Unfortunately, this is a very shallow analysis from someone professing to be a canon lawyer.

He fails to consider the consequences of allowing opnely homosexual boys in the scouts, namely:

a) courts ruling that the BSA cannot force members out when they turn 18, barring them from being leaders,
b) increased chance of homosexual members preying or recruiting younger boys,
c) scouts having to be taught that the homosexual lifestlye is acceptable and to be tolerated so that they don’t practice discrimination (and be open to lawsuits), etc.

Worthless.

scouts having to be taught that the homosexual lifestlye is acceptable and to be tolerated so that they don’t practice discrimination (and be open to lawsuits), etc.

And this is where it's at. You force the leadership to preach the homosexuality is okay. Eventually you create a culture where anyone who would dare state otherwise is going against "scout teaching" and should be banned. This is how organizations are turned upside down.

This was never about the kids. If it were, a separate organizaton would have arisen a long time ago. No, this is about rotting the core of a once proud organization and demanding acceptance of a lifestyle which pure logic states is a biological deadend.
