Eric Holder: If Gay Adults Are Fit for Military Service, They Are Fit to Lead Boy Scouts
CNS News ^ | 06/13/2014 | Susan Jones

The Attorney General of the United States told a homosexual advocacy group on Tuesday night that the Boy Scouts of America "preserves and perpetuates the worst kind of stereotypes" by refusing to allow homosexuals to serve as Boy Scout troop leaders.

"Today, courageous lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals routinely put their lives on the line as members of America's armed services," Holder told Lambda Legal Tuesday night. "And if these men and women are fit for military service, then surely they are fit to mentor, to teach, and to serve as role models for the leaders of future generations."

In June 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5–4 ruling, said the Boy Scouts had a constitutional right, as a private organization, to exclude homosexuals from leadership positions.

Almost nine years later, President Obama came into office, pledging to repeal the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. In December 2010, he signed a bill passed by the Democrat-majority Congress repealing the ban on homosexual men and women serving openly in the armed services.

Holder received a warm reception Tuesday night at the Lambda Legal reception, where he promised that the fight for civil rights and "LGBT equality" remains a "top priority," not only for the Justice Department, but "for me personally."

They are not fit for either.

HOMOSEXUAL, because there's nothing GAY about it.

I know a Boy Scout leader from another area that told me one of their older scouts raped one of the younger scouts at camp.

They “handled it” meaning kept it out of the media, and even kept it from the scouting leadership. The boy essentially got away with it; no legal repercussions.

Homosexuals look at scouting as fertile ground for recruiting adolescent boys into their lifestyle. And many of them don’t want to wait for these boys they recruited to reach the age of consent (even the concept makes me want to puke just thinking of a young man “consenting” to sodomy).

If Gay Adults Are Fit for Military Service, They Are Fit to Lead Boy Scouts

Otherwise stated, if the logic holds:

If Hetrosexual men are fit for Military Service, they are Fit to Lead the Campfire Girls.

Exactly. As you probably know, there's a liberal campaign on now to eliminate the word "homosexual" from the lexicon, and instead use "gay". Because, these strategists surmise, the word "gay" doesn't invite imagery of what homosexuals do to each other.

Which is exactly why we must ALWAYS use the term 'homosexual' over 'gay'.

Both a non-sequitor and circular reasoning.

They must think we are stupid.

Its a private group. What next will Holder insist all Christian churches to have homosexual ministers?

It’s a lesser evil. You know...those evil purists are just supporting Obama and stuff. Thank God we sent moderates back to DC. Imagine the hell some problematic guy with principle might cause for Eric. Opposing things like this. That’s no way to get along. /s

I wasn’t very reluctant. Our entire troop changed to Trail Life USA. Earlier this week we spent several days recruiting others to the new organization.

I have had no experience with this organization, but I understand that Trail Life USA was established as a Christian remedy for the "lost" Boy Scouts.
Trail Life USA
