Many pundits are weighing in on the decision by the Boy Scouts of America to allow open homosexuality into the organization. I, for one, am not surprised. The very fact that the leadership organized a vote on the question instead of simply standing firm on its existing policy, which was backed by a large majority of scouting parents and a US Supreme Court victory no less, told me all I needed to know. The amoral fat cats now running this once venerable organization wanted the change to preserve their "gay"-controlled corporate donor base but wanted the blame to fall on others.
If anyone really believes this already destructive capitulation by the BSA will remain limited to the boys and not extend to the leaders, or that the homo-fascists are going to be placated by this half-measure, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you. I say we should take the whole organization down as quickly as possible to make room for a replacement that will protect and serve the boys and not the perverts. Here is my contribution to that effort: a little historical context to show the danger America's youth are now facing in a homosexualized scouting movement. As the saying goes, those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat its tragedies.

Unfortunately and likely correct. One need only look at the military for the example.
So, unless our Council leaves the national BSA immediately (there is a rumor to that effect)...
I hope that happens for you and in lots of other places, too. Please take a moment to post on that development on FR if it should occur.
” I’m suspicious of the Mormon contingent in the BSA. I can’t help but wonder if the LDS is hoping to use gay marriage to maneuver polygamy to legal status.”
Perhaps you have a bias showing. Your speculation runs counter to the support LDS provided to pass CA Prop 8.
It is happening in every institution in this country and nobody says a word because it doesn’t affect them, yet.
Sadly, too many folks simply deny history.
Or rather many will jump ship and join any of the Christian based organizations.
“Scout troops will be disbanded all across America and those doing so will be branded as HOMOPHOBIC and RACIST. We cannot win against the opposition that are now in control of America - it is over.”
Being called homophobic is very likely, but racist, unlikely.
Look for revolt in that area.
I wonder if anybody ever actually asked the scouts if they wanted the homos to join.
What the rank and file want and do isn’t necessarily the same thing as that of the leadership.
Sorta like the GOP nominating first McPain and then Romney, but the rank and file don’t deliver their votes.
Romney single handedly enforced the MA Supreme Courts order on gay marriage, the one the legislature was ignoring. He could have ignored it too. But he didn’t.
Been suspicious ever since.
RIP the patriotic Boy Scouts that once were.
Mormans are not to be trusted. They corrupted the Bible and believe a drunkard named Joe Smith sits at the right hand of God. They put him on the same level as the Apostle Paul.
They also believe in aborting children if you don’t like who the father is, i.e, rape and incest, and have accepted the homosexual lifestyle. Yes I know they fought against queer marriage in California, but that was a few years ago. The director of the BSA is a Morman, and I guarantee you the main reason they sold out to the sodomites was because he supported the sell-out. The Morman Church so far is the only Church that has came out and from day one said they agreed with the sodomite takeover. I too am suspect they want queer “marriage” passed in the Supreme Court now, because they know that’s their only hope to bring back a half dozen wives for their male Mormans. The Mormans have gone the way of the Episcopalians. Liberal as the day is long.
The mormons went with the change, that’s how. They were the vote difference.
Is that true? That the deciding votes were mormons? Is there any reporting confirming this?
Has to be. They are the largest voting bloc. They went in supporting the measure
Simple math.
But here is the closest I can find to a vote.
“With more Scouting troops than any other religious denomination in the country, the backing of the Salt Lake City-based church was significant for the Scouts.
Following church leadership, Utah’s two main Boy Scout councils — made up nearly entirely by LDS Church-sponsored troops and among the largest in the country — also backed the rule change.”
Thank you. I feel my suspicions have been confirmed.
Where is the information on the voting process and how people voted? Nobody is discussing the actual event.
