This was the same type of argument used by gays attempting to get into the RC priesthood. It was the mid 1960's or so and the argument was, "If you [the RCC] demand that straight men become celibate to become priests, why can't homosexuals? Just require them to be celibate too and there's no problem..."
And b/c Vatican II had just been implemented, b/c of the radical social changes of the 1960's, and, IMHO, b/c of an unhealthy degree of moral timidity on the part of the Curia, the RRC caved and began admitting gays to the priesthood...a bad seed that yielded an evil harvest 30 years later.
Actually, there were gay men in the seminaries already, had been for a long time, and they were protecting each other.
Those guys hit my grandfather's radar in the early 50's when he attended his brother's funeral at a big cathedral church in Detroit. His nephew was also in the seminary (he was about 22 at the time), or the old man would have tried to talk him out of it, after what he saw at the post-funeral dinner.
When I was in high school, some guys I'd known at a Catholic school I had attended down the road went off to the seminary. They came back less than a year later, and when people asked, they just said "well, the priestly life just wasn't for me after all." Never did figure out what happened, but in retrospect it sounds like they ran into trouble, or perhaps they got run off by the other seminarians themselves. I don't plan on asking them.
You are right, which is why I did not include scoutmasters in the post. I belive scoutmasters could hide their homosexuality but it would not be good for the scouts or the homosexual lobby. Gays should just drop ever leading youth programs.
