Do you believe that allowing an open and avowed homosexual to be the SPL, ASPL, PL, TG, APL, etc. of a Troop, sets a good moral example of leadership?
The “New Scout Patrol” usually has a TG as a coach/mentor for the young kids. If the TG is an open and avowed homosexual, he will have considerable influence over the impressionable development of those young boys, some as young as 10.5 years old.
Not only no but hell no! This is why I've folded my BSA tent and gone home. (And, as of today, so have the Southern Baptists. Wonder if the Mormons will stay or go?)
(These are the thoughts of a one-time Boy Scout and the father of two Eagle Scouts.)

maybe or maybe not
It depends on his lifestyle and it depends on his being asexual in his BS role, which many folks can actually do
A boy who is raised to believe that any homosexual, even one who is asexual in his conduct, is “immoral” is in for a very rough road by the time he is a teenager, in school, the workplace, the military and every other insitution in which he will have to find his way with people of all persuasions
Lifestyle choices involve more than sexual activity
My homosexual cousin (now deceased too young) was a strong steady funny self- deprecating compassionate young man with not the slightest interest in sexual behaviors around children, just like most hetero adults.
He was patient smart and fair, knew every fact in the world about plants and about weather and about military aircraft (long line of military in our family), and I believe boys would have found him to be a good advisor, as did his friends, both straight and homsexual
I don’t know what else to say about what inspires “leadership”.
Not all homosexuals parade the streets in leather chaps, you know. Or maybe you don’t know
