9-year-old Boy Scout quits over 'unfairness of anti-gay rule'
Pink News ^ | Sep 5 2012 | Joseph Patrick McCormick

A nine-year-old Cub Scout has quit over the Boy Scouts of America’s policy which does not allow any gay member, volunteer or staff member.

Christopher Tiner, of Minot, Maine, had seen in the news that many Eagle Scouts had returned their badges in protest against the exclusion of gay members, volunteers and staff by the Boy Scouts of America.

Scott Tiner, Christopher’s father, said that the Cub Scout made the decision entirely on his own. Christopher reflected on his position:

“I didn’t like it that they were kicking people out,” he said. “I don’t think it’s fair.”

Christopher, formerly of pack 139, is reported to be the first scout in Maine to have quit over the controversy, and said that the decision was easy once he thought about it.

Scott, former Scout Leader also commented, saying:

“I don’t want to have a membership card to an organization that makes it very clear that this is how they feel.”

Why does this have to be national news? Because the major media has an agenda, that’s why.

This isn’t about equality. This is about taking over and destroying the Boy Scouts of America.

I’ll admit, I’m not overly anxious to see homosexuals set up an organization geared toward children, but that’s just me.

If there needs to be a kids group geared toward Boy-Scout like things and accepting of homosexuality (something I view to be a contradiction), then let the homosexuals set up their own organization and let parents send their kids there if they want to.

The kid isn’t even old enough to realize that sick grown-up pedophiles only want in so they can molest him.

Just look what happened at Penn State

Nah, Penn State will be used as an example of Heterosexuals doing something homosexuals get blamed for. I don’t agree with this premise, but you can take it to the bank, that this is precisely what will be claimed.

Male on male activity, is homosexuality, even if a man has a heterosexual family and functions as a straight guy too.

No doubt some kids feel self-righteous indignation over the policy, but as a former adult leader with some years under my belt let me say that it's difficult enough to supervise boys being boys to say nothing of supervising some of the other adults as well.

An overtly homosexual individual ~ whether as a scout or a leader ~ is entirely too disruptive to allow for a normal scouting experience for all the others.

It isn't that they don't fit in, they want to fit in ~ and that's the problem.

If they want to come up with a homosexual scouts organization, fine ~ they going to let the cops go with them on camping trips?

Fine.

He can join an organization where he can camp with all the gay adults he can stand without needing to see a proctologist.

Of course they do. Otherwise it would be a non-event.

That is why sexualization of children is evil. Even the hippie, Rousseau, knew the importance of keeping children innocent until puberty. They can focus on learning and other more important things like building character and perseverance——once they are sexualized-—their worldview sees everything through the sexual prism and sex is reduced to a mere animal act since they are too immature to deal with the emotional or moral aspects of sex. It corrupts their thinking.

Awe and mystery help to create a healthy interest in the opposite sex-—the schools are destroying it with their Sex Ed which came from Lukacs/Marcuse to collapse Western Civ and kill off God.

The latency period-—5-12 years—is the time where boys prefer to play with boys and girls will prefer to play with girls. Putting sodomy into the schools convinces children this age that they are homosexual because they do not understand natural sexual formation and they do actually (naturally) prefer the same sex. Kids have to learn about self first-—before they can begin to understand the other-—which takes much more maturity and selflessness and experience with simple play and normal interactions with kids. Once sex enters, they see others as sex objects. It destroys their innocence and corrupts all play.

That is why homosexualists like that evil Jerry Brown is indoctrinating CA kids with anal sex in Kindergarten now. 20 years ago, real fathers would have hung him from a tree for putting such sick, evil unnatural ideas into children’s heads. He is corrupting an entire generation of children. He is trying to create Afghanistan worldview and destroy Western Civ, esp. Christian Ethics-—the ethics that got rid of sodomy and pederasty in the first place, which was rampant in the entire world until Judeo-Christian Ethics took over the West.
