We will continue to fight against all groups who seek to destroy the ideas of the BSA. BTW, Mr. Dale was dishonest every time he spoke the Scout Law. The very first part (for a reason) is ..."A Scout is TRUSTWORTHY..." He hid his homosexuality, while publicly promising to be " morally straight." Deceipt and dishonesty is not a Scouting virtue.

Would James Dale have been kicked out if, instead of being homosexual, he had been living with a girlfriend at college? Or would he still be considered 'morally straight'?

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.
