Tillerson was instrumental in lobbying the Scouts’ board to accept openly gay youths, said John Hammer, president of the Washington think tank Center for Strategic and International Studies, of which Tillerson is a board member.
"I can’t get into the intimacy of these conversations. But he agonized over this. He prayed on it, and ultimately he came to the conclusion the only thing that can guide him here is what’s best for the young boys,” he said. "I think he became a key leader in helping the group come to a consensus."
Imagine what’s going to happen to America now that the government is one big lobby group for Exxon.
Good things.
I wonder which senator will have the courage to bring this up during confirmation......
Answer: none
I wouldn't be surprised if it ceased to exist in my lifetime, and it really has nothing to do with Tillerson's role there.
Who are we to question his prayers?
RE: I wonder which senator will have the courage to bring this up during confirmation......
Even if someone did, the response would be ... hey this is a foreign policy position, nothing to do with domestic issues .... ( well, as long s he does not insist on exporting this to the Boy Scouts in other countries ).
Perhaps there are more important things to discuss.
The quickest way to undermine the Trump administration would be to try to start a witch hunt against homosexuals and their supporters. Let’s not do that.
[ Imagine whats going to happen to America now that the government is one big lobby group for Exxon. ]
This Guy that trump has nominated was able to pry away exxon from the rockefeller family....
I remain hopeful
RE: The quickest way to undermine the Trump administration would be to try to start a witch hunt against homosexuals and their supporters. Lets not do that.
Let’s put it this way, there is no witch hunt against homosexuals in this country.
Now let’s turn the question around, are there witch hunts against Christians, especially those business people who simply want to ran their business consistent with their faith?
I would say “yes”.
If this is true, he is a BIG MISTAKE and Trump had better talk him into withdrawing.
This would only be a problem if his administration was chock full of homos.
“I wonder which senator will have the courage to bring this up during confirmation......”
Courage and the US Senate? The US Senate hasn’t seen courage on the GOP side since Jessie Helms died.
Wow one former Exxon exec at the State Department turns the whole US Govt into a Exxon lobby firm?
Just how stupid is the Purity Uber Alles Choir of butt hurt Never Trumpers?
Kind of like the good things that happened to the Boy Scouts?
This article seems like a load of crap. No evidence at all. Just some guy speculating.
It’s only the dem senators that have courage to bring it up when the candidate does not support the gay agenda
Bingo.
My eyes roll upward. If this is about young boys, good deeds, leadership, then let all boys as they are be able to be a part. All boys however they are made.
If this is about scout leaders, let’s have them all keep any sex acts they do PRIVATE. Not interested in what they do sexually as long as they are good and moral people who will not lead the boys astray.
Most men who molest children from positions of authority are “married” to a woman, even those who molest young boys. We must not let alone any men with positions of authority over children and youth WITH said children. No unsupervised time alone with any child, no car rides, nothing. That goes for teachers, coaches, clergy, anyone.
