Many angry Eagle Scouts, both gay and straight, sent their merit badges back to BSA headquarters to protest the Supreme Court decision

Seriously, how many gay Eagle scouts can there be?

Many angry Eagle Scouts

Because no number is given, I would say many = 2-3. If there had been just one then they could not honestly have said "many." If it was hundreds then I am sure we would have heard the real number.

I know more than one. Think about a kid who's gay, and may not at the time even be dealing with it consciously himself. He doesn't date, because coming out is either more than he can handle, or (depending on where he lives) dangerous. So, he sublimates that energy into something else. What better than into making Eagle, and thus gaining the approbation of all?

No kidding. Gays are what, 5% of the population? Only a tiny fraction of Scouts make it to Eagle Scout. Since BSA excludes gays how many gay Eagle Scouts are there?

There are so many logical and material fallacies in this article it's indescribable.
