Obama: Boy Scouts should admit gays and lesbians, opportunity should be open to all
Washington Post ^ | 02/04/2013

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama says the Boy Scouts of America should open its membership to gays and lesbians when its national executive board discusses the issue this week.

Obama praised the scouts as “a great institution” that promotes young people, giving them lifelong leadership training and opportunities. During a pre-Super Bowl interview on CBS, he said “no one should be barred from that.”

The Boy Scouts announced last week it was considering replacing its longstanding ban on gays with a policy to let troop sponsors make their own decision on the issue.

There is an earlier thread.

So Satan wants Boy Scout Leaders to abandon God.

Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE". And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.

Every time I read a headline like this, the following phrase comes to mind:

“Opinions vary. Thanks for sharing yours.”

Of course Obama supports homosexualism in the Boy Scouts.

He’s been engaging in homosexual sex since he was a young boy and he thinks he is perfectly normal.

Yes, and clearly it would be wrong to allow convicted sex offenders from being cub scout and brownie leaders. We can’t offend anyone in Obama’s America.

So would they have to rename it the Child Scouts? Or maybe the Diverse Young Persons’ of No Particular Gender or Preference Scouts?

Any reliable evidence of that?

After a handful of boys have been molested by a few gay scout leaders, the liberal media will do all they can to make the name “Boy Scouts” synonymous with molesting boys.

It will all because of Boy Scout culture, and nothing to do with gay behaviour.

It’s part of his overall plan to fundamentally change America.

Eh. Nobody at the WaPo seems to appreciate the 1st Amendments provisos for freedom of association, which multiple courts have ruled implies freedom of dissociation for private organizations, which the BSA is.

If they want a scouting group that admits gays, let someone found their own organization along those lines. They can call it the Rump Rangers and invent a whole new set of merit badges.

What Obama is doing is getting us in a little more trouble with God each and every day. God's direct judgement takes place over a number of years, and it will not affect Pres Zer0 one bit in the near term.

You have to know that obama is only a power mad reprobate since he obviously has no problem with the destruction of his own children's lives.

They are now "doomed" to a life of being in a "protective" prison...any "normal" life of growing into adulthood is not impossible.

The LGBT scouts.

Personally I hope they vote to just close the scouting program down before allowing this.

If it is allowed it will die anyway.

We are not under a King in the USA, WE VOTED FOR THE MAN, which is to say, WE WANT HIM TO LEAD US AND IMPLEMENT THE LAWS FOR US. And oh BTW, we also voted for Democrats to write laws in the Senate.

It’s not really Obama per se, it’s WE THE PEOPLE.
