Answer: Because their goal is to force acceptance of their lifestyle in every avenue of our lives.
While I don't have too much of a problem with a scout discovering that he is gay and remaining in scouts, I have a major problem with gay scout leaders who could use their position to influence confused adolescents.
Further, I would never allow an adolescent daughter to sleep in the same tent with any adult male for obvious reasons. I see no difference in allowing an adult gay man to sleep in the same tent with the same gender he is sexually attracted to.
This is a key point of the gay agenda, whether individual gays understand this or not.
Confused young men might be able to be convinced they are gay, or convinced they are straight and that one day the other boys will stop teasing them for not being macho. It's all a matter of who provides the influence.
Gays want to provide that influence for the same biological reason that straights want to have sex - to reproduce.
Shalom.
These people are sick, sick, sick. Homosexuality is a choice and a private one at that. They are not, and should not be, a special interest group, or any kind of "protected class" of people. Society has rules, if you choose to flout the rules...well then, you have made your choice, haven't you?
And yes I know plenty of gays and even have some in my family, fortunately, they don't feel the compulsion to crusade this "cause" in every aspect of their lives.
That just about sums it up.
I would think quality of members would be more important that quanity.
