Do you think that the boy scouts should allow homosexuals as scout masters?

[cradle of freedom]

Where do you libertarians stand on gays as boy scout masters?

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

[Revolting cat!]

We think that starting threads on passing trivial thoughts is a waste of bandwidth.

I am not Libertarian, but I think this is just stupid. Why would the Boy Scouts even put kids in this position. Sure not every gay person is going to molest kids, but even if one does it is not feasible to have this. As a Catholic, I totally am against this and gay marriage for that matter. My Facebook account makes me sick today. All the stupid red equal signs are giving me a headache. What on Earth is happening to our country?????

[Westbrook]

I consider myself a “natural law” libertarian.

Having “gay” men take teen boys camping in the woods is the same thing as sending horny guys to take pubescent girl scouts camping in the woods.

As a previous poster said, “What could go wrong”?

Only a Leftist could believe this is a good thing.

I’m not necessarily a libertarian but as someone who
was molested by a scout master I would have to say
NO!

[DManA]

The libertarian point of view is that private organizations should be free to do any thing they want. Beside the parents of the Scouts it’s nobody’s business how they pick their leaders.

[Gene Eric]

The same place I stand regarding adult males and the Girl Scouts. No.

[kitkat]

Let the gays form their own Boy Scout troops, and leave our sons alone.

[rawcatslyentist]

Not No, but H*** No!

[dennisw]

The pansies are exceedingly annoying and should be put back in the closet

[Viennacon]

That’s why I avoid ‘gaybook’.

[darkangel82]

I have avoided social media for that reason. I’m just sick of it already.

[Viennacon]

I’m not a libertarian, but I don’t think horny old men and young boys mix well.

[AU72]

Should the Girls Scouts allow hetro males as Den Mothers?

[aft_lizard]

As a libertarian. No. Its a private organization based on certain principles.

[C. Edmund Wright]

The libertarian point of view is that private organizations should be free to do any thing they want. Beside the parents of the Scouts it’s nobody’s business how they pick their leaders.

That is indeed the correct Libertarian position - based on libertarian philosophy. I wonder if it is where most libertarians come down on it however.

[cradle of freedom]

Sorry, this NOT trivial.

[GeronL]

I am sure that Libertardians see nothing wrong with pedophiles taking kids to the woods overnight.

Why don’t they start their own scouting organization?

Because they want to recruit YOUR kids.

Where do you libertarians stand on gays as boy scout masters?

Not to worry. Libertarians want, above anything, no government intervention in individuals lives.

Boy Scouts must never be forced into any social control through coercion or influence of any kind. Government initiation of force against peaceful citizens is an anathema to libertarians.

That is the small "l" opinion since I have not traveled in those circles in a number of years, but LP.org has the current platform with all applicable planks.
