Probably more worried about federal government defaulting at this point.
The Boy Scouts of America should not become a recruitment tool for the homosexual community. The fairies should stick to their “gay bars” and let America’s boys have the forests. Didn’t we learn a damn thing from the Sandusky fiasco?
No father and a lesbian mother who is willing to use him as a prop for political points.
All the counseling in the world isn't going to give him his childhood back.
What authority does he have over the Boy Scouts?
The POTUS is the titular head of the Boy Scouts.
I'd like to know what Romney thinks on the matter of queers serving as scout leaders.
“Probably more worried about federal government defaulting at this point.”
They’ll just print more rubles - I mean dollars - to make up the lack. Quantitative glasnost or something.
An “online petition”. ROTFL! “Online petitions” are way overrated.
I went to facebook to post my support for the Boyscouts standing up for what is right. The pro-homosexuals have taken over. It is so sad to see them do this to the BOY SCOUTS. Here is three postings:

“The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.”
Can someone please explain to me how discriminating and hating is a ethically and morally right decision? If that’s what the BSA truly believes in, then I am shocked.

Is bigotry a core value for a scout to develop character? You can never change the true nature of an individual. Most are simply trying to participate in society as equals without malice. Excluding fellow human beings for being different is an elitist, bigoted, and self riotous act. By choosing to behave this way you are labeling yourself as such. Either you are a bigot, elitist and intolerant person or you are not. There’s no conditional argument to justify such behavior.

I’m really getting tired of all these biblical explanations as to why homosexuality and gay marriage is wrong. The bible was created and written by man, not god, marriage was created before christianity and was for the sole purpose of property exchange, and how on earth does a gay marriage effect straight marriages and divorce rates? I’m perfectly fine with people not accepting or believing that a...See More
About as meaningful as on line polls.
Yup!
Can someone give me an answer to my question at #2?
give me a mo
You are correct, titular - in title only. The Boy Scouts will tell him to pound sand.
What's Romney's position on queer boy scout leaders? Anybody know?A campaign assistant for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney confirmed that the former Massachusetts governor's opposition to the Boy Scouts' ban on homosexual leaders, which he publicly expressed in 1994, still stands. According to the Deseret News, Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul told the Associated Press that Romney is still holding to the political stand he adopted nearly 20 years ago when he said during an unsuccessful run for Ted Kennedy's U.S. Senate that while he supported “the right of the Boy Scouts of America to decide what it wants to do on that issue,” he also felt that “all people should be able to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation.” --Link
I thought that was probably the case but wasn't certain. Thanks for the info.
In 1994 Willard was on the board of the Boy Scouts of America...
