We have subscribed to a number of false premises and false ideas in order to render ourselves able to be tolerant of (to tolerate) our gay friends and neighbors.

This sustained assault on the Boy Scouts extends these false premises to the breaking point and beyond.

Is there anyone, gay or straight, who would insist that the Girl Scouts, or a girl's HS sports team, or a class from an all-girl's school, have unaccompanied overnight (or multi-night) sojurns with unmarried heterosexual male volunteers? Of course not.

This situation is no different, and insisting that it is is a distortion of reality so significant that it threatens the very concept of reality.

Which is probably the point, come to think of it.

Did you know that a Girl Scout leader can be a lesbian? Girl Scouts didn't put up the fight that the Boy Scouts are. I greatly respect the Boy Scouts. I made it to Life Rank myself.

I am going to have to give this organization some money since they have lost so much $$$ on lawsuits against them.
