Boy scouts just last week had to kick out a sick pervert who fondled 4 boys he was supposed to be teaching scuba diving to! Don't give me this hogwash that Homosexuality is morally equivalent to heterosexuality.

I don't care what gays do in their bedrooms or their homes, but they are never ever going to be trusted en masse around teenagers and young adults... and frankly NOR SHOULD THEY.

Get over yourself, let your 12 year old hang out in the Castro district for a while and see how exactly "equivalent" it is... hell, just go walk down that street and tell me you would find the overt sexuality and nudity pushed into the public there anywhere else in america.

Sorry, Gays have no business en masse around teen boys in potentially compromising situations, no more than Heterosexual young men have any business en masse around teenage girls in potentially compromising situations.

I won't send my 15 year old daughter out in the woods with a 22 year old man alone, why would you think I'd send my 15 year old son out into the woods alone with a 22 year old gay man alone?

I'd be derelict as a parent if I allowed either. Gay men must be treated just a much of a potential predatory animal around teenage boys as straight men must be around teenage girls... Pure and simple.

How does this have to do with letting gay leaders into the BSA? Because whether or not the BSA allowed gay leaders, this is against National's youth protection policy. You can't have a 22 year old straight leader taking a 15 year old Scout into the woods alone, either. And a good thing, too, for multiple reasons.
