Everything you say is true, I know this. But Romney correctly says the BSA have the right to decide the issue. He should stopped right there and said nothing more. The BSA have taken alot of heat for taking a stand, the right one I might add. Problem is, I’m sure there are many closet gay scout masters.
But Romney didn’t stop right there. He went on to say that he supported the right of all sexual orientations to “participate” or some such in the Scouts. He made his view on the issue known — as you point out gratuitously.
Uh, I meant “as you point out Romney’s insertion of his opinion on the matter beyond the right of an organization to make it’s own decision was gratuitous.” I hope it didn’t sound like I was trying to insult you.
