I have no problem with someone who is gay being in the BSA, the military or any other organization/endeavor. In fact I know I served with Officers and Enlisted Personnel who were gay during my 21 years in the Army. I do have a problem when someone wants to join an organization BECAUSE they are gay and, in doing so, push their sexual preferences and their life style on others.

A good and simple example of the gay agenda and activism is the way in which they have co-opted the use of the rainbow. My mother, rest her soul, loved anything with a rainbow on it. I would be a fool to put a rainbow on the bumper of my car without an explantion that said, "I'm Not Gay. This Rainbow is in Memory of My Mom!"

There would be fewer problems if the Gay community did just one thing. That is: Shut Up About It.

I do. There are many honorable homosexual men. However, the majority of homosexual men engage in sexual practices that most people consider extremely deviant (anal intercourse, sadomasochistic practices, sexual practices involving urine and feces, promiscuous sex with many anonymous partners). Further, a very large subset of homosexual men have clear and strong sexual attraction to teenage boys (witness the Catholic Church scandals, the rampant teenage boy prostitution in New York City, the sexual pictures of teenage boys on almost all homosexual pornographic websites, etc.). Finally, teenage boys in Boy Scouts frequently talk about girls, dating, and yes, sex. Don't want my sons' scoutmaster to start talking about sex from a homosexual point of view. Basically, don't want my sons to even have to think about homosexuality AT ALL on any scouting activity. In sum, it's dangerous and totally inappropriate for Boy Scout scoutmasters to be homosexual. Homosexuals have their rights - but they DO NOT INCLUDE being in close quarters with my sons, or teaching my sons their (disordered) ideas about sexuality.
