How about starting an exclusive Gay/Lesbian Scouts?
newb2012

Posted on 04/28/2013 7:28:37 AM PDT by newb2012

Have been hearing all the discussions about allowing gays in boy scouts teams. I too am concerned like most of us about seeing gay members in boy scouts teams along side my son's bed. Its as good/bad as allowing a girl to be in a boy scouts team where there is a great chance for the weaker(/sarc) sex to get molested. Instead why not have an exclusive gay scouts team where everyone can feel at home. I'm sure there is no way that can be called discrimination as we already have been discriminating 'boy scouts' and 'girl scouts' for ages.

I hate to imagine what the merit badges would be for.

That would be cool. You could get a gender change surgery merit badge.

Question: "How about starting an exclusive Gay/Lesbian Scouts?"

Answer: How about criminalizing Sodomite behavior? It was properly criminal for centuries. Physically it causes disease, morally it degrades a person, psychologically it warps a person; just look at the seminaked lesbians attacking the Catholic Bishop.

In all of this mess it’s the chuckleheaded adults we need to be going after, not the kids. I don’t care how gay any child seems, we have God’s word on it that he hasn’t designed a “gay” identity for them.

Interesting idea, but with the Homosexuals standing at less than 2% there would not be enough demand to start a troop in a given area. A second issue is innocence, for a sexual predator, it is not near as exciting reworking sexually abused children as it is “breaking in” a new one. So there will be far less volunteer Scout “Masters”.

Just like the “Palestinians” the goal is not freedom, the goal is to destroy at any cost. Some people are just evil to the core.

Imagine their equivalents:

Cub Scouts —> ChickenHawks

Boy/Girl Scouts ——> Gay Blades

Explorers ——> Semenarians

Adult Leadership ——> None

The homosexualists are an arm of the left:

http://www.uhuh.com/nwo/communism/comgoals.htm
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

They are not attempting to seek redress of some injustice, as they pretend, and as their apologists pretend. They do not desire a separate scouting organization- that would defeat their actual purpose, which is to break up or weaken institutions that harbor or espouse real American values. This would occur because, in the case of the Scouts, once the homosexuals infested it, good people would shun it. Thus, Scouting would be destroyed, and the left would grow stronger.

What a great idea. Can you imagine? A Merit Badge in show tunes and one for flood prevention on the Mississippi River.

Welcome newb2012 and nice thought provoking probe.

California just passed a law making it illegal for groups to try to straighten out gays? It made so called reparative therapy illegal.

So why are NAMBLA and LGBT accusing the Boy Scouts of sex discrimination? What if the Boy Scouts “accidentally” turn a gay boy straight? Why would they want a boy under BSA influence?

How can the BSA ever win - at least in California and more states to come?

It just shows their true agenda - anything to screw up society and the moral order. And to infiltrate BSA with gay counselors and leaders.

The left will never agree to that, because the purpose of the exercise is *not* the advocacy of homosexuality, but the destruction of the Boy Scouts as an organization, because it is not controlled and integrated in the agenda of the left.

To put this in perspective, the left learned the value of youth movements from the Nazis. Just five years after the founding of the Hitler Jugend, to create a next generation of ideologically pure Nazi party members, the socialist and communist youth leagues in Norway merged to form a youth movement based on the same idea: to create an organization to train the next generation of ideologically pure socialist-communist leaders.

And this is why Anders Breivik tried to exterminate as many of the Workers’ Youth League (AUF) of the Labour Party in Norway as possible. And his doing so has effectively crippled the socialist-communist effort to destroy Norway and the Norwegians as a unique nation and people, for a generation or two.

In any event, the Boy Scouts represent an organization in America that embraces many things the left hates and wants to destroy, because they are the opposite of the leftist agenda. These things include:

1) Embrace of religion and religious values.
2) An apolitical nature. Unless they are leftist, then they are “the enemy.”
3) Endorsement of traditional values of family, loyalty, patriotism, Americanism, and individuality.
4) Personal and sexual morality, which leftists find abhorrent.

Importantly, the Socialist International, an organization of leftist political parties from around the world, to which the Democrats are affiliated, if not members, holds as its platform several ideas in contention with the Boy Scouts.

That nations, religions, history, unique cultures and peoples exist for no reason, are inherently bad and cause war. Therefore socialists must strive to internationalize, homogenize and make humans as generic as possible.

Individual success and failure are to be discouraged, with low level mediocrity much preferred over individual success based on intelligence, skill, motivation, talent, wealth or other unfair things.

Abundance in anything is seen as destructive to socialism, in which all things must be rationed by the state to maintain its power. So that which is abundant must be wasted or destroyed, or the fact of its abundance concealed from the public. Abundance is to be reserved solely for the ruling elites.

I'm sorry to undermine your argument but I discovered recently that they have been admitting girls into the Boy Scouts for some time. I have spoken to some of these girls and they seem to be doing OK. BTW they did not appear to be lesbian.

As for the gay scouts, I too am concerned about the recent decision. But I'm not sure if it would be better to have a 100% gay troop that is all about being gay. I did know one boy who came out as gay after he had been in the Boy Scouts. At the time he was in the Scouts I always thought he was a nice kid and my impression was that he was a good scout. If there were any problems concerning his membership, I don't know about them. But I'm not sure that there wouldn't be problems in other cases. I do agree that gays should not be scout leaders.

Yep. Since about 1970. I was a member of one of the first co-ed Explorer posts.
