I am just curious how other parents are dealing with.

Now I am worry about having my son sharing the tent, the shower, the playground with a gay kid hitting on him. I think there should be some separation right? Might as well combine the Boy Scouts with the Girl Scouts and let the orgy begin? Something doesn't feel morally right here or is just me being crazy?

Again please keep it positive and constructive

After vote allowing gay kids to become Boy Scouts, some families call it quits - U.S. News

But there has always been gay kids in the scouts. Was your son affected by this. Were you worried about your son before this ruling. You want to keep this positive but it sickens me how these kids are discriminated against.

If you wanted to keep this thread 'positive and constructive', why did you make such negative and destructive comments?

It's cowardly and hypocritical to make such a disgusting attack like that, then tell to other posters to keep it 'positive and constructive'.

Why is it unacceptable for parents to pull their kids out of an organization with which they no longer feel comfortable? Labeling them intolerant or bigoted just shows another type of hypocritical narrow-mindedness.
They ARE being intolerant and bigoted. That's their choice. But why do you want to pretend they aren't?

All the research shows that most men who rape other men are most often heterosexual. It's not about sexual attraction it's about power, control and humiliation.

Just because someone doesn't condone a behavior doesn't make them hate anyone. As far as likening sexuality to color, that is ridiculous. Sexuality is a choice, color is God-given.
You forgot to add the word 'ignorant' to that list.

Sexual hormones and the brain: an essential alliance for sexual identity and sexual orientation (2010)
Endocr Dev. 2010;17:22-35. Epub 2009 Nov 24. Garcia-Falgueras A, Swaab DF.
The fetal brain develops during the intrauterine period in the male direction through a direct action of testosterone on the developing nerve cells, or in the female direction through the absence of this hormone surge. In this way, our gender identity (the conviction of belonging to the male or female gender) and sexual orientation are programmed or organized into our brain structures when we are still in the womb.

There is no indication that social environment after birth has an effect on gender identity or sexual orientation.
Oh dear. Marcus will lose his head.

Until parents and classmates fully accept gay people, a child young enough to be a Boy/Eagle Scout likely will not open himself up to the bullying that would ensue knowing the culture of the organization/parents (if they've even realized it at that point). I think the Boy Scouts have overblown the issue into something that actually matters, when in reality, not many 9-year-old boys care either way since they aren't thinking about sex anyway.
