Tension over the Boy Scouts of America's anti-gay policy reached the Sacramento region this week after 10 members of an area summer camp staff walked out in response to the firing of a gay staff member.
Local BSA officials said the young man was fired not because he is gay, but because he failed to heed repeated requests to dress appropriately for camp. Specifically at issue were his painted fingernails and earring, although one senior official said there were also complaints about his mannerisms and behavior.

On the other side, Randy Thomasson, president of the website SaveCalifornia.com, which bills itself as an advocate for traditional family values, said the Scouts had every right to dismiss Griffin.
"The Scout policy is well known," Thomasson said. "The Boy Scouts have high standards for behavior. The Boy Scouts ought to be commended for maintaining their high standards.
"This guy should not have been working there once he decided he was against their stance on sexuality," he said.
Still, the firing came as a shock to Griffin, a Vacaville native who grew up in a Scouting family.
"As I grew up in the Boy Scouts, I realized I was queer at a young age," he said.

BSA should tell folks they are avoiding Sanduskys.
What could go wrong with a flamboyant gay transvestite . . . at a camp . . . with young boys . . . and relatively few parents?
Would love to see that! The QSA.... I won't be supporting any of their fundraisers!
INDEED!!!!
The Boy Scouts demonstrate more maturity and common sense than the entire Democratic Party.
The Real Homosexual Agenda
A Self-Styled ‘Gay Revolutionary’ Offers a Challenge to Straight America:
“We shall sodomize your sons, emblems of your feeble masculinity, of your shallow dreams and vulgar lies. We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms, in your sports arenas, in your seminaries, in your youth groups, ...wherever men are with men together. Your sons shall become our minions and do our bidding. They will be recast in our image. They will come to crave and adore us. All churches who condemn us will be closed. Our holy gods are handsome young men. ...We shall be victorious because we are fueled with the ferocious bitterness of the oppressed...”

They don't have to. They are doing just fine, being "outraged" at homosexual behavior "here," while being "outraged" at efforts to prevent homosexual behavior "there." Nobody that makes any difference is calling them on it.
Any leftist who doesn’t like the Boy Scouts of America is free to create the Queer Scouts of America (QSA) and see how far that gets them. Seriously. This is supposedly a free country. Don’t like the BSA? Create your own scouts or shut up!!!
Camp Jerry Sandusky?
When I was a Boyscout a group of fathers on the campout cornrered one of the assistant scout masters and quietly told him that if they ever saw him alone again with a kid in his tent they would beat the living he!! Out of him. He quit after the campout.
First of all a boys camp IS NOT a nudist colony. Secondly, no insult intended, but the vast majority of parents would not allow under any circumstances their kids to attend a naturist camp. You might not want to touch naked children but there are plenty of freaks who do. No reason to take an unnecessary chance.
What the HELL are you doing on this forum??? Why don’t you lay down in the grass and search for some Hanta Virus this fine summer.
Why do you think they call it “camp”? ;)
What am I doing on this forum? 90% of naturists are conservative. We are freedom loving individuals that don’t like to wear clothes when it is not needed.
That’s parental involvement.
Yup.
My grandfather apparently was involved in the beating of a man in his neighborhood who had molested one of the little girls who lived nearby. Five guys grabbed the perp when he answered the knock at the door at 2AM and left him barely breathing on the lawn. The cops were sitting down a block or so in a car watching to make sure that they didn’t kill him.
The beating was never officially solved by the police. The guy went into the hospital for two months and then sold his home and left the area.
Although a bit unusual, it may explain why there were fewer examples of child molestation in the 1930s. It truly was a different world in those days.
This might not be the forum for you.
YOU ARE GAY!!!
Indidival freedoms, unless YOU don't like the freedom the person is doing.
Yer naked. That makes you offensive, liberal, and a possible pedophile.
Don't ASSUME that naturists are LIBERAL. We are defending the rights of freedom.
