Words mean things. The correct term for a homosexual pervert who likes to bugger teenage boys is "pederast". Look it up. I don't think I'm being a pedant in insisting on correct semantics. That said, pederasty, pedophilia, and any other sexual perversion are incompatible with the priesthood, ministry, teaching, coaching, boy scout leadership, or any other profession or vocation dealing with children. The Boy Scouts have the right idea: no queers allowed.

Well said!
Thanks AB, I do agree and usually, though I forgot in this in this particular sentence of my post, put “gay” in quotes to signify that it’s an agenda driven term of art. I hope you can appreciate I was trying to turn a phrase for its commercial benefit.
BTW, I also usually put the word “homosexual” in quotes because it isn’t a real word, everyone is born heterosexual but some choose to practice perversion.

Thank you for pointing that out though I’m unfamiliar with the age distinction of it’s definition. My point was to distinguish that perversion is the same regardless of the arbitrary clinical definition for age.

As a Scout leader I concur, however the BSA tends to use the term “homosexual” exclusively in its policy statements. It’s considered to be “unscoutlike” to use the precise adult terminology as we do, I learned this the hard way having been given a three month detention from the Scouter.com forums where this subject has been raging for months. It would seem that the liberals on that forum (which is the largest Scouter forum) are amassing a grass roots campaign of moral relativism and for local policy self-dictates. It’s sad, because it looks like the National Policy may give way to local option if the lib Scouters-(adult Scout leaders) have their way.
