I don’t think your knee jerk reaction is in question, at least not by me. However, there are apparently many on this thread who blame the LDS Church for facilitating the change in scouting, whereas has been determined, is just the opposite. If not for the LDS Church and it’s substantial membership on the BSA board, the BSA would today embrace homosexual leaders.
Forgive the analogy, but I believe what happened is likened to what was to have been an amputation, but instead, surgically remedy the wound to become a slow bleed. I don’t believe society will allow it to heal, as it is what it is. But if the body becomes infected in the future, it must needs be allowed to die.
The irony here is that a few FReepers actually think the LDS church is embracing homosexuality, while in reality, it’s the Church that is keeping homosexual leaders out of scouting, while striving to save the youth that are lost.
Thanks for the respectful dialog.
So far the opposite is true. But when litigation comes to force gay leadership, I hope that the LDS draws the line, not just for their troops, but for all of Scouting. And that will mean fighting, not leaving.

Those would have to be FReepers who have never met a Mormon. ;-)
