The national president of the Boy Scouts, Robert Gates, says the organization's longstanding ban on participation by openly gay adults is no longer sustainable and is urging change in order to avert potentially destructive legal battles.

Interesting. This appears not to be in support of those adult males who choose the homsoexual lifestyle rather it's pre-emptive because they anticipate lawsuits. I find this to be quite despicable that a once noble and moral organization feels the need to take these measures.

Oh well, the BSA has watched enrollment drop since first embracing homosexual sex. Now they will see it all but implode because what parent will want to send away their little boys to an overnight camping trip where the chaperone is a homosexual male?

IMO, the homsoexuals should have started the "gay scouts" and tried to make that succeed rather than crater a once proud organization.

BSA- RIP 2015

 

Any opportunity homosexuals have to destroy an institution based on conservative or traditional values they'll take it and run. That's their modus operandi.

 

This is true as much as they try to deny it. I know a couple of gay people both men and women and they are very nice people and even think the radicals in the movement are destroying them. These poeple I know don't shove anything at you, they talk to you like normal people and they accept differing opinions.

 

This was 100% PREDICTABLE TWO YEARS AGO.

I wonder what the UT scout troops will do.

 

the boyscout's do not embrace heterosexual or homosexual "sex", get real....

 

This is true across the prog spectrum, not just gays.

 

So he thinks it's okay to expose boys to pedophiles?

 

according to him it's too expensive not too.

 

Dont really see the big deal. Gay people arent evil ya know.

 

When we force organizations to cater to everybody, they will eventually cater to nobody.

 

not all men who live the gay lifestyle are pedophiles however, the strike rate is much higher than men who live the heterosexual lifestyle.

Parents always vote with their wallets. The BSA will see the effects of this decision.

I'm not a smoker. When I travel to countries where smoking is allowed within restaurants I do not expect everyone to put out their butt.

Homosexuals should have simply started the "gay scouts" but the cynic in me believes that the gay movement wants one to conform to their lifestyle or to disappear.

 

No one forced anything.

 

If the BSA is going gay, watch what they will do next, they are going to ban guns in the BSA. Watch you will see, it's going to happen.

 

Did you just claim gays are pedophiles?

 

No, it's not. Only in your imagination.

 

I would say that lawsuits or the threat of lawsuits is 'forcing'.

 

No one was forced to do anything.

 

You would be wrong.

 

Your opinion. I know if I was threatened with a lawsuit that could cost me everything and I had to change how I did things, I would feel forced.

It is right there is their statement:

The national president of the Boy Scouts, Robert Gates, says the organization's longstanding ban on participation by openly gay adults is no longer sustainable and is urging change in order to avert potentially destructive legal battles.

 

It's funny that the scouts are in denial that their policy on gays is decreasing their membership when they discuss the 6 and then 7% decrease in membership over the past two years respectively (as well as a 12% drop in cub scouts). And they say it's just because of decreasing interest in children's programs that "all" child programs are seeing.

That's funny because trail life the religious conservative alternative to the Boy Scouts is going gangbusters with their increase in membership.

 

yup, as is the local youth soccer league which far eclipses baseball and football

Parents will find activities for their children and if the BSA wishes to become an indoctrination camp for the homsoexual lifestyle, then parents will take their children elsewhere.

When you also consider the proclivity toward pedophilia among homosexual males, it stands to reason that parents will not want their little boys to be in the BSA.

 

So? Anyone can file a lawsuit about anything. Is there one pending? Is someone threatening?

 

Lawsuits, whether they have merit or not cost both sides money.....even for the winner.

There have been lawsuits in the past:

Boy Scouts of America v. Dale, 530 U.S.640(2000)

Curran v. Mount Diablo Council of Boy Scouts of America, 952 P.2d 218 (Cal. 199

Boy Scouts of America v. District of Columbia Commission on Human Rights, 809 A.2d 1192 (D.C. 2002)

Chicago Area Council of Boy Scouts of America v. City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, 748 N.E. 2d 759 (Ill. App. Ct. 2001)

I would also think that there are others pending or have been threatened or else the BSA would not be thinking of changing their enrollment policy to "avert potentially destructive legal battles".

Are you saying that there could not possibly be one pending or one threatened?

 

pedophiles,men that prey on boys are indeed queers, don't try to tell me they aren't , it is plain to see .... any normal person can see that

 

Except pedophilia is not gender specific. Pedophiles are attracted to children.
