The Boy Scouts of America is considering dropping a longtime ban on gay members, according to a spokesman.

“The BSA is discussing potentially removing the national membership restriction regarding sexual orientation,'' spokesman Deron Smith said in a statement obtained by FoxNews.com. "This would mean there would no longer be any national policy regarding sexual orientation, but that the chartered organizations that oversee and deliver Scouting would accept membership and select leaders consistent with their organization’s mission, principles or religious beliefs."

I don’t believe it, it’ll never happen, hopefully liberal propaganda.

Wow!! Definitely, the post of the day, if not the post of this entire generation. It’s what I call a “zinger” and it’s so true. Lord help us.

With this capitulation, the scouts will be removing one more obstacle in the way of boys being groomed for sexual submission to homo predophiles(spelling intentional).

The pederast lobby gets what they wanted all along.

’ attempting to turn back the clock...this time to Sodom and Gomorrah.’

More correctly crating a social order where same sex relationships are normalized to the point where they are more accepted than the ethical and moral order of Christianity. This would be similar to the Classical world in say the Second Century AD. Even men considered upright, virtuous, and fine gentlemen such as the Emperor Trajan had ephebes in the official household for his pleasure and relaxation. Only excessive behavior such as that of another highly regarded imperial personage , Hadrian, over the death of his ‘beloved boy’ Antinous was thought to be bad form. I am fairly secular but can't but be struck by the determination of the liberal elites apparent desire to recreate a paganistic pantheistic culture. Only this is gutless paganism with none of the toughness and martial virtues of the men who ruled Macedonia and Alexander's successors or who held the ancient world under the sway of Rome.Instead what is sought is a weak socialistic humanistic order embracing pacifism, consumerism, hedonism, and legalism. This order will not last long before either the Jihadists or the Chinese.

Adult gay men and boys do not belong together for the same reason that you don’t have straight adult men as the supervisors of girl scouts.


That is exactly right. I was reading comments on Facebook’s WTAE Pittsburgh page, I hope you don’t mind that I posted what you wrote. I was trying to think of a short, succint, powerful reply to all the pro-gays on there, and what you wrote stood out. What parent in their right mind would want their young boy with a man who is attracted to men (and boys)??!!!

Doctor, there are many within the Beltway that work for this end either in public clamoring for ‘human rights’ or in closeted darkness backstabbing those who have a strong Bible based Christian world view or just a strong sense of traditional western/Christian values. Witness the crucifixion of Sarah Palin. Much of this came from within the GOP and not all of it was politically motivated. There are many in the GOP who reside in comfortable closets and keep their knives sharp to backstab anyone who opposes the queer agenda.

Here's a list of all the badges:

They don't yet have one for abortion, community organizing or interior decorating. On the other hand, they still have badges for rifle and shotgun shooting.

Same here. What that says about society isn’t very good.

This is Long Overdue. Bigotry and Hatred and Homophobia need to be a thing of the past.

So says Rebekah Pele Marie on Facebook. WTAE Pittsburgh posted the story.Her comment got 19 likes. Just one example of many, many pro-homosexual’s out there. Having your pre-teen boy sleep in a tent with a homo = good mothering.

Homosexual men taking little boys out in the woods overnight...what could go wrong?

BTW-When will the girl scouts remove its restriction on letting male leaders share tents with little girls?
(It is girl scout policy that male leaders can not share a tent even with their own daughters)

You can choose to become an Eagle Scout, or a Flamingo Scout, based on your preference.

“According to Pete Williams’ report, the Irving-based organization is going to remove the ban from their national rules and leave the decision about whether to admit homosexuals to local organizations.

“The chartered organizations that oversee and deliver scouting would accept membership and select leaders consistent with their organization’s mission, principles or religious beliefs,” Deron Smith, a spokesman for the Boy Scouts’ national organization, told NBC News”

So the National organization caved into political pressure and blackmail from the queer supporters. BUT, individual “chartered oganizations” will still call the shots.

So we will have queer Boy Scout Troups all over ObamaLand, and no where in the South and the other states that didn’t vote for this queer-loving SOB.

If so, that’s the end of the Boy Scouts.

If they do this, get the boys out of the boy scouts, pronto! Before gays were banned, boys were abused big time in the Scouts. Homo perverts openly set up a vast, Nation-wide pedo ring in the scouts until it became a libality.

Really, men don’t necessiarily care if boys are abused. Penn state and the catholic church are not that unusual within large institutions. Parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandmas and grandpas need to care.

They need lawyers to go after the scouts if they resume the unsavory abuse activities of the past.

WHY gay teens increased 900% since 1980?

Bad parenting, pornography and now brainwashing kids with homo propaganda are not the main reasons.
The main reason by far is the hidden use of the drug BPA.

Here’s their facebook statement:

MEDIA STATEMENT

Boy Scouts of America
Monday, Jan. 28, 2013
Attributable to: Deron Smith, Director of Public Relations

“For more than 100 years, Scouting’s focus has been on working together to deliver the nation’s foremost youth program of character development and values-based leadership training. Scouting has always been in an ongoing dialogue with the Scouting family to determine what is in the best interest of the organization and the young people we serve.

“Currently, the BSA is discussing potentially removing the national membership restriction regarding sexual orientation. This would mean there would no longer be any national policy regarding sexual orientation, and the chartered organizations that oversee and deliver Scouting would accept membership and select leaders consistent with each organization’s mission, principles, or religious beliefs. BSA members and parents would be able to choose a local unit that best meets the needs of their families.

“The policy change under discussion would allow the religious, civic, or educational organizations that oversee and deliver Scouting to determine how to address this issue. The Boy Scouts would not, under any circumstances, dictate a position to units, members, or parents. Under this proposed policy, the BSA would not require any chartered organization to act in ways inconsistent with that organization’s mission, principles, or religious beliefs.”
