In a backlash to the Boy Scouts of America’s (BSA) decision to embrace the presence of openly Gay scouts in its ranks, a new group which has not yet named itself, has announced it will begin to operate as an alternative to the BSA starting next January 1st.

Using lofty phrases like “character development” the new group declared it will be generally modeled on Christian principles of chastity outside of marriages between one man and one woman. New Group (NG) will meet in Nashville in September to address what it says are the concerns of “tens of thousands” of individual scouts, scout leaders and sponsoring organizations troubled by the BSA’s sharp lurch to the left on this crucial issue.

Openly straight does not mean sexually active. I know a lot of married men who are openly straight but . . .

Why would openly gay automatically mean they are acting on that urge?
