>>”When BSA welcomes gays into their ranks, my family leaves BSA.”<<

I enrolled my son in scouts up in Virginia. Come to find out, the scout leader was a lesbian.

Went to a couple of gatherings, not knowing this was the scout leader. I just thought it was some butchy lady helping out.

Nope......dyed in the wool diesel dike.

We left.

If the homosexuals believe that the public at large wants homosexuals in the scouting, they can start up their own operation instead of high-jacking an existing one.

YES!

They can call it the Queer Brigade. With those pretty pink and taupe little butt tight uniforms you just know mommy will want her little boy dressed to kill, eating arugula and learning the niceties of playing the flute. After all, this is the 21 century. We are sooo modern and sooo tolerant.

“Of course, Huckabee ignored the fact hat the man’s abuser was actually a pedophile, not a homosexual, based on his actions.”

Uh, male on male sex, young or old, is homosexual behavior. The fact that the queer chose to have sex with a minor male makes him a homosexual pedophile.

They already have. I expect it will soon dwarf the BSA in membership numbers, lol.

I think you are very perceptive and your concerns legitimate. I had noticed the same thing with some college students I taught (straight guys who were acting gay, even though they had girlfriends - a liability of cultural osmosis.)

Ha, they say on the website it is “a different kind of scouting”. Thanks for that link and tip off.

Here is a letter from one of the Navigators leaders to the NY Times:

“Letter to the NY Times Edotors 7/20/12
To the Editor:
It is a sad day for parents and children across America who will miss out on the scouting experience because of the decision, yet again, of the Boy Scouts of America to exclude gays. In 2000, I was scoutmaster of Troop 103 in East Harlem, which started in a homeless shelter, when the Supreme Court ruled that the Boy Scouts of America could discriminate.
In 2003, many volunteers and I started Navigators USA, a coed, secular scouting organization whose founding principles are based on exactly the issues the Boy Scouts of America refuses to address. The top priority for future generations is to be more than tolerant, to understand and celebrate our differences without fear or prejudice.
The Boy Scouts of America does not own scouting. It is time to give all people the scouting experience.
ROBIN BOSSERT
Executive Director, Navigators USA
Brooklyn, July 18, 2012”

The site ... http://thenewcivilrightsmovement.com ... is an extremely hostile homosexual activist site.

Here’s the real battlefront within the BSA ...

CEO on Scouts’ governing board opposes ban on gays

APNewsBreak: Boy Scouts reaffirm ban on gays
July 17, 2012

“... The announcement suggests that hurdles may be high for a couple of members of the (volunteer) national executive board — Ernst & Young CEO James Turley and AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson — who have recently indicated they would try to work from within to change the policy. Both of their companies have been commended by gay-rights groups for gay-friendly employment policies. ...”

AT&T CEO Stephenson is next in line to assume the top position of president of the executive board in 2014.

AT&T and Ernst&Young are both members of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (currently has 119 corporate members)

“Huckabee ignored the fact hat the man’s abuser was actually a pedophile, not a homosexual”

The author ignores the fact that Dan Savage, a frequent visitor to the White House, asserts that there are “Good Pedophiles”.

Now that was easy.

First, heterosexuals do commit sex crimes with children. Maybe homosexuals are more likely to do so. But that isn’t the point.

If you have a male leader, and male kids, then it doesn’t matter if the scout leader might have been tempted to get sexual with a teenage girl, since there won’t be any teenage girls around.

The problem with gay attraction is it is unnatural logically — you can’t create a group with gay people that doesn’t risk sexual attraction.

Many boy scouts are past puberty, so it isn’t really “pedophilia” — it’s minor homosexual sex.

And it is also likely that homosexuals ARE more likely to entertain sex with younger partners, because homosexuality appears to be an opportunity-based sexuality, and with much fewer homosexuals available, it is necessary for homosexuals to go after a group that is still ambiguous and confused about sexuality, or can be coerced into sex acts, thus they go after teenagers.

I’ve searched high and low for a quick reference to reporting such and can’t find it. Your situation demonstrates that so many focus on the same sex aspect of BSA’s policies, myself included.

So I contacted my local Scout office and was told that even in your situation, to contact the District Executive or go to the Council Executive immediately and report it.

I’ve been searching for the National policy on line, but can’t find it. I’m either using the wrong search terms or it’s not out there. I get lots of pro-homo links though.

"The site ... http://thenewcivilrightsmovement.com ... is an extremely hostile homosexual activist site."

When I was searching for the BSA homo reporting policy, that was the first site that came up on google. Other search sites, not.

If any of you don't know it by now, google is evil.

Those 2 bassturds on the Executive Board need to go.

Keep the “Queers” out of the Boy Scouts no matter what age they are.

Don’t try logic with liberal idiots. It’s a waste of your brain cells.

Is the specific Scoutmaster position still limited to men?

A lot of us certainly don’t like Huckabee and he has A LOT of explaining to do for some of the idiotic things he’s done, but even so - this ENTIRE SIDE OF THE DEBATE is wide open for someone to step in, and it looks like he’s doing so. The mainstream Republicans don’t want to get anywhere near this issue.

Part of the dodge of the argument is the mixture of terms from different fields and the clouding of definition. Leftists love to corrupt the language to suit them.

A pedophile is technically a person of either gender with an unnatural sexual attraction to prepubescent children of any sex. This is a psychological term. It means children prior to any manifested signs of puberty.

Most of the homosexual abuse of young boys is their targeting of boys entering puberty which in the legal terminology is child molestation as it occurs before the age of consent.

The classic pedophile that grabs five year olds is a completely different animal than the typical homosexual chicken-hawk hoping to create a young toy like himself. He is trying to win the argument by mixing terms.

They create a much higher percentage of their own kind if they can indoctrinate the young.

Ask Penn State what happens when you let a homosexual around children.
