""Institutionalized homophobia in the Scouts or in church or school is the cruelest of all," said Ian McKellan, the actor who played Gandolf in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, in an appearance for the group. "It makes life miserable for young gay people and it misleads their peers with regard to the 'truth' about gay people – that they are remarkably similar to the rest." "

Similar? Wanting to have sex with other members of the group is a BIG difference from the rest of them, a hurdle that most people can't get over you liberal putze.
A group of boys standing on a dock waiting to go swimming with most of them thinking how he can shove his buddy in without getting yelled at, all well and good. Add a known homosexual to the group and all the rest of them will be thinking of is "Why is he standing so close to me? Is he looking at me? Why do I have to stand next to him?"
This isn't a learned reaction, kids aren't told to feel this way, they just do, its instinctive for most people to react that way, and for those who say its being homophobic -BS! Its no different than a young man getting goofy when a pretty girl smiles at them, its the SAME THING!
