How did an unhealthy lifestyle attain such political dominance? I don't get it.
If the Boy Scouts of America do away with the ban on scout leaders, it will mean the end of the Boy Scouts of America. No normal men will allow their children to enroll in an organization that allows homosexuals to take their children on overnight camping trips or to be counseled by a man with unnatural leanings. Why can’t the homosexuals be satisfied to accept things as they are and leave the Boy Scouts alone? They want to get their hands on our children.
Mr. Gates doesn’t care about our children. He is making political points for himself. When making your decision, remember the priests and what they have done to our children. Do you want to look back on this in 30 or 40 years and say ‘why didn’t we do something?’?.
If the Mormons, Methodists, and Catholic charters take their tents and go home, it’s good night Gracie!

Because it bothers people like us. That’s how.
America is based on traditional Christian values.
The Soviets know that.
The rise of the gay mafia is exactly what the Soviets engineered.
The Soviets are behind the destruction (moral, cultural, financial) of America.
They never lost the cold war. They just went silent, and gave us a win. So they wouldn’t be bothered.
opening the door to pedophiles. the Boy Scouts already had issues with boy scouts being molested by pervs.
No water guns but horray for pederasts the Boy Scouts, makes no sense.
How soon before a straight man can be a girl scout leader and sleep in the same tents with them?
They prosecute women teachers for having sex with their students. That must stop! /s
bump for later

IMO— it is because there is a vast underground of pedophiles throughout our governmental bureaucracies. Dirty old men who like little boys mostly. The word for them is queers.
Just barely exposed, the level of protection built in for them— for example the Penn State Sandusky debacle. This was a large network of co-enablers and fellow queers. There is no doubt about it.
This was exposed in the UK years ago and persists here.
The Boy Scouts of America has had to deal with old queers wanting to “get close” to developing boys— for years. And now this moron, Gates (an Eagle Scout btw) says the solution is to “let it happen” to save on money— Bull crap!
Maybe he is one too— come on out Gates “old boy”.
Well, Robbie Gates is a scout. How wonderful!
Hope everyone gets their kids out of the Cub/Boy Scouts if they go through with this.
First hint: They all went to Harvard and Yale together.
Second hint: Gates is part of that swishy-squishy rotten core of the GOP that has held the party thrall (or should I say, "bent over"?) since Bush 41 blackmailed his way onto the Reagan ticket in 1980. Maybe longer.
But Gates is tough! While he was president of Texas A&M University (a project of Bush Senior's, to turn A&M into Yale West and show his soigne' East Coast Bonesman-buddies how much civilizing pull he had over those redneck knuckle-draggers, that he could teach them to sip wine with their pinkies stuck out and trill little jokes en Francaise.
Gates showed one redneck kid how it was! Kid had a little confederate-flag sticker an inch square on his footlocker in the Corps of Cadets dormitory: Gates sent the word down, that that Odious Symbol was coming off his footlocker within the hour, or the kid was out of the Corps in a flash! I was so knocked out, when I read that -- Gates is tough! On a pimply kid from Jasper or Texarkana. Yeah, sure 'nuff.
Hey, Gates, how tough are you on diesel dykes raping women in U.S. Army barracks? On gay sergeants coming on to private soldiers' privates? Oh, really? No? Didn't think so.
Hypocritical elitist bastard.
Translation: corporate sponsors are getting heat for contributing to a "homophobic" organization. Not bowing before the LGBT activists will mean the end of HQ staff being able to get big paychecks.
Better to abandon big corporate sponsors and have the HQ be staffed by retired volunteers, than do this. If they do this, it will be the END of scouting. Period.
THE ENEMY WITHIN
This man is disgusting and should be tossed out immediately.
I grew up in an environment where almost all my friends were Cub Scouts and then Boy Scouts.
I shudder to think how vulnerable we all were on those long hikes and camping trips.
But we never had a single questionable incident.
Our leaders were some of the finest people I have ever known.
They provided guidance, education and protection.
They did not prey on us.
The Scouts are an organization dedicated to serving the young scouts.
Their safety and well being are paramount.
Not the frail egos of homosexuals who want to pretend they are normal - but just in a different way.
I am not that old. But I can remember a day when this country wasn’t run by perverts and Communists. It was a MUCH better place. It’s all down hill culturally from here, short of national repentance before God.
From the article:“we must deal with the world as it is, not as we might wish it to be,”
Whatever happened to CHANGING the world for the better?
since Gates willingly served the obamanation in the white hut, I ‘ve never trusted him...
““we must deal with the world as it is, not as we might wish it to be,”
And we shall. Just as Jesus instructs.
Didn’t Gates do it to the military? If so then he was probably brought into the Scouts to do it to the Scouts
I think the Gay Scouts will be a smaller organization than the Boy Scouts were. If Gates doesn’t lose his job in a month then the decision has already been made and after some “serious” huddles, will be implemented. We knew this was coming when they first started discussing admitting overt fairies as scouts. Giving homosexual men access to groups of boys is a major step toward homosexualizing the natiion. Homosexuals are becoming a political Elite. I don’t think the process will be stopped, no matter who is elected to what in 2016. These things go only one direction and will end only when the society ends, which it will.
