Leftists are not “activists”, they are INFECTIVISTS.

They can’t be satisfied until their perverse and twisted worldview pervades every aspect of our lives.

why would anyone want a homo in the boyscouts?

Scouts under attack again!

[2banana]

Funny how the left does not want to start the “Gay Boy Scouts” but instead have to destroy anything that does not agree with their point-of-view...

[icwhatudo]

Somehow the idea of allowing homosexual men taking little boys into the woods overnight doesn’t strike these folk as supremely stupid.

Poofters!

The building in question was constructed with money raised by the Scouts 80 years ago. Since that time, the Council has paid all costs associated with the maintenance, repair, and improvement of the building. The land on which the building sits had been turned over to the city by the Scouts with the understanding that the Scouts would be able to stay in the Beaux Arts style building "in perpetuity."

The city isn't doing the Boy Scouts any favors. The Boy Scouts have a legal claim on the property. I'm sure some "legal scholar" will come along and explain how the homophiles have all the rights, and homosexual pedophiles have a constitutional right to other people's children.

It adds good perspective to return to Ann Coulter's 2002 column, Should Gay Priests Adopt. The Boy Scouts were being attacked then about sensible rules restricting gays from being scoutmasters as the Catholic Church has now also done in its seminaries.

Despite the growing media consensus that Catholicism causes sodomy, an alternative view -- adopted by the Boy Scouts -- is that sodomites cause sodomy. (Assume all the usual disclaimers here about most gay men not molesting boys, most Muslims being peaceful, and so on.)

It is a fact that the vast majority of the abuser priests -- more than 90 percent -- are accused of molesting teen-age boys. Indeed, the overwhelmingly homosexual nature of the abuse prompted The New York Times to engage in its classic "Where's Waldo" reporting style, in which the sex of the victims is studiedly hidden amid a torrent of genderless words, such as the "teen-ager," the "former student," the "victim" and the "accuser."

Meanwhile, no spate of sex scandals is engulfing the Boy Scouts of America. Inasmuch as the Boy Scouts were not taking risk-assessment advice from Norman Mineta, they decided to eliminate a whole category of potential problems by refusing to allow gay men to be scout leaders. Perhaps gay scout leaders just really liked camping. But it was also possible that gay men who wanted to lead troops of adolescent boys into the woods were up to no good.

For their politically incorrect risk-assessment technique, the Boy Scouts were denounced as troglodyte bigots in all outlets of appropriate liberal opinion. Cities and states across the country dropped their support for the scouts. The United Way, Chase Manhattan Bank and Textron withdrew millions of dollars in contributions.

And hell hath no fury like a New York Times editor spurned. The Times denounced the Supreme Court decision merely permitting the Boy Scouts to refuse gay scoutmasters as one of the court's "lowest moments." The Times "ethicist" advised readers that pulling their sons out of the Boy Scouts was "the ethical thing to do.

The Boy Scouts should be made into a campaign issue. I think most Americans think highly of the Scouts. I doubt that many know how the left is arrayed against them.

This is an interesting topic. I was a scout from my 7 year/6 month birthday (Bobcat) to age 18. I had not one, but two, homosexual child molesters as Scoutmaster, in 1961 and again in 1967. This is not a new problem.

Ask your liberal friends this: Should male leaders be able to take teenage girls camping without a female adult as chaperone?

[kimmie7]

In my town, the Boy Scouts have exploded in popularity. The unit into which my son just bridged went from 13 active members to 30. And that’s just after bridging!

Now, if the BSA has to go all girly-rainbows just watch for the inverse.

Excellent thread from the beginning of the crisis that answers many of the questions about this situation:

They argue that other private groups that discriminate in their membership, such as a Roman Catholic parish and the Colonial Dames of America, also enjoy subsidized leases and have not been threatened with the end of their lease agreements.

The reason the city don't persecute the Catholic parish is that they do let homosexuals be priests. And see where it has gotten them!

This is so sick.

Normal people should be suing to *demand* discrimination against people who suffer from same-sex attraction disorder.

Someone needs to gently remind Philadelphia that the Boy Scouts were just sued because some of their scouts were molested in years past by leaders and to point out that boy scouts are male as are the leaders, ergo homosexual molestation and that is why boy scouts don’t want homosexual leaders.
