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.
His spokesperson said that the above REMAINS his position TODAY.
And that was last week when he said that "Chick-fil-A" had no part in his campaign.
Apparently, re-endorsing gays in the boy scouts does.
Not the best site in the world, but this was hidden in the news last week in articles about the boy scouts holding the line.
Mitt’s spokesman came out and said Mitt’s views remain the same as ever.
Gays in boys scouts can be part of his campaign, but Chick-fil-A can not!
Is that weird or what!
Remind me again...why is it that Romney’s supposed to be considered intelligent, again?
If Romney is the nominee—he needs to be surrounded by Republicans in Congress and anywhere else we can place them. He’s a problem child that’s going to need babysitting. Sigh.
Whutz wrong with that?
B/S Rino Romney, you and your elitist cocktail pals can piss off.
You stand against marriage foer them but you say adoption is alright, now boy scouts, don’t ask is gone and is alright with Romney and those elitist snobs.
PISS off , now we wait till he picks for VP a boring old , no emotion, socially liberal RINO probably from up north whilst good people like Col Allen West, Sarah are not even speaking at the convention.
Many in the GOP only care about their own wealth and power instead of this country.
The homosexual debate is or has become one of the top topics now and we have these idiots.
You know Rick S or Newt would have stood firm against this crap and that is why the elitist RINO’s fought and voted against them.
YOU DON’T GET RIGHTS BASED ON HOW YOU HAVE YOUR SEX.
F-in PISSED OFF WITH THIS CRAP{no pun}
Don’t forget May of this year, when he said that two people who love each other should be allowed to adopt kids. Then two days later he was speaking at Liberty University.
Romney is pandering for votes and wants it both ways, he’s no different than a leftist Rat.
A person either has values or they don’t and it’s clear to me he doesn’t.
I think he is trying to say that gay youth should be allowed to join the scouts (it might make men out of them) while not mentioning adult “leaders”. Leadership is a different story.

Not exactly a friend to our side, either.
You’ve not brought out anything new. Romeny’s position is well known. It’s why we’re fighting for the most conservative Congress possible.
How does this help defeat Obama, Xzins?
We are constantly told that there are a lot more fascisexuals out there than is commonly thought.
Okay, let’s say I believe them. Then why can’t they develop their own young men’s organization and run it any way they like?
With older boys and troop leaders who are fascisexuals, it becomes more of an agenda driven program for the fascisexual cause, than an agenda driven program for the cause that it was intended to promote. That’s not where the Boy Scouts of America wants their organization to go, and I don’t blame them. It should be their choice, not people who only want to hijack it for their goals.
Okay, let me see if I understand this. He supports Boy Scouts right to have whoever they choose to have. But He supports whoever would like to join them also. Is that what this article is saying???
>> Mitt has opposed gay marriage
Not intentionally.
Romney is being investigated by Reid and all, but then is for gay freeloading government snitches to have access everywhere... makes perfect sense.
The trick here is that Romney is most likely AC/DC himself ~ hence the perfect hairdo, and no military service.
I’m seriously asking this question, not supporting Romney on the issue— did he say he supports gays in leadership positions or just kids who say they are gay? Because I tend to believe not all early teenagers that claim to be gay are, and I’d rather have them learning from the boy scouts then hanging out at some gay organization that tells them “Yes, your 13 and queer “, further cementing that kids beliefs and taking advantage of them, perhaps in more ways then one.
Entirely by accident, I'm sure.
Romney also said this past May that gay couples should be able to adopt children.
That would sort of lend itself to supporting gay marriage as well, as the adopted child might need married parents.
