I can’t believe that. The LDS are very aggressive about pedos and I simply can’t believe they’d introduce active homosexuals into that role of trust.
On the other hand, if someone is “homosexual”, but has forsaken that sin then that could be the case that they’d be involved in Scouting. I’d be surprised to find them as Scout Masters. If Scouting’s two-deep leadership is followed it really shouldn’t be a problem and being a known homosexual would put you in the spotlight moreso than in someone who’s kept it a secret.
OK, 1010RD, I found the reference. I'm prepared to believe this comment about Mitt Romney's views on gay troop leaders is wrong, but if so,it needs to be refuted.

DannyTN wrote this:
“So let's see...Mitt Romney's first three actions after his competition drops out.
Names an openly gay man as his primary spokesman.
Critizes the Boy Scouts for not allowing gay troop leaders.
Claims he is against pro marriage, even though he personally implemented gay marraige in Mass as governor, doing more for gay marriage than Obama has done as president.
Look at the actions, not the words. Words get etch-a-sketched. Actions tell his values.”
One of Romney's defenders, icwhatudo, said this claim by DannyTN is false, but then quoted Romney saying this: “I believe that the Boy Scouts of America does a wonderful service for this country. I support the right of the Boy Scouts of America to decide what it wants to do on that issue. I feel that all people should be able to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation.”
That comment is pretty bad — saying that Scouting, as a private organization, can do what it wants but that “all people should be able to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation” is merely stating he doesn't want to force the group to take a stance which he wishes it would choose to take on its own.
This is not good coming from the Republican nominee for president.
Again, if this is false we need to get facts and refute the false allegations.
