I have read studies that demonstrate that homosexuals are much more likely to be pedophiles. Further I think homosexuals hide behind the term pedophile as in “he isn't a homosexual, he's a pedophile” If an adult male specifically targets boys but acts “straight” otherwise is he really straight? For that matter if he only targets boys does can he accurately be called a pedophile? A pedophile wouldn't target one sex or another if they didn't have a preference and isn't the preference what determines one being heterosexual rather than homosexual? There are cases where pedophiles have targeted both prepubescent boys and girls. That would be a pedophile. One that exclusively targets boys (and is a male himself) is by definition homosexual.

I am sorry but one can’t hide behind the label pedophile because it is a much worse word than homosexual. But someone can definitely be a homosexual and a pedophile.

The obvious question to ask is why would a homosexual (who is not a parent of a boy in the troop) want to get involved in scout leadership? It is very difficult to imagine a 100% pure self-sacrificing motive.

Wouldn’t someone look with suspicion on a man who volunteers to be the towel boy for a junior high girls volleyball team?

I guess my point is why take the risk? Are the Boy Scouts so short on qualified leaders that it needs to take in gays as leaders? After all, the Boy Scouts is all about the needs of the boys. It is not intended to be about the need of scout leaders, gay or straight.

The main stream media has gone all out to portray the Roman Catholic Church’s problems with a segment of their priests as “pedophiles”. Funny how the gender of the abused children is almost exclusively male.

Face it, male homosexuals desire young boys, and I don’t mean 16-year-olds, either. Younger, much younger....

You hit the nail right on the old head, Durus. Well said.

Don’t try logic with liberal idiots. It’s a waste of your brain cells.
