(BBBSA) will require that all 500 of its local affiliates include active homosexuals as volunteers and mentors to children.

I doubt that this directive means exactly what is implied here - that every chapter must have actively gay volunteers. It probably means that the chapters must not exclude openly gay volunteers if they show up. I'm not a gay-basher per se, but I don't think this is a wise decision. Seems to me it would open the door to a potentially exploitative situation.

Of course it does. I don't think many parents would send their teenage daughters out for the day with young heterosexual men.

Quite right, but it also insures that they will show up. Any man on the make goes where he can get what he wants, be it women his own age or little boys.

As I read it, that is exactly the case.

The key words that I see here are require and include. They are not recommending that the chapters accept active homosexuals; they are requiring that they include them.

As others have said, though, I'll withhold final judgement on this until I see independent confirmation. If true, this report sure sounds bad.
