More evidence of the "fruit" of the gay agenda.

Myself, I would never knowingly have my sons "led" by a homosexual man. I am concerned about modeling, abuse, and a breakdown in moral standards.

The article alleges that there is no increase in possibility of molestation when camping overnight with a homosexual leader. I find that really hard to believe.

It also says other similar groups are gaining membership but I have hear for years the Girls Scouts have dwindled steadily since they dropped their "faith in God" requirement.

Overnight stays with homosexual supervisors to a bunch of youths.

Despite the numerous cases of molestation the gay lib lobby continues to push for this.

WHY? Apart from breaking down resistance. WHY?

"In the Bible, it's a sin to be gay,"

I might disagree slightly with that, it is a sin to engage in homosexual behavior.

>>> "A lot of people don't feel comfortable around homosexuals." <<<

Ask a couple of kids why anyone would feel this way you might get widely differing answers:

1. Liberal Kid: "Because their bigots"

2. Conservative Kid: Cause I don't want them trying to play with my wee-wee.

Conservative Scout wins....hands down!! No contest!

I was at one time in the BSA. Homosexuals have no place in the organization, period. One thing in mind, for a couple of years I went to Summer camp at Camp Ransburg near Bloomington, IN. One thing I remembered was there were separate shower facilities for the kids and adults. I understand it very clearly today but didn't at the time.

What I remembered at the time, there was the troop shower facility near the main area of the site. They were two separate big rooms and a bathroom facility in the middle. In fact the bathroom had one flushable toilet. The campsites had "holes in the ground". A lot of times when the need would arise, I would go to the troop showers to use the flushable toilet and about 50% of the time, it would be occupied. I have to say, the "one and only" flushable toilet was a "popular" place especially after meals.

When I went to Summer camp there it was the borderline 1970's/1980's. I went there about 8 years ago when I was visiting Bloomington. I decided to take a drive to the camp and walked around. Some things changed. The shower facility that I remembered was gone and they had a new one. I did not go into the new one especially being an adult versus a teenager at the time. I also went to the camp site that we stayed at - it looked a little bit different - looked more wooded than back in 1980 where it was more open. We were not too far from the lake what I remembered. One thing I remembered, it was fun. One thing I remembered was walking by the mess hall in 2000 - same place and I walked passed the kitchen, it had the same smell coming out and even though it was 20 years later at the time, it felt like I was there as a kid instead as an adult. Kind of funny how smells play tricks on your mind.

Back on tangent, there has to be rules where the kids are protected. Now, I usher at church and one of our jobs is taking kids in the 3 to 5 year old range to the bathroom. There are always two adults. In fact when I do the bathroom runs, I will not enter the bathroom for any reason, period. Usually the both of us will stand far from the door but at the same time, keep our ears tuned in to know what is going on inside. That is also why I would not walk into the facility at Ransburg even to see what changed compared to my day. I was curious what changed such as did they go to private shower stalls or stay with the "big room" concept. One additional note, the dorm I lived in when I was doing my undergrad was built in 1965 and it had a big shower room. I visited there last year and after they remodeled the place. They redid it where it became individual shower stalls.

Another note, I was in California from Thus until today. I was in Davis for several days and at this time of the year, it gets pretty toasty. I would do some bike riding from the morning until around 2 pm and then I would go to the UC Davis Rec Pool. When I was there yesterday, I done swimming and went to take a shower. The people using the pool were not only university students but also members of the local community. When I took a shower, I kept the suit on since the shower would get the chlorine water out. A father and his two boys came in and took their showers as well. They stripped down so to show my respect, I looked away. The shower was a big room as well.

I was just reading this on Newsweek but I didn’t want to post it on here. What a bunch of hateful, biased left-wing bull crap.

I agree with you.

When do we say enough is enough? Once they start down this slippery slope with compromise on traditional values they will never be regained.
