That’s not what that means at all. Anyone who can get beyond a simplistic reading can realize Mitt said:

1) I won’t intervene to make the Boy Scouts change their policy (like an Obama-style leader), but since you’re asking

2) I don’t agree with their policy.

There are enough reasons not to agree with Mitt but let’s quit making them up.

That's not what he said. He said:

all people should be allowed to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation.”

His meaning is clear. He disagrees with the Boy Scout's policy that prevents gays.

So why didn’t he say that. Having never been governor (or held any other political office) I was able to understand the convoluted manner of communication. Thanks for translating...sorry I seemed simple to you!

Mitt loses on the second count ~ he disagrees with Boy Scout policy. That policy is to keep homosexuals away from young boys.

He then thinks it's OK to put homosexuals into contact with young boys.

Frankly, I think his personal belief on the matter DISQUALFIES HIM TOTALLY for consideration as President.

I have a very uneasy feeling about Romney. This will all come out during the election so better be ready to face the ugly truth.
However, something else has come to light that’s even more revealing regarding Romney’s weak abstinence record, and that’s his support for the AIDS Action Committee (AAC). Despite its charitable sounding name, the AAC is an extremely radical homosexual group that aggressively opposes abstinence education and promotes a total hedonistic homosexual lifestyle including “transgenderism,” sadomasochistic behavior and group sex. It opposes any moral limits on sexual behavior, no matter how risky or unhealthy. And it’s no secret – they’re very boastful about their views.
One might say, ok, well, so what, what’s does some wacked out gay group in Boston have to do with Mitt Romney? Well, according to financial records released while governor, Romney personally gave $10,000 to this group in 2004.
In contrast, Romney gave $2,500 in 2003 to the Best Friends Foundation, an organization operated by Bill Bennett’s wife that promotes abstinence among teenage girls. So a radical hedonistic anti-abstinence gay group gets $10,000 from Romney but an abstinence group run by conservatives receives a quarter of that amount. Hmm…
One of the AAC’s more infamous publications is The Little Black Book, Queer in the 21st Century, which was published, as the booklet itself states, with assistance from Romney’s Department of Public Health. The booklet promotes the most perverse behavior, including “water sports,” “rimming” and “fisting.” It also lists local gay bars. Incredibly, this filth was distributed to public schools. In 2005, when some parents discovered the booklet was passed out at Brookline High, all hell broke loose. Apparently, some parents thought teaching their kids how to urinate on one another wasn’t a good idea. The controversy was covered by the Boston Globe and Romney was questioned by a reporter about it. He had little choice but to denounce The Little Black Book as “graphic pornographic material” that didn’t belong in the public schools.
However, a year earlier, Romney’s own Department of Public Health assisted AAC with the publication of the booklet. Moreover, the AAC has always used graphic material in its publications, even during the time period it received $10,000 from Romney. It’s what AAC is known for. It is hard to believe Romney didn’t know this. Romney apologists will argue that AAC also worked to prevent AIDS, but it hard to see how a group that promotes such risky behaviors can do any good preventing AIDS. AAC’s support of the lets-have-sex-with-as-many-partners-as-possible lifestyle and its advocacy of group sex, bathhouses, and opposition to abstinence programs make them the poster group for everything that created the AIDS epidemic.
