Mormon church to support Boy Scouts despite gay troop leaders

The Mormon church will continue to support the Boy Scouts of America despite the group’s decision to allow gay troop leaders, say church leaders.

After a month of deliberation, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – which is the nation’s largest sponsor of Boy Scout units and continues to restrict gay and lesbian members from participating fully in church activities and leadership – said in a statement Wednesday that it would maintain its 102-year-old association with Scouting following the BSA’s controversial July decision to let gay men lead Scout units.

The announcement, which comes after the BSA assured church leaders that they would continue to have control over their own hiring, highlights both the progress and problems of attempts to strike a middle ground on gay rights issues – especially for organizations like the Boy Scouts, which has grown increasingly bound to faith-based groups, The Christian Science Monitor’s Amanda Paulson reported last month.

So you’re okay with faggot leaders in the Scouts.

I have a very healthy disdain for sodomites and their enablers, of which you are clearly one.

Homosexuality is a disease — not an acceptable alternative lifestyle.

You should be ashamed of yourself for tolerating it and for not speaking out against it. You will pay for that someday. I pray that no innocent lives are harmed by your enabling of this perversion.

Note especially the following:

“We oppose all forms of ... homosexualism...”

This will not be a productive venue for you to push your “tolerance” of sodomites.
