I have a son in Cub Scouts and don't agree with Gates. And if the Boy Scouts do allow religious groups to exclude gays from leadership positions, that won't satisfy the homosexuals either.

How did an unhealthy lifestyle attain such political dominance? I don't get it.

In 2013, Boy Scout leaders from across the country voted, with more than 60 percent approval, to say that no youth may be denied membership...

I took part in that 2013 survey.

We were also asked how we felt about gay leaders. The response was entirely negative.

Notice that the NYT did not mention that question, nor its response in the article. Biased reporting is bias.

And.

Grace.

This is why I am no longer a Scout Master and my son no longer a Scout. Saw this handwriting two years ago and left because I knew what was coming.

“Boy Scouts’ President Calls for End to Ban on Gay Leaders”

Makes no sense to me to open the door to molestation of young boys by mentally deranged sex perverts. Get rid of all within the Scouting organization that would put young boys in danger, or the only alternative to keep the child safe is to keep the child out of Scouting.

To promote gays in Scouting is immensely irresponsible.

The Scouts just banned water pistols. Maybe they’ll substitute “water sports” instead. (Look it up, if you have the stomach for it.)

The president of the Boy Scouts of America on Thursday called for an end to the group’s blanket ban on gay adult leaders

No normal person, especially one who has sons, who make such a statement.

Is Gates queer?

What people not in Scouting don't understand about Scouting is that there are two groups involved and the two have little relation to each other.

One group is the paid national leadership you read about here. They make their money from large corporate sponsorships which have been vulnerable to attacks from the gay lobby. I been involved in Scouting for 15 years and I can't tell you what it is that they do for this money.

The second group is the local volunteers, most often parents, that work directly with the boys. It is this group which decides what to do, who the leaders are, and what the group standards will be.

If the national organization goes ahead with this, the local leaders will just quit and the whole organization will be destroyed.

It’s why I tell scouts at my door I won’t buy their popcorn. Their organization is corrupt. They do not understand.

The majority of comments at the NY Slimes site are disgusting.

And yes, they ARE already calling for resistant Church-sponsored troops to be subdued by the new rules.

For many liberals, the only freedom they want and respect is sexual, so it is ALL they advocate for, to the exclusion of anything else. So you get far more political force behind anything (abortion, extra-marital sex, homosexual marriage, government paid STD testing) that says “free love without consequences”.

Putting young boys at risk with gay scout leaders is total insanity. Does Gates not understand the risk, or perhaps he is a closet flamer himself? I say show the boys what gay men do to each other (and little boys), THEN see how much they approve.

Fox in the hen house.

What kind of stupid parents would intentionally send their sons to overnight camp with homosexual adult men?

Jeremiah 32:35

And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
