I can imagine the attitude of the gay proponents in the BSA leadership is, "Good."

The Southern Baptist Convention, which represents thousands of churches that sponsor Boy Scout troops, approved a resolution opposing accepting gay scouts - with a top church leader predicting a "mass exodus" of youths from the program that has been a rite of passage for more than a century. The move came as the convention held its annual, four-day meeting in Houston, and three weeks after the Boy Scouts of America voted to allow gay youth to join. With more than two-thirds of Boy Scout troops sponsored by religious organizations, and Baptists being the nation's largest protestant denomination, the strongly-worded resolution could have a crippling effect on the Boy Scouts.
"There will be a mass exodus over time," said Frank Page, president of the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee. Churches are finally going to have to come to realize there is a point when you say, sorry, no more."
Ping for later

A major religious denomination has just put its foot down.
Thank goodness! The pushback has begun.

You will NEVER send your boy to camp with a homosexual. The Boy Scouts are therefore Dead. Fags won, topic over.

That was the goal - they didn’t want to join the Scouts, they wanted to destroy the Scouts.
Just as in the marriage issue - they don’t really want to get married, they want to destroy marriage.

Fire up a new organization if one hasn't been created already that promotes healthy godly behavior and forbids deviant behavior (like the BSA - in their code of ethics but not in their actions, like physicians abandonment of their Hippocratic Oath)).
The light of Life and darkness of the world is becoming more distinct. Jesus is coming soon.

Condemn? More is needed. A serious recommendation by the Southern Baptists for members of the congregation to immediately remove their child from the GBSA (Gay Boy Scouts of America) should be forthcoming.

If your boys listen to you about the military, they are not men and undesirable in the military any way

Yep. Let the BAa self destruct under the influx of pedophile sexual assaults that are about to begin. The Catholic Church’s des ensign into hell over it will be pale by comparison.
To: MrB
Bingo.
The Gay agenda is an unrelenting attack on marriage and the Bible. Our response must be as, if not more, unrelenting. Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4).

It's not only this, but the Boy Scouts now have a gay pride merit badge, and is teaching gay tolerence instead of silly things like traditional values or surviving in the woods. Although they have ended their ban on gay scouts, not yet their ban an gay leaders. I suppose that's next, however. It's the next logical step. Where do you think they get thsese ideas...?
"I think that, uh, you know, my attitude is, is that gays and lesbians should have, uh, access, and, and, opportunity, uh, the same way everybody else does, uh, in every institution and walk of life, and, um, you know, the, the Scouts are a great institution, uh, that, are, uh, promoting, uh, young people and exposing them to, uh, you know, opportunities, and, and..."

If the Scouts lose their sponsors they can apply for a grant from the Valentino Liberace Foundation.

So...they condemn the change but they’re not ending their association with the Scouts? Kind of a mixed message in that, isn’ there?

Think about the relative numbers of homosexuals
and then their disproportionate effects on society.
Others are simply using “gay rights” as a spearpoint to attack their True Enemy - Christ and His Church.
