I think it’s sad that people equate pedophilia with homosexuality at this day in time. The BSA Headquarters should purchase the land from the city and finance a lease for the group that they can afford. Unfortunately, a lot of inner city kids will suffer and a beautiful landmark will be no more because of this.

You deny that gay scoutmasters are a problem on overnight stays?

The Scouts’ prohibition goes beyong just molestation. It is also moral character.

I don't think people are doing that here.

It's about having moral standards and sticking to them.

ah... so there's no higher occurrence of pedophiles among homosexual men than among the general population?

Pull the other one and it plays "Jingle Bells".

“The BSA Headquarters should purchase the land from the city”

I doubt if the City Council would agree to selling the land.

I think it is sad that we don’t make this association MORE OFTEN. There is a strong correlation..........

Maybe you should go look at some statistics.....

Any homosexual act makes one an acting homosexual; therefore, if a man molests a boy then it is an act of homosexuality.

In re: connecting homosexuality with pederasty (more appropriate to boy scouts, who have a minimum age of ten and an average age of 14), the fact is, per capita, more homosexuals molest than heteros.

That said, I would not have my daughter in a girl scout organization that had adult males leading the sleepovers. I don’t like heterosexual pederasty, either.

To put homosexual adult men in charge and close quarters with a bunch of teenage boys in totally irresponsible. The Boy Scout policy is the correct one.

"...I think it’s sad that people equate pedophilia with homosexuality at this day in time..."

At this day in time, the majority of us aren't yet indoctrinated.

What's the female-equivalent word for pederasty?

Answer: There is no equivalent.
