Putting queer kids with straight kids on camping trips.
What could go wrong?

LDS has a proud history of bending in front of the wind.That is why the about face on polygyny in the first place. They seem to be stalwart conservatives but they only maintain until the pressure becomes direct. Washington leaves them alone for the most part because Washington knows that LDS will bend or fold at the appropriate time.
It is good policy to simply keep gays away from adolescents to the greatest extent possible. Any sanctioning or acceptance of this behavior is harmful to everyone.
Its common sense, would you let your teen daughter go spend the night with teen boys out in the woods miles from home?
This is crazy.
gay dogs, gay scouts......whats the difference...
Both Stemberger and Perkins make strong logical and legal arguments against this change. This will be the unfortunate end of a great organization and it will come with a whimper about “changing times.” The strength of the organization is in its sustaining membership of youth, adults, and chartering organizations. They are clearly saying, apparently with the exception of the LDS, the current policy is the right policy for them. Listening to 2% of the population and the corporate swine that believe they can exercise the power of the purse will be the undoing of the BSA.
This whole movement of trying to be “kind” to young people caught up in homosexual behavior is kind of like the parents who let their kids eat as much candy as they want, because they want it very badly and cry and throw tantrums. We say “no”, because it’s not good for them. When they have chicken pox we don’t let them scratch because it will make things worse and scar them for life.
Why, oh why, then do people who claim to care about these poor confused kids stand back and wish them well? Not only should the Mormon Church NOT be “accepting” of this “lifestyle” they should be encouraging those kids to overcome their destructive behavioral disorders. Whether it is homosexuals, alcoholics, or pyromaniacs simply allowing them to enroll in the Boy Scouts with no attempt to resolve their behavioral problems is a recipe for turmoil and conflict within the Boy Scouts.
Is it possible LDS is a pro gay, pro poligamy tool in disguise? Would make sense.
The LDS church is headed toward a total open door policy for the gay agenda. The dark suits in Salt Lake have already decided, and now they’re slowly moving there.
Sounds like Joseph Smith and his many flings.
The Mormons have always had the problem of a politically divided congregation, tending to extremes in either direction: either staunchly conservative, or extraordinary leftism.
For example, the Utah state government as a whole is very conservative, but the government of Salt Lake City is Nancy Pelosi grade Moonbat.
But apparently the Moonbat wing is slowly trickling up into the high leadership, which, if you think about it, is like saying to yourself: “Gee, I’m bored with good health. I think I’ll try brain cancer to see what it’s like!”
The Mormon Church has a long history of bending long-standing sacred scripture and basic fundamental doctrine to comply with public opinion and/or economic expediency. A few of the more noted examples include:
In this context, I believe "effect" is the correct word, meaning "to cause or to bring about"
It appears that once again the leaders are doing one thing and the uninformed membership is confused.
It really is simple - acceptance of homosexuality = acceptance of polygamy
Then mormons will not have to hide their practice of polygamy in the temple ceremony called “celestial marriage”, they will be able to practice it openly.
I mourn yet another religious group becoming targets of the enemy and watching their church and doctrine fall to corruption.
Let the Boy Scouts whither
Never forget this group was founded on the belief that polygamy was required for salvation, The Principle, which itself would lead to the destruction of Christian Marriage. Mitt’s father was born on an polygamous compound in Mexico.
Meanwhile the FL GOP is happily attacking Marriage in FL by saying its somehow morally objectionable for a husband to support his wife with Alimony because it gets in the way of the 2nd/3rd/Nth wife’s lifestyle.
And the Dems just want Bill and Ted to marry each other.
Saints Preserve Us !
Please remember that the LDS Church helped pass Prop 8 in CA and they took a lot of abuse for it, too. Why is the LDS Church now being singled out for a policy that is practiced by virtually all the other Christian denominations? Name one other religious denomination that refuses to admit gay scouts. Also, please remember that the Scouts continues to bar adult Scout leaders. I think they were stuck between a rock and a hard place. No matter what they did, there would be an avalanche of criticism.
Scout leaders have a huge responsibility to be fair and to keep all their scouts safe and sound. These leaders are great men, sacrificing time, blood, sweat and tears - and they are volunteers.
