Mitt Romney was on the board of directors for the BSA, Boy Scouts of America, an organization that I greatly admire, from 1993 to 2001 or so.
Romney has been an excellent supporter of the BSA.
In all those years, he didn’t do anything to change their stance on gays in scouting, and has stated that he believes each council should make their own decisions on matters like that. Pro-Federalism if you will.
As an Eagle scout and a supporter of the Boy Scouts myself, I know he will be a friend to scouting in the White House.
Gay activists and Kennedy hoped to use his BSA position and lack of action pushing the gay agenda onto Scouting into baiting him as ‘anti-gay’ during the 1994 senate race, and he attempted to deflect that in 1994. Your ‘gay scoutmasters’ comment is unwarranted hyperbole.
And now the rest of the quote:
“”I support the right of the Boy Scouts of America to decide what it wants to do on that issue,” according to the Globe. He then added, “”I feel that all people should be allowed to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation.”
Let’s just lay out a buffet for the pedophiles.
