Tillerson was instrumental in lobbying the Scouts’ board to accept openly gay youths, said John Hammer, president of the Washington think tank Center for Strategic and International Studies, of which Tillerson is a board member.
"I can’t get into the intimacy of these conversations. But he agonized over this. He prayed on it, and ultimately he came to the conclusion the only thing that can guide him here is what’s best for the young boys,” he said. "I think he became a key leader in helping the group come to a consensus."
I wonder which senator will have the courage to bring this up during confirmation......
Answer: none
I wouldn't be surprised if it ceased to exist in my lifetime, and it really has nothing to do with Tillerson's role there.
Perhaps there are more important things to discuss.
The quickest way to undermine the Trump administration would be to try to start a witch hunt against homosexuals and their supporters. Let’s not do that.
If this is true, he is a BIG MISTAKE and Trump had better talk him into withdrawing.
This article seems like a load of crap. No evidence at all. Just some guy speculating.
My eyes roll upward. If this is about young boys, good deeds, leadership, then let all boys as they are be able to be a part. All boys however they are made.
If this is about scout leaders, let’s have them all keep any sex acts they do PRIVATE. Not interested in what they do sexually as long as they are good and moral people who will not lead the boys astray.
Most men who molest children from positions of authority are “married” to a woman, even those who molest young boys. We must not let alone any men with positions of authority over children and youth WITH said children. No unsupervised time alone with any child, no car rides, nothing. That goes for teachers, coaches, clergy, anyone.
Trump is going to leave the gay agenda alone. He doesn’t want to see gay marriage overturned. He’s cool with Milo and Kaitlyn. Tilerson isn’t going to make a difference one way or the other
A few comments from the article...
I haven’t researched Tillerson but will ask a question based on your facts in the article....so you are saying the Boy Scouts are not open to all boys?
Exactly how many boys even think they are gay at 10-12 years of age.
Your article did not specify that Tillerson was for gay Scoutmasters which was the real furor on the whole subject.
The comments you pulled out could be out of context, or not. Let’s see what he says in the Senate confirmation hearings.
Obviously a troll article intended to sow division in the Trump ranks. And very successful it has been.
I also note below that some of the old platoon of paid trolls are getting their pay checks again :)
Here’s Tillerson’s Key Note Address at the Scout’s meeting. Sounds like a decent human being who appreciates how the Scout’s molds good men and good citizens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKG18Aqle_I
Disgusting as it is ... in a perverted way it may help to secure one RINO senator’s vote ... namely Lindsey Graham.
I don’t get this. All my sources are that Robert Gates was the man most responsible for the “gaying” of the Boy Scouts.
A rational person says “So how is this relevant to his qualification to be Sec of State”?
A political dogmatist feverishly combs every article of the persons past desperately hoping to find something to scream in hysteria about because the person is not ideologically perfect.
This “Purity Uber Alles” dogma has not worked for #Never Trumpers in the Primary, at the Convention, with your 3rd party spoiler or on Election day. It has gone beyond obsession to an unhealthy compulsion for some of you.
Most of you don’t seem to realize there is a danger of being the “boy who cried wolf” here.
Such self righteous indignation.

FAIL.
Fine...reject Rex and install Bolton.
And don’t give me any of that Neo-con crap coming from Rand Paul.
So if a Obama appointed a dude who helped and supported normalizing homosexuality into the BSA would FR or the GOP support it?
Uh oh.
“one of the people responsible for opening the BSA to homosexuals. “
I suggest that probably the same rate of homosexuals in the BSA existed before the generalized out-of-closet trend of today. (The same as in sets of school teachers, clergy, etc.) We just weren’t constantly reminded of it.
Oh, crap....I didn’t know this thanks for posting it
