I said it was coming. Many of us did. Two years ago this week the Boy Scouts of America voted to welcome into its ranks “open and avowed” homosexuality (boy-on-boy sexual attraction and behavior), thereby disavowing the “morally straight” Scout Oath its members are sworn to uphold.
Shortly thereafter I warned, “In so doing, the [Boy Scouts of America (BSA)] effectively waived the only legal defense it once had to preclude openly homosexual Scout leaders and gender-confused girls from its ranks: religious and moral conviction. It’s only a matter of time until the BSA is forced to capitulate to sexual extremists’ political demands and allow homosexual adults – men who define their identity based upon carnal appetites for other males – to take your boys on overnight camping trips.”
It’s happened. On Thursday BSA President Robert Gates announced that the organization’s unconditional surrender to the homofascist left is forthcoming and that the BSA will soon invite men who have sex with males (MSM) to become troop leaders. “The status quo in our movement’s membership standards cannot be sustained,” Gates disingenuously claimed, indicating that to maintain the BSA’s century-old proscription on “out” homosexual men would spell “the end of us as a national movement.”
This, of course, is hyperbolic nonsense and simply reflects a continuation of Gates’ long-standing pro-homosexual activism. While serving as secretary of defense he both advocated for and oversaw the implementation of the full repeal of the military’s “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy. This has effectively homosexualized the U.S. military, resulting in rampant anti-Christian discrimination and an explosion (a 33 percent spike) in male-on-male homosexual assaults. Does any honest, sane, thinking person imagine that a comparable increase in homosexual assault will not befall the Boy Scouts?
Michael Brown, Ph.D., is an expert on both homosexual activism and the disordered behaviors that define the homosexual lifestyle. He is author of such books as, “Can You Be Gay and Christian?” and the upcoming “Outlasting the Gay Revolution: Where Homosexual Activism Is Really Going and How to Turn the Tide.”
In an interview with WND, Dr. Brown said that he “believes if the Boy Scouts accept openly homosexual leaders, they will cease to be a positive moral force in the lives of American boys.”
Stated Brown: “This opens the door for sexual predators, a real danger, and it opens the door for gay boys to be flirting with straight boys under the auspices of the Boy Scouts.”
The BSA has already been plagued by a long history of man-on-boy homosexual assaults perpetrated by closeted Scout leaders. The shocking extent of the abuse has only recently been exposed as the BSA has worked hard to cover up the scandal.
Parents, the BSA is about to place political correctness above your child’s safety to a level unprecedented in the once-honorable organization’s long and storied history. This is not an opinion. It’s an empirical, quantifiable certainty.
Consider, for instance, a study published in the left-leaning Archives of Sexual Behavior, of over 200 convicted pedophiles. It found that “86 percent of offenders against males described themselves as homosexual or bisexual.” This demonstrates, as observes Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council: “Since almost 30 percent of child sexual abuse is committed by homosexual or bisexual men (one-third male-on-male abuse times 86 percent identifying as homosexual or bisexual), but less than 3 percent of American men identify themselves as homosexual or bisexual, we can infer that homosexual or bisexual men are approximately 10 times more likely to molest children than heterosexual men.”
This makes perfect sense when coupled with another 2001 study in the same peer-reviewed publication. It found that nearly half of all “gay”-identified men who participated in research were molested by a homosexual pedophile as boys: “46 percent of homosexual men and 22 percent of homosexual women reported having been molested by a person of the same gender. This contrasts to only 7 percent of heterosexual men and 1 percent of heterosexual women reporting having been molested by a person of the same gender.”
(View this shocking hidden-camera footage of “gay” men admitting that they weren’t “born that way,” but that they were “made that way” through childhood sexual assault.)
The connection between homosexual abuse and “gay identity” is undeniable. Although clearly not all “gay”-identified men and women abuse children, or were abused as children, the verifiable reality is that an alarmingly high percentage of them do and were. As with most forms of abuse, the cycle is both circular and vicious. “Born that way?” Not so much. “Made that way?” Sadly, it appears so.
Yet the BSA will not let facts get in the way of its extremist sexual agenda. “We must deal with the world as it is, not as we might wish it to be,” Gates said on Thursday.
Absolute garbage. This is not the world as it is. This is a world of the secular left’s making. I will again predict here that the BSA will soon open its ranks to sexually confused girls. Earlier this month the Girl Scouts of America similarly announced that it will allow boys pretending to be girls to join its ranks.
Parents, you’ve been warned. If you leave your children in the Boy or Girls Scouts of America, anything that might happen is on your head.
Dr. Brown agrees: “Given the new direction of the Boy Scouts, Brown urges parents to seek out an alternative,” reports WND.
Urged Brown: “Now would be a great time to find out more about the Christian boy scouts alternative, Trail Life USA.”
Indeed, Trail Life’s Membership Standards state, without equivocation, “The basis for the program’s ethical and moral standards are found in the Bible. In terms of sexual identification and behavior, we affirm that any sexual activity outside the context of the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman is sinful before God and therefore inconsistent with the values and principles of the program.
“Within these limits, we grant membership to adults and youth who do not engage in or promote sexual immorality of any kind, or engage in behavior that would become a distraction to the mission of the program.”
Trail Life’s chairman, John Stemberger, says his organization is “saddened” by Gates’ announcement.
“It is tragic that the BSA is willing to risk the safety and security of its boys because of peer pressure from activists groups,” he said. “Trail Life USA remains committed to timeless Christian values.”
And the BSA remains committed to child-endangerment and extremist sexual activism.
Leherer is a little bit before my time, so I’m kind of surprised by some of the stuff he touched on. Pretty tame for nowadays, but do you know if his material raised any eyebrows in 1960? I know Lenny Bruce was performing around that same time frame, so maybe he set the standard for others. Maybe I shouldn’t be so surprised - I remember watching Buddy Hackett on HBO and he was pretty salty for an old timer... funny, but salty.
From the BSofA rulebook:
Separate accommodations for adults and Scouts required. When camping, no youth is permitted to sleep in the tent of an adult other than his or her own parent or guardian. Councils are strongly encouraged to have separate shower and latrine facilities for females. When separate facilities are not available, separate times for male and female use should be scheduled and posted for showers. Likewise, youth and adults must shower at different times.
This just in, NABMLA has announced it’s merging with the Boy Scouts of America to form the Rump Rangers.
Don’t anyone get me wrong, I’m using black humor here because the alternative is for me to punch the computer screen.
I just got myself a gig as a Girl Scout leader by convincing them I was a girl trapped in a man’s body.

You’re full of it blaming Mitt Romney *rme*
My personal experience is that there have always been gay men in Boy Scouts. My Dad and other leaders pretty much beat the crap out of one in the early seventies.
And herein lies the real reason for this problem: there are no more Dads in the Boy Scouts. A couple of our local troops are run almost entirely by women. The women who run the troops “understand” the queers and are not threatened by them. So that is why this is happening.
Men need to stand up and get involved with their sons.
Romney was all about influencing the Boy Scouts to de-emphasis their anti-gay policies.
That was my memory of the situation.
Is that memory faulty?
Boys are not allowed to share tents with unrelated men.
I quit the Boy Scouts in 1954 (I was 13) because the Scoutmaster was teaching my fellow scouts the “joys” of homosexual behavior on one of our camping trips.
I chose not to participate, and you might say that that experience “colored” my view of homosexuals!
Homosexuality is a perversion!
And one is not born homosexual — one is seduced or forced into that behavior!
Mel Reynolds would sign up today!
From your short story written several years ago- prescient:
“And finally, the last old-guard bunker to fall: the Boy Scouts, completing the cycle of government-approved sodomite corruption. For a century the Scouts were morally straight? According to whose definition of straight? So why shouldn’t adult homosexual Scout leaders share tents with teenagers in our brave new world? Don’t be a homophobe, we were told. Each child can make his or her own free choice about their gender identity, but now with helpful adult mentors to guide them along the formerly forbidden paths.”
There are also scout alternates now.
I am not sure Boy Scouts was founded with the notion of scouting out boys.
A general God to which to be “reverent” is not going to hold a candle to Jesus Christ either. It’s too easy to recast that general “God.”
I think all you need is one screw-up where some 40-year old guy rapes a 11-year old kid. Just apply the law, and put the guy in general prison population and let the system work the way it should. Then turn around as the family and sue the guy’s estate (I’d figure $2 million is a good start), and then sue the BSOA for around $20 million for not providing protection. Basically...the prison system will fix one problem and the legal system will help to destroy BSOA. Out of the eventual ashes....BSOA will get fixed.
Already at that time? You were right to quit. He should have been thrown out. I hope others followed you and quit too
Reality keeps catching up to fiction, faster and faster.
FRankly, I was terrified; I did not tell anyone what had happened until years later. I have no idea what happened to the troop.
When we moved to Jacksonville in 1955, I refused to join BSA, despite the urgings of my parents. My mom and dad never knew why.
Too right, Matt.
The Bible says that God turn sinners over to their own evil devices which destroys them. He does not have to destroy them; His punishment is getting out of the way or removing His hand of protection.
With this happening in the Boy Scouts, any parent that puts their son in that institution is basically giving the okay for the rape of their minor sons. There is no denying it and the only victims will be the children. The parents should be arrested with the pedophile.
Its all about the money, even to Gates. All the corporate sponsers are pulling out of the boy scouts unless they go homosexual, its money and power once again.
