It sounds similar to the stand the Mormon church has taken, in that all scouts are expected to be celibate/chaste, whether they identify themselves as heterosexual or homosexual.

Very disappointed with the LDS Church and to a lesser degree, the RCC Church's responses. The LDS said that its BSA National Council members should "vote their conscience." Back in 2000 during the SCOTUS arguments about the BSA v. Dale case, the LDS Church let it be known very strongly that it would abandon BSA if the SCOTUS ruled against the BSA and forced the door open for open homosexuals to join. As others have noted, the RCC tatement could have been stronger.

No, the Kolobian’s stand was “uhhhhh, that’s not part of our campaign”.

FAIL
