CEO on Scouts' governing board opposes ban on gays
The Associated Press ^ | June 13, 2012 | David Crary

A high-profile member of the Boy Scouts of America's governing board says he doesn't support the Scouts' policy of excluding gays and will work from within to seek a change.

Ernst & Young CEO James Turley, whose accounting firm has welcomed gays and lesbians in its own work force, becomes the first member of the Scouts' Executive Board known to publicly disapprove of the policy.

We’re sooooo proud of our Eagle Scout; his fag-a** scoutmaster is another matter.

What happened to:

The United States antitrust law is a body of laws that prohibits anti-competitive behavior (monopoly) and unfair business practices.

Antitrust laws are intended to encourage competition in the marketplace. These competition laws make illegal certain practices deemed to hurt businesses or consumers or both, or generally to violate standards of ethical behavior.

Government agencies known as competition regulators, along with private litigants, apply the antitrust and consumer protection laws in hopes of preventing market failure.

The term antitrust was originally formulated to combat “corporate trusts,” which were big businesses

This is a core tactic of the sodomites: infiltrate EVERY institution covertly.

Indeed. And if this CEO and his ilk support homosexuality in the Boy Scouts, then why don’t they support heterosexual males in the Girl Scouts? Sounds like a double standard to me.

The Boy Scouts are very strict about things like that, I am going with my son on a trip, and I had to take a Youth Protection Training Course and get certified before I was allowed to go, and they emphasize that no adult is ever to be alone with a child, I guarantee, they don’t mess around when it comes to that.

This isn’t about hating gay people.

Only an idiot would let a 15 year-old girl sleep alone in a tent with a 15-year-old boy.

So why would anybody want to let a 15-year-old homosexual sleep in a tent with a 15-year-old boy?

It’s more than that, the opening portion of being a Boy Scout tells you the danger of people who are sexually interested in you as a young boy, a.k.a. defense against child molesters, and it doesn’t matter if it’s a man or a woman, it’s the introductory part of the BSA, and it would go totally against that part to have someone with a sexual attraction to males to be in the situations of the Boy Scouts with them, especially when you are an adolescent. And if someone who’s homosexual thinks that’s offensive, well as a Boy Scout, there are rules and disciplinary action for you making overtly sexual advances toward girls too, so all things considered, it’s not all that discriminatory.

I would hope not. Our son is grown, but when he was a boy and in Scouts, there is no way in the world we would have let him go ANYWHERE with a gay leader. Also, allowing this would go counter to the aims of the Boy Scouts:

“The BSA goal is to train youth in responsible citizenship, character development, and self-reliance through participation in a wide range of outdoor activities, educational programs, and, at older age levels, career-oriented programs in partnership with community organizations. For younger members, the Scout method is part of the program to inculcate typical Scouting values such as trustworthiness, good citizenship, and outdoors skills, through a variety of activities such as camping, aquatics, and hiking.[4][5]” (Wikipedia)

Everybody knows this, and it would immediately wreck the movement. That’s the goal.

James Turley looks a bit queer. Probably a multisexual...
