Pedophile has noting to do with it. Two different things.

You can dispense with homophobic crap as well. My nephew is only gay. I enjoy holidays with him. He helped me move. My kids play board games with him. I support everything he does.

LOL you are angry!

What is your fear of your child going off with a homosexual scoutmaster, what is your fear?

Is it your bigotry? Pedophilia has nothing to do with it, then what is it, what is your fear, what is your phobia, your homophobia?


You assumed the "faggot" would do something to your kid, then claimed it had nothing to do with pedophelia, what is your fear?

Answer please,


Homophobia= fear of homosexuals.
Or religion,.
Or is it hate?

either way it is intolerance

Kudos for your nephew.

Edit: before you answer this post I want one stat that says Gays want to screw kids. Or are any different than heteros, outside of who they like to kiss.

The issue is normal sexual tension, not pedophilia. If you had a 14 year old daughter, would you let her shower, sleep and go out into the woods with a 21 year old male scout leader? Let's agree both keep their thoughts to themselves and behave, the fact is it's sexual tension not needed for children that age in that atmospehere. It would be the same for a young s8 male scout and adult male gay leader, the sexual tension would be there. The only way to handle it is with lots of rules, which would ruin the intent of scouting.

It is patently obvious that his concern was of the inherent sexual interjection in scouting. Prior to this, sex was not something officially stated in scouting. While I disagree with AVG's assertion, I do not see him as a discriminatory individual. Jumping up and down while hysterically yelling "homophobe" will not render him so.

Not necessarily true Tak. Soopa interjected the sexual connotations. As a parent, I check out all adults that will be looking after my kids. I meet their teachers and school administration. I meet their friends before going to the movies or mall. My concern is influences introduced by adults and peers. It is not always a sexual nature. Soopa made that suggestion. My nephew is openly gay and an adopted Korean as well. My kids see have had family gatherings with him and his significant other. There is not influence there but we were questioned. As a parent we provided answers. It is not unusual to see two female HS students holding hands and open about their relationship. Kids today are more accepting of it. I have to be more accepting of it if I want to have a relationship with my nephew. And I do. He is a great kid who has grown into a find young man that teach 6th grade math. Homophobe I'm not. Agreeing with the lifestyle I do not see eye to eye. Then again, quite a few heterosexual lifestyles I don't see eye to eye on either.

I don't discriminate. I hate everyone equally!

My apologies for interjecting then.

Please interject. I was not clear when I said I would be concerned if my kid was wandering off in the woods with a openly gay scout master. My concerns is in the scout master being responsible. Responsible in watching my children. Not providing mixed messages. Everyone provides mixed messages from one to to another.

.

But this is about gay boy scouts not gay boy scout leaders.
If you want to deal with the ban on gay boy scout leaders you can take the issue of the lesbian who got banned from being a boy scout leader as she was gay.

This issue is about children, not adults in sports, in which I have no problem with the gay issue

So what about kids in sports, should gay kids be banned from team sports?
Hey I asked that already didn't I.

Again, for me it's more about sexual tension and risk regarding children with adults. As I said, you don't see male coaches in the girls locker room because they would be aroused by the girls nakedness. I don't see how a gay male scout leader could ignore seeing numerous naked male teens. We are aroused by what we're attracted to. It doesn't make the person bad, just not the right situation for adults and children to be in.

If we're honest, if a open gay scout leader came to pick up your 15 year old son to take out into the woods for a 7 day trip, thoughts of concern would cross your mind. This isn't band camp, etc....

So if it was band camp instead of scout camp you would raise no objections?

Good point soopa

Wouldn't you, are you that afraid of nonces being everywhere?

.

Someone said earlier that such things never had a place in scouting.

Scouts should be as sexually neutral as possible

So it wouldn't matter if they was homo or hetro would it?

The reason we separate genders post puberty is because of sexuality pure and simple. If you put large numbers of people in that position there will always be problems of that nature.

So child molesters don't abuse kids before puberty???????
What about if its a woman child molester who abuses little boys, how is your ban on gays going to help there?

They are basically creating the same situation by allowing open homosexuality. There will be problems and in the case of the Boy Scouts I fear it may be fatal to the organization.

Isn't that exactly what they said about the military?

I was going to respond to more of what you said but I think quoting this last bit of nasty insult does the job.

Isn't it tempting to take scripture to those sorts of bible basher

AVG, I have a caustic way about me, I mean no harms.

*laughs at Takeda then ignores his constant insults*

Mister AVG, I understand your point, I was only asking what you based your opinions on.

I do not see a threat from gay scoutmasters while you do, simply invoking open debate. Why are gays so creepy to people?

Unlike Takeda, who just openly attacks a post because I wrote it, no matter the context.

This comes from living in NJ where the caustic crap from NY washes up on your shores. Like those plastic nasty beach whistles they are fondly called.

Mister AVG, I understand your point, I was only asking what you based your opinions on.

My opinions are based on my experiences as a parent of teenagers. My nephew who is openly gay. My experiences in the scouts. 48 years of being on this mud ball called Earth.

I do not see a threat from gay scoutmasters while you do,

Only in the respect of sending mixed messages. Not sexual. You interjected that notion. Pedophiles are a whole other thread.

Unlike Takeda, who just openly attacks a post because I wrote it, no matter the context.

Completely unfounded.

What part of gay male and pedophile are two different things as I stated in my last post did you not grasp? Is it always about sex? Do you mean to tell me, out side of sexual contact, that a young mind can be influenced by another in just about anything? In short, I check out everyone my children come in contact with. I don't care if it is the Pope. Tunnel vision is a bad thing. You seem to have it with gay males, children and sex. Parents get concerned and have reservations with sending their kids off without making contact with the adult that will be looking after them. My nephew is an adult. As stated, they play board games together. Attend movies. I host cook outs where is significant other attends. What part of homophobia did you want to discuss?

As far as tolerance you seem to have problems with inner city ghettos. What is the fear? The actual city or the people that inhabit the place? For someone who promotes tolerance must certainly tolerate everything else in life correct?

Hug Christie for me.
