“Why? The BSA is, as of this month, a pro-homosexual organization.”
Because in general it is a wonderful program for boys, and there may be a few homo’s that join the scout troops, but believe me, they will keep it to themselves if they are smart. Now scout leaders, that’s another thing. They will prey on the boys, not instruct them, and should never be allowed to be leaders. I have hope that one day, at least in the red states, the BS’s will reverse themselves and ban at least any overtly gay kids from participation in the scouts. That’s why I say get out of blue states, and only have BS troops in Red states.
Otherwise, some entrepreneurs should start up a new organization for boys and refuse to cater to homosexuals, regardless of any attempt to strong arm them to do so. If all organizations both religious or religiously based continue to fold, our whole country has a problem on its hands, and it’s time for a new civil war, and I’m not joking. Our country and its original way of life must be saved.
Someone else here once suggested starting a Young Boy and Gay Man Camping Club and see how many people want to send their kids.
They have "crossed the Rubicon."
Look, let me be clear. I do not propose that there will be an immediate infusion of 11 or 12 year old sodomites raping and pillaging other boys because of that decision.
I do propose that parents with agendas will raise hell about how "homophobic" the BSA is and that they are not sensitive and supportive of young Lance or young Lloyd.
Now that the camel has gotten his nose under the tent, BSA will, probably sooner than later, be required to modify their "Boy Scout Handbook" and troop training materials to accommodate this type of thing.
Let us assume that some poor, young boy who has been abused by his parents into thinking that he is a homosexual (how a 10 or 11 year old can be homosexual is beyond me, but I digress). His parents encourage him to "come out" to his troop. Then "boys will be boys" -- and he will get blasted. Do you not think that there will be a lawsuit? Calls for the BSA to be more "sensitive"? Changes to the curriculum? etc?
I don't care if the troop is in a Blue State or a Red State...it will happen (and, frankly, I can imagine it being engineered to happen specifically in a red state...as it would help the media narrative)
“Because in general it is a wonderful program for boys, and there may be a few homo’s that join the scout troops, but believe me, they will keep it to themselves if they are smart”
I agree that the Boy Scouts is a great organization for boys and really hate to see its destruction. I wonder why a new organization can’t be formed that mirrors the scouts, but removes the homosexual aspect— a conservative scouts of America, if you will? Why does anything that is done have to be limited to just the BSA?
You are about as naive as they come. Put down the koolaid and wake up.
“and there may be a few homo’s that join the scout troops, but believe me, they will keep it to themselves if they are smart”
Why? Homosexuality will not only be promoted, it will be celebrated, taught, recognized, and all troops will be required to approve of them. No boy will be allowed to demand a homosexual not sleep in his tent, or be alone with him for any reason, or complain about the behavior of the homosexual. History has taught us this.
