Say what you will about the LDS Church but this is an indication of the Church's firm commitment to doing what's right.

If the LSD leaves the BSA, where they require their patrons do their social service, the BSA will dissolve.

“In December, however, the LDS church launched a website encouraging members to be more compassionate in discussions about homosexuality. The website instructs Mormons to be loving and respectful toward gays and lesbians, while appealing to gay and lesbian Mormons to stay in the church.”

It’s the opposite to the Catholic church. The leadership are the ones shifting left.

"...Nearly half said they would quit the Boy Scouts if the ban on gays is lifted..."

Which is exactly what some kind of people want.

Why would gays want to belong to an organization that they’ve said for decades is a bunch of bigoted homophobes. Wouldn’t it be easier to form the “Gay Scouts” and go on about your business if your goal really was to allow gay youth to participate in scouting??

I know... /sarc

Many Utah scouts against???

The title implies there are some FOR, which is a little hard to believe.

The LDS Church is not the only church that has scouting in Utah! The Catholic Church and others do too! I know the Catholic Church does, because one of our parish deacons has been, and still is the Scout Master in our Parish! The Girl Scouts have a lady who has a Girl Scout troop with members of our parish, as well!

Nearly all of the troops, 99 percent to be exact, are sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Scouts are celebrating 100 years in Utah this year.

Say what you will about the LDS Church but this is an indication of the Church's firm commitment to doing what's right.

No need to SAY anything - the church's action speaks for itself.

"We just want to be what we've always been," said Rick Barnes, executive of the Boy Scouts' Great Salt Lake Council.

THIS is quite interesting...


"Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned;

and I will go still further and say, take this revelation, or any other revelation that the Lord has given,

and deny it in your feelings, and I promise that you will be damned.

Brigham Young - JoD 3:266 (July 14, 1855)
