I've posted this as an instance of how the media manipulate public opinion in order to obtain results consistent with their own worldview. If you go to the comments section at the link you'll find twenty viewer comments, nearly all of them enthusiastically in favor of the Boy Scouts' move. According to the site, the comments have been "moderated in advance." Yet if you look at the arrow factor, you'll see that disapproval of the comments is running at anywhere between two and three times that of the approvals.
It's obvious that the Daily Mail is censoring out comments that don't comport with a particular point-of-view. I myself attempted to post my own disapproval several times and none of my attempts have been included. I'm certain there were more than 20 comments on something of this nature, and it appears that the publication hand-picked the results.

How many parents will allow their kid to be near the eagle scout one on one, without a trusted third party watching?

So long Boy Scouts.
You had a good run and you did some good things in your time.
You’ve been politicized, tainted and taken down by money and political correctness, so the future only holds decline and irrelevance.

My son would not be allowed anywhere near that place. As a mother, it's my job to protect him from well known threats.
Members of NAMBLA, or the North American Man/Boy Love Association (homosexual pedophile group) are anonymous. How would parents know if this man/woman/thing is one of those members? What if they found out too late? An innocent child's life would be destroyed.
NAMBLA teaches classes to male homosexuals on how to molest young boys without getting caught. According to the courts, it's all legal until one of the "students" actually gets caught after molesting his/her/it's young victim - once the vile and vicious damage has been done.

The only way for the dysfunctional homosexuals to increase their numbers is to corrupt other peoples children.
IF you want your son to be a homosexual, then let him join this organization. If you want a normal healthy son, stay away from the organizations that set the stage for your child's destruction and possible molestation.
If you want to find a vile homosexual - just go to where the children are.

Too late for the Village People. They missed their chance to do "In the Boy Scouts".
