Boy Scouts bump

Hmmm...

Adult queers going well out of their way to insinuate themselves into a group that very pointedly does not welcome them which is populated primarily by young boys...

There’s nothing in the least strange about that.

This is precisely what queers have always done.

Boy Scouts 1) may choose who it wishes for the scoutmasters of teenage boys; and 2) is not a public accommodation. It's a private group which has its belief as to what kind of scouting program is best for teenage boys - and it in a free country, it has a right to that belief. Homosexuals have NO intrinsic right to be put in charge of other peoples' teenage boys on overnight camping trips - no more than atheists do, or alcoholics, or people who practice bestiality, or people who espouse a lifestyle that believes that adultery is a good thing. Homosexuals may start their own scouting organization any time they want.

No one wants to join their own program complete with Faggot Patrol -- rather the goal seems to be to infiltrate, disrupt and ultimately corrupt innocent youth along with an institution whose values go 180 degrees from those of Scouting.

Here we go again, judges making laws from the bench. Rather queer laws at that.

What strikes me is that after the horrible scandal in the Catholic Church that these jurors would be so willfully ignorant to the potential harm that are allowing.

This is nothing short of an attempt to destroy the BSA as an organization.

Next they'll inform churches they must hire atheists as preachers.

Naah. There are enough churches doing that already (e.g., ELCA and Episcopal USA). My question is this: If the queers of the country want to be "Boy Scouts" so badly, why don't they just start their own organization? Nothing's stopping them!

this assumes literacy among a signifcant percentage of the DC jury pool

[Pietro]

"why don't they just start their own organization"

I believe they have. It's call "Scouting for All", however, the enrollment is probably very small outside of Manhattan and Hollywood and so they need to destroy the competition.

Ain't no different than not putting heterosexual 17 -18- year olds or adult males in charge of teenage girls

Why this argument is not used amazes me

[Greeklawyer]

"... so they need to destroy the competition. "

The objective of the homosexual practitioners is to anestitize public opinion to homosexual behavior. Thus, when it is established homosexual orientation/behavior is either geneitic or environmental the public at large will not care and be indifferent.

The homosexual lobby is moralphobic. They are threatened by statements of right and wrong which contradict homoseuxality as benign.

>>>Homosexuals may start their own scouting organization any time they want<<

I think they call it NAMBLA. sICK bA$TARDS.

[Non-Sequitur]

Didn't we go through this a few years ago? The Supreme Court ruled that the scouts could deny membership to anyone they chose since they were a private organization. Where is this case any different? Don't judges have an obligation to consider precedent before ruling? This will just go up the ladder and then be overturned, wasting everyones time and money.

[KuernoDeChivo]

I think I'm starting to understand the meaning of the term "2 man pup-tent"!

lol! 'not a friend of scouting any more if that's what it's all about.

From The Overhauling of Straight America: "We do not need and cannot expect a full 'appreciation' or 'understanding' of homosexuality from the average American. You can forget about trying to persuade the masses that homosexuality is a good thing. But if only you can get them to think that it is just another thing, with a shrug of their shoulders, then your battle for legal and social rights is virtually won."

Looks this is just another step towards the ultimate shoulder shrug.

Remove all liquids and foodstufs from your surrounding area (so as to prevent spew) and then check out Scouting For All Queers and Faggots.

Thanks for the warning before the link. If they only understood what the rainbow really represents. . .

This argument is used all the time by sensible people. The vast, vast majority of parents wouldn't send out their teenage girls with a bunch of men on overnight campouts. The vast, vast majority of parents understands that this is almost exactly the same thing. What makes it different is that homosexual males are even MORE likely to molest teenage boys than normal males are likely to molest teenage girls. The Catholic Church homosexual abuse scandal (in which a minority of priests [homosexuals] caused 95% or so of the molestations in the scandal [against teenage boys] is a case in point.

You bet. They are just trying to wear out the scouts, and to force the scouts to spend millions in stupid foolish lawsuits like this. The Boy Scouts is under attack by intolerant homosexual groups. Boy Scouts doesn't attack homosexuals or homosexual groups. Boy Scouts tolerates them just fine, and supports their right to believe what they want and to live their lives as they see fit. Would that homosexuals could show the same decency and tolerance toward the Boy Scouts. These homosexual groups are like little intemperate five-year olds who were told, "No!" when they put their hands in the cookie jar.
