It wouldn't have been that hard an argument to make - since the scouts are supposed to be about something entirely apart from sexual preference.
Are you serious? What if it were to be discovered that a boy scout had (gasp) a girlfriend? He should be kicked out?
Amen skeeter!
“Wouldn’t it have been better if the Boy Scouts had made it their policy to refuse to admit any scout who openly proclaimed any sexual preference, be it hetero or homo?”
In my mind that is the bottom line, the only comparison to be made, the only logic that applies. The BSA isn’t about sex, but proclamation of sexuality and coming out as an avowed homosexual, is about sex, and nothing more.
If hetero’s were at all like homosexuals, they would be crying from the house tops their sexual proclivities, instead of adhereing to a standard that says, your sexual side is kept under wraps conforming to a moral code and behavior based on character traits instead of sexual leanings.
I have suggested for years that the homosexuals should learn that anything other than keeping “IT” in the closet is too much information. No one cares, just shut up about it, but nooooo, they cannot do it.
