to take a literal leap of faith before gays will be fully accepted.

Will they replace "morally straight" with "morally straight (or gay)" or perhaps "morally nuanced" in the oath?

On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.

Much like if anyone has a negative view of blacks or Jews they would get blasted.

No one cares about a stupidly biased baptist source.

Some of the posts on this thread are the height of idiocy. Revel in your ignorance and hate.

I love this paragraph:

Quote:

"Few, if any, are suggesting the Boy Scouts kick out boys based on their
particular temptations. We don't, and shouldn't do that in our churches, much
less in the Scouts," Moore told Baptist Press. "But this change is more than
this. It doesn't speak in terms of temptations but in terms of the claiming of
a sexually politicized identity as morally neutral."
What does that even mean? Either they do and will accept gay scouts or they won't. What this paragraph should read is "We realize we are on the wrong side of history, but we don't care. We would publicly flog all gays if it didn't land us in hot water."

Hey, if calling me makes me a bigot prevents someone's kid from getting "rear-ended" at a young age, it's a price I'm willing to pay. No new dances around the campfire, no new conflicts in their lives.

We need some new signs of "No Barney's Frank n' Beans" with the red line through it asap. You can always take your kid to a nudist beach if you feel so inclined to expose him to the male/shemale genitalia you know. That way, you can be the first parent/angry conflicted on your block to brag about how you enlightened your kids loafers. That's your call.

As for the 90% of the rest of us. No thanks. I have no desire to pry our kids away from anything let alone "Adam and Steve". Sooner or later Fiero, someone has to draw the line. We chose your new "right of conflicted passage" for just that.
