The New York chapter of the Boy Scouts of America has made history by hiring an openly gay adult and telling bigotry to take a hike.
They have hired a gutsy 18-year-old Eagle Scout named Pascal Tessier to work as a camp counselor this summer at the Ten Mile River Scout Camp in upstate New York.
And nobody is prouder than his mom.
I am, said Tracie Felker, who lives in Hagerstown, Md., when asked about her boundary-breaking boy.
Its not a brave thing he is doing, she added. Its something necessary, something that needs to be done.
Legal eagle David Boies, best known for leading the fight against Californias anti-gay marriage law, said Tessier embodies the best qualities of an Eagle Scout, and of America.
Permitting him to continue his service to scouts and to scouting is the right decision for the Boy Scouts, and for our community, he said.
In the past, barring boys and adults from being scouts and scout leaders solely based on their sexual orientation hurt them, hurt scouting, and hurt our communities. Ending that discrimination is an important step in putting an ugly chapter of American history behind us.
Zach Wahls of Scouts for Equality called the hiring of Tessier a "watershed moment."
"For the first time in the history of the Boy Scouts, an openly gay adult will join their ranks as a camp counselor," he said. Pascal Tessier was the first out gay scout, and now it appears that he will also be the first out gay leader.
But in hiring Tessier, the New York scouts may have set up a potential showdown with the Texas-based national leadership of the one of the country's largest, most venerable youth organizations.

No one wants to revive the stoning pits of antiquity. No one--or hardly anyone--wants to break into anyone else's bed room. But this is not "tolerance," it is lunacy. (And note War On The Boy Scouts.)
>>And nobody is prouder than his mom.
Another homo with a mom who is proud of him. Too bad he didn’t have a father.
>>embodies the best qualities of an Eagle Scout, and of America.
Really?? Buggery embodies the best qualities of America?
LOL!
I take it there are any number of wealthy gays who want the Boy Scouts’ land.
- and when and if he touches one of the boys he’ll magically no longer be “ gay “ he’ll be a “ pedophile “.
and of course pedophiles aren’t gay - they’re pedophiles.
and no, I am not joking. I have heard this argued and stated over and over again.
The logic of the left is no logic at all.
Like a spoonful of cesspool water placed in a 55 gallon of pure water, they contaminate everything they touch.
“Servicing” the younger scouts he will be. And, shortly thereafter, his various youth paramours will be suing Boy Sodomites of America and those who made the abominable excision for all they are worth. Anybody who doesn’t believe this can ask the RC Church what happens then.
When we had laws against sodomy, the GAYstapo was kept so busy playing defense that they had no time to play offense.
It’s going to be a boy scout jam—boree!
Do a search for Boy Scouts Perversion Files.
That they would even think of admitting homos or allow them to go camping in the woods with boys means they have been totally corrupted.
They hired Bob Gates didn’t they? He let them in the military and now he is doing it to the little ones
Yes. I held my nose and voted for Mittens but if Conservatives stayed home it wasn’t because he is Mormon.
Ask the “adult” leader how old his oldest “partner” has been and what age he himself was he went they daddled.
Obama’s own “safe schools czar” endorsed a book of “first love” stories where homosexuals recounted their “first time” and often it was with an older adult who “knew” there was something “different” about them.
Yes.
“In the past, barring boys and adults from being scouts and scout leaders solely based on their sexual orientation hurt them, hurt scouting, and hurt our communities”
What a load.
It will be highly entertaining when there are two or more complaints implicating him in forced sodomy of younger scouts.
To start with, it will turn two out-of-control groups against each other. The homos and the anti-pedophiles.
But first of all, the police will do nothing, not wanting to make waves, until it leaks out that they are “protecting pedophiles” (note: plural). The other boys will likely deny everything, so the anti-pedophiles will grill them until they are unsure if they actually were molested.
Meanwhile, the politicians will twist in the wind, first off taking the side of the homos, then meekly insisting that “there must be an investigation”.
And all the adults associated with this troop will be under the microscope.
