The SBC is making a terrible tactical and strategic mistake. The Devil wants sin to stay in the dark and hidden. Every publicly declared homosexual boy in the Scout is an opportunity to testify of Christ and to transform lives.
Furthermore, hearing the stories and watching the transformations or resistances to change will innoculate Christian youth like nothing else can. Real life, direct experience with the misery of the homosexual lifestyle is being kept from the public and via government schools is perverted into praise for a depressing, unhappy lifestyle.
Learning to love the sinner and hate the sin is the goal of every Christian.
“Learning to love the sinner and hate the sin is the goal of every Christian.”
Correct.
However, can a child make reasoned decisions when confronted with an interesting sinner in a tent while camping?
If the answer is yes, then I respectfully suggest the “camping” is rather less natural and more unnatural - as in “unnatural acts”.
