Are your kids going to "turn gay" because they see a gay person?

No, but to include gay scout leaders is to say you approve. It sends a mixed message. Not one that needs to be sent to young, impressionable young boys.

I don't really buy that argument--if the sexuality isn't brought up, it's of no more importance than anything a straight scout leader might do that isn't talked about, and they're not all saints, either.

I don't get these weak, phony arguments. Check up the thread where another poster has posted a list of FACTS as long as your arm that completely supports the Scouts' position.

Their mistake is that they don't just aim this as a legal issue--the John Edwardses of the world would understand them saying "We've had too many molestation cases, we're trying not to get sued!"
