Liberal Judaism and Liberal Christianity are strange birds. Its an indication of those who don’t really believe but want the social trappings of religion. Being a Jew or Christian or Catholic is just a label they embrace often purposely to undermine the very religion they identify with.

Liberals are like that. That is why they seek to force their way into predominantly conservative organizations. You never see conservatives trying to become members of GLAAD or other left wing groups nor do we try to take over them or change their policies. That is the difference between conservatives and liberals. We may not like them but we respect their freedom to believe what they believe and run their organizations the way they see fit. That is something that used to be appreciated in this country. The idea of Freedom of Association today has become chained down in order to promote politically correct homogeneity.

The whole idea of gay scouts is based on a false narrative. The first being that young people of scouting age are mature enough to identify with a sexual orientation and even if they are should it be something that is a focus? Scouting was never about sex in my troop. It was the furthest thing from our minds and that was a good thing and while that may not be the case for ever child its during this time of development that it is important that bad sexual influences not enter in. The last thing a young man needs who is just starting to deal with his sexuality is another misguided boy showing sexual interest in him. So much time is spent on the self esteem of self identified homosexuals but what about the majority of normal boys?

Do we really want to tolerate the environment at campouts that is indistinguishable from that at English boarding schools? I sure don’t. Its unnecessary. Homosexuality by its very nature is largely predatory simply because most people do not have such overt tendencies which means that those with such drives who wish to fulfill them usually have to do it through subterfuge with those who identify as straight usually involving some form of sexual overtness. A friend of ours encountered such a situation when a “bisexual” girl joined their church and badly influenced their impressionable daughter for a time who then went through a phase where she approached nearly all her girl friends trying to get them to kiss her making inappropriate uncomfortable comments, etc. Thankfully it passed but not before all the other girls had to deal with it. It doesn’t help that the common accepted stereotype of gay behavior is one that tolerates sexual overtness in language and demeanor so much so that it is almost expected. Sure you can kick them out if they cause trouble but why invite trouble to begin with. Its like inviting a child that is proud pot smoker into a troop provided they don’t smoke pot at camp.
