....this really saddens me, as I was a GS leader some 30 years ago.

While I viewed some of the leaders less then feminine,I never thought about them being GAY! ....I guess I was really naive back then.

Talk about naive - I don't even remember thinking some of my leaders were "less than feminine!" While most of the leaders were mothers, some were single college students; the meetings and camp-outs were fun, and that issue never came up at all.

But then, even if they were a little "off" I probably wouldn't have recognized the signs. I still have trouble picking up on them, unless the person is really flaming. As a kid, if they were there, they went right over my head.

No, not naive. It just wasn't a big deal. Now, if you're not thinking about sex in some way 24/7, then you're just a prude.
