It would simply reverse the boy scouts position that being homosexual is inconsistent with the obligations in the scout oath and scout law. To be "morally" straight and clean in thought, word and deed, should have nothing to do with ones sexual orientation; it should not mean one is automatically noncompliant with being a scout just because they are gay.

Chosing a deviant sexual preference is immoral.

Why are you opposed to freedom of association?

Do you have evidence to demonstrate that it is genetic?

Where is the "gay gene"?

The burden of proof is not upon me.
