"I feel that all people should be allowed to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation,” Romney said during a debate clip posted on the Web site YouTube.com.
Boy Scout policy is to NOT allow homosexual scoutmasters. Romney said he "feels all people should be able to participate regardless of their sexual orientation." This is the opposite of Boy Scout policy. You are twisting here and I think you know it. If Romney had left it at the comment that the Scouts should make their own decision then that would have been a fine political dodge. But Romney didn't. He stated his personal opinion that the Scouts should have homosexual scout masters. You can read, so it is ridiculous for me to have to give an idiot lesson on this.
“Boy Scout policy is to NOT allow homosexual scoutmasters.”
And in 10 years on the BSA national board and a HUGE BSA supporter, Mitt Romney did not change their position or make any official move to do so.
As an Eagle scout, I am glad that Mitt Romney has been such a big supporter of the Boy Scouts and supports their right to make their own decisions about scoutmasters.
