Boy Scouts of America votes to ease ban on gay members

[soopaman2]

So who is in charge of this organization and makes such decisions to ban homosexuals?
(Now so kindly retract it, only after massive critisizm)
I want his name. Who is the big "pecker" of this organization?

He can use a trolling from 4 chan...

I have a sneaking suspicion this is based on some misinterpreted verse in the bible, and the head honchos personal opinion.

Guess what book of Leviticus, anti gay bible citers...

You can't eat pork or shelfish either, nor can you "pull out" during intercourse.

But ya know, pick and choose. pick and choose.

I think it has more to do with what parents are comfortable with their boy scout children being exposed to.

i was 7 years old when i was in scouts, my exposure to homosexuality at that age was "We dont hate them, we dont make fun of them... we just dont do what they do." fair enough

but if i had a kid in boy scouts, and i was going to have an adult take my kid off into secluded areas for camping trips or whatever... im going to know every thing i could reasonably be expected to know about that person beforehand... additionally, I'm going to send the kid out with the type of adult i want them to be heavily influenced by.

now by making that statement im not implying that gay men are more susceptible to child molestation than straight men. I am simply trying to make the point that when you put your son into a program for young (often pre-teen) men, you are probably expecting him to be exposed to some young man stuff - camping, fishing, hunting, rock climbing, trapping etc.

anything inherently sexual is not on the list anywhere.

for some parents, they might not necessarily want a "large influence" in a young man's life to be a homosexual male.

and i think that is fair.

you as a parent should have the right to decide what sort of adults interact with and or provide guidance to your young children.

as for banning openly gay boyscouts? Sexuality or sexual discussion has no place in boy scout activities. none. there shouldnt be a need to ban gay scouts because nobody should even be made aware of your sexual orientation at that point in your life.
