“The problem is they will demand the Scouts accommodate them.”

Yup. And the first time a parent refuses to let their son tent with a teenage homosexual unsupervised, there will be a lawsuit.

First, form your own boy scouting group that allows homosexuals in. They have the right of Free Association, just as the Boy Scouts of America do.

Second, this is defacto admittance of homosexual leaders. If you allow a youth “homosexual” in, who then goes on to become an Eagle Scout, how do you deny him a leadership position or a position as a counselor when he’s 19?

The BSA just needs to say “no”, keep the existing policy in place and let the liberals make up their own group. Let them walk.

If the vast majority of Christian faiths that actually sponsor the scouts protested this decision it would never happen. I know for a fact that my church will dissolve their association with the BSA if this goes through. And that will be sad because we have sponsored a Boy Scout Troup for years. And thousands more will do the same all over the country. But plain and simple you can not go against your faith in matters of morality and there will be no homosexuals admitted. It’s impossible. It is the exact same thing as Obamagabe saying Catholic organizations have to provide abortion inducing drugs in their insurance plans. Ain’t gonna happen. Obama wants to destroy the Christian faith in this country and any organization that anything to do with Christianity. Can you imagine this BS happening if GW Bush were still president, or for that matter any republican. Having Barry Bathhouse in the White House is the reason that not a day goes by that you do not hear something about sodomy being legalized in America. Perverts take up for their own. Google Larry Sinclair and find out all you want to know about Barry Bathhouse.

Thank you for your response.

My comment was based on the experience of seeing Boy Scouts turn (momma’s boys, bed-wetters, homos) into men.

Of course, there was the one ‘potential’ Eagle Scout that had managed to stay a homosexual, so your concerns are valid.

Do you really believe that the gaystapo will settle for Sink or Swim?

Only if we can take America back from the Communists and Homosexuals (i.e. the Obama Administration, the Congress , and the Senate).

Part of the left's power is convincing people like you there is even an issue to be considered.

Part of the left's power is convincing people like 'them' that they are gay. And there are MORE of them being RAISED as gay, or CONVINCED by media influence that they are gay, than there were when I was a boy.

I agree that the actual 'amount' of occurrences of 'gay' boys entering Scouts may not be on an epidemic scale, but it most definitely is an issue that has to be dealt with. That is just an OBVIOUS FACT based on the fact that there have been lawsuits and the Boy Scout Leadership is addressing the issue in the public venue.

I’d answer your questions, but you seemed to do a good job answering them yourself, and I think we are pretty much in total agreement.
