Funny how these people all commend the Boy Scouts for what they do, but not on the terms under which they do it.

A Boy Scout who claims that he is gay or does not believe in God is no longer a Boy Scout by definition, no matter how much he insists that he still is. He can still "respect others," "conserve natural resources," and "be a leader in thought and in deed" -- he just can't call himself a Boy Scout in the process.

What makes this attitude truly pathetic is that these people have all placed a higher value on the organization to which they belong than they do on themselves. If I were gay or an atheist I would leave any organization that wouldn't accept me on those grounds, and consider myself better for doing it.
