Some people think that the founder of the Boy Scouts, Lord Robert Baden-Powell, was gay himself.

[gilliam]

The people who 'think he was gay' think he was a REPRESSED homosexual. In other words: he controlled himself. No one thinks he was an active nor avowed homosexual. Also, the evidence they point to, if it means anything, means he liked to look at boys. If these people say that is evidence he was 'gay' then they are saying to be 'gay' is to be a pedophile. Gee, these same people argue that we can't equate the two. Somewhere there logic fails. Anyway, they lack any real proof, it is all speculation in support of their political agenda. Just gossip.

Anyway, for those who care: Baden-Powell founded the Boy Scouts in England, which pre-dates the Boy Scouts of America. He really had nothing to do with the founding of the Boy Scouts of America.

"Some people think that the founder of the Boy Scouts, Lord Robert Baden-Powell, was gay himself."

According to the historical revisionist of the pro-homosexual political left, everyone of any historical importance was "gay".

Some people think we didn't land on the moon. "Some people" are wrong and "some people" will say anything (LIE) to further thier agendas.
