I was a scout in the 70's. Not once did I hear anyone say anything against homosexuals. Sorry but Scouting wasn't about sitting kids down and discussing how to kill gays or how to exclude them from society(BSA is not the totality of society). It was more like planning camping trips, doing merit badges and playing pool in a garage. Maybe that's changed, but that's the way is was in my scout troop. By the way this was in the South(South Carolina to be exact) where, according to left, all bigotry lives in the U.S.

Personally I have no problem with the decision.

No, no. The BSA has removed it's policy of barring homosexual youths from joining the BSA based on sexual orientation alone. They did not remove said policy for homosexual adults, however.

It's worded weirdly, but that's what he's trying to say.

Then make the Gay Scouts even "better" than equal and make it an organization all would flock to. Oh, what's that? Better to take a well-established and respected organization and bastardize it to suit you, right? Plus, you get an arena in which to press for normalization of your behavior and mold the minds of young boys... Plus maybe recruit a few while at camp.

Speaking of schadenfreude, seems that quite a few of you have your panties in a knot also.

So what's going on today? I'm not prejudice against gay people, although I must admit to you all that I do not like a gay person who acts and dresses like a female; whenever I do have children I don't want them growing up confused about gender and wanting to be that male who is dressing and sounding like a female.

But I really would like to know the cause in the uprise of gay individuals or more specifically the youth.
The rise in homosexuality is the result of the birth control pills that their mothers have taken for decades prior to conception, RBGH hormones in food sources and the promotion of homosexual media propaganda. A guy who behaves like a girl is not normal, end of story.

Um homosexuality has always been a part of human culture. Its just being recognized more.

Like wife beating. Always been there in society, but never fully brought out into the light.

There is no rise, but just a more open acknowledgement of its existence(plus a push politically by gays to be accepted)

IDC. If I ever have kids I'm not putting them into boyscouts with a gay scout leader...

Then again after this news I probably won't put them in boyscouts period.
