That’s silly. Since its inception there likely have been secretly homosexual Boy Scouts. Now, let it out into the light where it can be managed and treated. These are confused boys who need direction, clarity and the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Love them back to normalcy.

Don’t abandon them to deviancy.

While that is a very Christian, and noble, perspective, let's think further upon it. BSA's policy has always been that the volunteers are forbidden from talking of sexual matters with their scouts. Of course, that is, to a degree, violated when you show them some of the YPT videos - Is "A Time to Tell" still used? Counselling of open homosexual youth would require further training of volunteers. This strays over into the area of "reparative therapy" which is all in the news right now and is under heavy assault by the homosexualists. Of course, commensurate with the homosexual scout is the boy's parents. Now that is another potential time bomb waiting to go off. We get enough of irate parents who aren't involved with their son's unit as it is. Then there is the matter of protecting your younger scouts from an older open homosexual scout. I am not trampling upon your viewpoint - it just needs further examination before I am convinced BSA should go there.
