From my short story, “Alas, Brave New Babylon.”
Natural laws learned over thousands of years were mocked, ridiculed, overturned, and even outlawed. Toward the end, homosexual drill sergeants prowled the barracks grooming receptive teenage recruits. Hey, we were told, it’s their business, and who are you to judge them? Later, they could get married in the post-interfaith worship center by a military spiritual advisor (“chapels” and “chaplains” having been purged from the lexicon for favoring the Christian faiths) and then move on to adopting children.
And finally, the last old-guard bunker to fall: the Boy Scouts, completing the cycle of government-approved sodomite corruption. For a century the Scouts were morally straight? According to whose definition of straight? So why shouldn’t adult homosexual Scout leaders share tents with teenagers in our brave new world? Don’t be a homophobe, we were told. Each child can make his or her own free choice about their gender identity, but now with helpful adult mentors to guide them along the formerly forbidden paths.
If it feels good, do it. Or have it done to you. Or even do it unto the little children. Tommy wants to become Tomasina before heading to kindergarten? Her brave new mommy agrees? A government-provided surgeon will perform the “gender reassignment” operation. And if kindergarten isn’t soon enough to put the kids on the unrepressed road to gender identification, then start them on Heather Has Two Mommies and Prince and Prince cartoon books in the government-subsidized day care centers.
Smiling experts assured us that we were merely throwing off the shackles of our repressed sexualities. Dissent is hate, and hate is not tolerated around here, mister, so shut up and get with the program. Well, I couldn’t get with the program, so I quit my public high school job. As a world history teacher, moving from a public school to a Christian academy (at less pay and fewer benefits) gave me a couple more years of insulation from the social wreckage cascading down.
I kept looking up for the big asteroid, but we didn’t need God to smite us from outer space. In the end, we smote ourselves with our hubris, believing that we were replacing God’s wisdom with our own. The proud decadence and in-your-face cultural perversions didn’t cause the Rupture, but they were surely flashing red signs warning that the end was near.

Why hasn’t the Southern Baptist Convention cut this group loose and told them to start meeting at Starbucks instead of on church property?
Makes me weep.
Just give up the “cub” and “boy” scout designation.
They are now all “We-Blows.”
It’s genderist to have Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Combine the two and call them Progressive Youth.
Not sure what to do with Spiral Scouts.
Will they offer a gender-fluids merit badge?
Most homosexuals were sexually molested as children.
They want to normalize the behavior to attain better access to YOUR children.
Fine job, Rex.
It is sad that so many boys will not have the same experience I had in Boy Scouts and similarly the wonderful time my son had. BSA is in its final days. Makes me sad.

There are other groups to replace the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts.

Ex-Mayor of San Diego, Roger Hedgecock had a radio show. He kept trying to get the “we need gay leaders in the Boy Scouts” groups to start their own version, “The Rump Rangers”... it was hilarious, they let him continue to say that on the radio, but that was the 90’s... things have changed.
Not one dime. The name will not pass my lips hence.
