Its a risk to children the boy scouts don't knowingly let homosexuals be troop leaders and they don't have this problem I say admit married homosexuals if I remember the Celibacy rule was enacted in the Middle Ages because they didn't want Bishops to have sons who would claim Feudal Birthrights to church lands. No way should homosexuals celibate or otherwise be given jobs near young boys.
