Why would anyone want to join a group that doesn't want you ? What a bunch of morons

The 1.4 million should start their own club. The new club could tolerate the BSOA and the BSOA could tolerate them. Would that be so hard?? If you don't like the rules, vote with your feet. This country is a lot bigger than most realize. We actually have room for more than one club, we might even have room for three!

The Father doesn't hate his gay children, but he does find their behavior repulsive. Sin isn't being bad. Sin is a bad being.

Typical republiclowns, wanting the rest of us to follow the rules made up in a fairy tale.

If someone wanted to make a policy integrating the Boy Scouts with the Girl Scouts and allowing Boy Scouts to share rooms and other facilities on campouts with girl scouts and brownies, no one would question that that would be a bad idea. So why should gay scouts be afforded the same privilege? Given the BSA's history with child molestors, you would think they would be the last ones to want to do this.

The argument is always that most gays aren't pedophiles. This is true, but neither are most straight males, and yet you wouldn't let straight males into girls' tents and locker rooms, whether they are pedophiles or not.

If gays want their sexual attractions to be respected in the same way as straight attractions, then why aren't they willing to have their attractions treated the same when it comes to being around those who they might be attracted too?

My advice to the Boy Scouts is to continue the ban. Abnormal feminine men are not a goog example for boys to grow up with. Of course Obama stuck his nose in where it don't belong, I say ignore him. Keep the ban. This would just be another step forward in the liberal agenda to feminize as many men in the United States as they can. Feminine men are generally liberals.

I am not a homophobe. I do not hate gays and I do think they should have some
rights. Be gay, be a couple, call it marriage if you like. I don't care. But
I will not have anything to do with your wedding. I am also against things like
gay adoption.

To those who consider themselves to be both gay and Christian, and also to
those who support gay rights in the church, I have this to say. You know very
well that God uses the word "detestible" to describe homosexuality. I also have
this to say, "I am not your enemy." Your enemy is the friend who tells you ,"Be
proud that you are gay." He wants you to be proud of something shameful and
sinful. He will take you down the wide road with him. You will laugh all along
the way. When you get to the edge of the cliff at the end of the road, like
lemmings you will all jump into the black abyss.

Homosexual Christian, repentance is admitting you are wrong, giving a sincere
apology and making an effort to change yourself. If you do not admit that being
gay is wrong then how can you repent of it. If you tell people to be proud that
you are gay, how can they repent of it. If you do this you are calling God a
liar just like the devil did and does.

I have this to say about homosexual weddings in the church. A Christian
marriage is holy and it is between a man and a woman. A Gay wedding is unholy
and an abomination if done in the church. Churches that support gay marriage in
the church are an abomination and people should flee from them. Gay priests are
an abomination. I would imagine gay priests that get married in a gay wedding
would make God want to vomit and this is going on.

Gay men and gay supporters in the church, repent. Are you a lemming or do you
admit it when you are wrong? Jesus wants sincerity and that takes admitting when
you are wrong. In the book of Romans, God gives the homosexuals a disease. God
does not like homosexuality. The Bible also says clearly in the New Testament
that homosexuals will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Those who tell you to be
proud that you are gay are your enemy. If you do not admit that what you are
doing and the activity that you support is wrong, there is no repentance. Didn't
Jesus say "repent." Which is love? That which supports things that are evil or
that which supports righteous actions. You decide.

Let's take away the rights of Tea Party members to marry.

It frightens me that a boy's sexual orientation would matter? What are they doing at those scout meetings that SEX would EVER be a factor? Is there a badge for losing your virginity? Is there a badge for successful masturbation?What about a badge for sexual conquests? Deflower 10 virgins and you get your Eagle Scout badge? What is it that a boy's sexual orientation would EVER be an issue?

As a former girl scout I can't remember one thing that my sexual orientation would have made any difference.

A boy scout salute has taken on a whole new meaning. Maybe that is why a large percentage of men in jail for rape were boy scouts at one time in their life.

How about good parental education, learning that if you are different than others then you should understand that you are and accept it and accept what life offers you. I don't have to take your @#$%.

If you are gay or lesbian, just create your own Scout Club. Boys who want to be girls and girls who want to be boys can have it and be perfectly happy and we would too!

What do you say?

Typical bible thumpers.

Instructing society at large how to live according to thier fictional character.

On a side note-

I was never a Cub Scout,

but I did eat a Brownie once.

Let's see now, if you read what's happening on the net today you'll find the Democrats pulling out all stops to bully the BSA into accepting homos, they also want to pick apart the Constitution because it's just an old relic, they came out in vociferous support of Iran ....................... Quite the day for Democrats!

As long as you can keep the child rapists and perverts out the kids should all be welcome.

But you have to consider if you let them in you may be attracting the same type sicko's as the catholic clergy, and we all know what a pedophiles mecca that turned out to be.

I wrote the following letter to the Chief Scout Executive. I am sharing it with all of you so that you understand the many reasons why people like me oppose changing the BSA's policy on this important issue. Thank you for allowing me to post this.

January 31, 2013

Mr. Wayne Brock

Chief Scout Executive

1325 West Walnut Hill Lane

Irving, TX 75038

Dear Mr. Brock,

I am writing to you as an Assistant Scoutmaster, a former Scoutmaster, the father
of an aspiring Eagle Scout, and a former Scout myself. I am not an Eagle Scout myself, but greatly
value what I learned in Scouting as a boy. Since September 2007, I have poured thousands of hours and my own funds into Scouting for the benefit of my son and his fellow Scouts. I have helped a number of boys make Eagle, and have taught numerous merit badges to dozens of Scouts within and outside
the troop to which I belong. At potential risk to my success at work, I have taken many days off to accompany
our Scouts on long treks at Philmont and Lenhok'sin, and to campouts in places
ranging from West Virginia and the Shenandoah National Park, to the shores of
the Sea of Galilee and the Negev Desert in Israel. I have dedicated myself to ensuring that
Scouts enjoy the Scouting experience that Lord Baden-Powell, Ernest Thompson
Seton and Daniel Carter Beard designed for our youth with the aim to build
character and promote citizenship and personal fitness. I view the sincere striving to fulfill the
Scout Oath and Law as critical to fulfillment of Scouting's highest aims, and
believe the BSA should lead our society – not reflect every facet of it (good
and bad) – even if it is to be criticized for its beliefs.

It is for this reason that I am writing to you to express my sincere displeasure
with the news that the BSA is considering changing its long-standing policy
against allowing gay Scouts and leaders – uniformed and not – into Scouting. That policy is based on Scouting's correct assessment, in my and others' views, that the homosexual lifestyle is not
clean. I will elaborate on my views below, but want to be clear up front: If the BSA bows to any pressure – whether it is coming from the White House, corporate sponsors, or gay rights activists
– on this issue, I will withdraw from Scouting, and allow my son to withdraw as
well. Scouting will be dead, as far as I am concerned. It is already
treading a dangerous path by turning the other eye against atheists and agnostics
who have been and continue to "slip in under the radar" and occupy
both leadership positions and become Eagle Scouts. This will be the final straw for me. Scouting will lose my financial support and time commitment, and I will seek to support clean and reverent boys who want to
do Scouting-like activities through other means.

These are my reasons for appealing to you to maintain Scouting's policy that Scouts
and their uniformed and non-uniformed leaders adhere to the Oath and Law, which
include the demands that Scouts strive to be clean and reverent:

1. Most Scouts I know, and their parents, do not want sexual orientation to be the defining
aspect of their identity. They don't
want it to be an issue that is discussed on a regular basis, and they believe
that boys should grow up to be responsible, healthy men, and girls should grow
up to be responsible, healthy women.
Gays, in contrast, are making their sexual orientation the center of
their identity, and are forcing us to focus on the matter when we do not wish
to highlight it. There is a deep,
narcissistic craving among these people to be at the center of attention, and
to have the rest of us (who are the majority, by the way) to accept them for
who they are without any reservations.
These people want to be
acknowledged for their sexual orientation, when most of us don’t want to know
about it, and don’t particularly make our own sexual orientation the defining
trait of who we are. I don’t walk around with “heterosexual” written all
over me, and I don’t particularly want to know what anyone else’s sexual
proclivities are. In my many years of Scouting, I can’t recall a
particular session we’ve had with our Scouts where we discussed such a thing. While there are parents in our troop who are
open to the idea of the gay lifestyle being legitimate, they don't want sexual
orientation to be discussed in Scouting – period.

2. The idea that the Scouts are being exclusive
and mean is dishonest. In fact, it is
gay activists who are being dishonest in this culture clash. Scouts
are not going out heckling gay people.
They aren't openly speaking out on the lifestyle. They are merely being selective in who they
accept as members. In contrast, gay
activists are going after the Boy Scouts just like they are going after
mainstream churches, because they seek to break down any potential barrier to
our forced acceptance of their way of life. While they might come out
with sympathetic anecdotes of Boy Scouts who felt they could never fully enjoy
Scouting because they were secretly gay (designed, of course, to evoke sympathy
from emotional people), they also use strong-arm tactics and threaten boycotts
on private, corporate sponsors of organizations like the Boy Scouts. They
don’t advertise that fact, because they don’t want to be seen as hostile in
their approach, but they have shown time and again that they are willing to go
to the mat using any tactic necessary to foist their agenda on those of us who
are neither interested in it, nor agree with it. They have also sued the
Boy Scouts multiple times, and have lost in all cases – even at the Supreme
Court – because our Constitution allows organizations to assemble based on
their own membership requirements. Freedom of association is one of our
God-given rights as Americans.

3. Caving on the issue of cleanliness will
embolden people who are already trying to remove God from Scouting – overtly
and covertly. It will be according a
victory to people who have been less than honest in their undertakings. In our Oath,
we pledge on our honor to do our duty to God and our Country, and when we
recite the Scout Law, we note that a Scout is Reverent. In support of
their position, so-called gay rights activists are asserting that we are
somehow open to atheists and agnostics.
If we are, that is a serious mistake that we are making, and we should
course-correct immediately. I know I am
not the only parent and former Scout who believes that no Boy Scout is being
honest and true to the Oath and Law if he is a practicing atheist or
agnostic. And no Boy Scout is living a clean, honest living if he is
living a life which is contrary to the values of the Boy Scouts.

We have seen many cases
now wherein gays – youth and adults – have knowingly involved themselves in
Scouting, only to come out in an effort to challenge the organization.
This is a deceptive practice. It does not speak well of them or their
backers. Many costly, wasteful and painful lawsuits have arisen from
this, and none of them have done anything to advance the cause of gays seeking
to discredit the Boy Scouts. They have instead torn troops apart, and
caused many young men and boys to be frustrated that they cannot enjoy Scouting
without adult political and social agendas getting in the way.

4. There is no redeeming social good to the gay
lifestyle that merits it as a model for adult behavior. In fact, it is fraught with risk, and the
people who engage in it – either by choice or biology – are not desirable role
models for our boys. Human urges that tend to have negative outcomes,
like alcoholism, addictions to gambling and sex, pedophilia, and arson are
rightly viewed negatively. In the past, we have called them afflictions,
realizing that we don’t fully understand why people suffer these things, and
because we have some sympathy for the afflicted person as a fellow human being.
While we sympathize with afflicted people, we also recognize as a society that
afflictions often manifest themselves in ways that are dangerous to both the
afflicted person and people around them. The Progressive Movement in
American history, for instance, fought hard against alcoholism and gambling
because alcoholism was killing men and leaving their households without
breadwinners, and gambling because it was leaving the gamblers and their
families destitute. We don’t know why some people become alcoholic and
others don’t, but we are rightfully concerned about alcoholism, counsel against
the ways in which one becomes an alcoholic, and we often times prevent
alcoholics from holding security clearances and working in certain
professions. A history of gambling or sexual promiscuity can also prevent
someone from receiving a security clearance in our country. This is based
on the reasonable recognition that people who live with these afflictions are
not entirely trustworthy or reliable. They may have the best intentions,
but their urgings make them vulnerable and compromise their capabilities.
Not surprisingly, family members often suffer when they have to depend on these
people, because they do not show good judgment, and they often prove to be
unreliable.

As a Christian and a
fellow human, I would contend that we should not condemn such afflicted
people. I see reason and logic, however, in ensuring that we don’t go out
of our way to entrust these kinds of people with things ranging from state
secrets to the raising of our children. Personally, I don’t want my child
to associate with alcoholics, gamblers and sex-addicts; I don’t see any
redeeming value to it, and while I can’t prevent it one hundred percent, if I
am allowed to try to stop it, I will. Instead, I choose to have my child
associate with people who I believe live cleanly and reverently. People
who bow to God, who seek to serve God and their country, and who seek to be
good citizens who give as much as they receive, if not more. While I don't have much of a say over who my
son spends time with at public school, I do have some control over who he
associates with in Scouting. So far, Boy
Scouts has stood for the things I agree with over the last 100-plus years. When the rest of our society was divided by
race, for instance, the Boy Scouts was one of the few organizations that
bridged the racial gap. It promotes brotherly love, good citizenship,
leadership, and living cleanly and responsibly. It sets a high standard that
many choose not to aspire to.

We do not know why
anyone is gay. There is no definitive study that says with 100 percent
certainty that people are born gay. I believe that people may be born who
could become gay or stay straight, and that something happens to them along the
way that determines their orientation. It could be the household they
grow up in, the early sexual experiences they have, abuse, or
molestation. The fact is, we simply don’t know. I’m not interested
in persecuting gay people, and I’m also not interested in learning more about
their so-called lifestyle than I already know, just as I am not particularly
interested in knowing about anyone’s sexual preferences. For most
Americans, these are deeply personal things that are not to be paraded around
in front of people. Most Americans do not identify themselves mainly by
their sexuality. If asked to do so, they are usually offended. In
fact, most Americans are not seeking attention like gay people seem to be doing
right now. They are instead going about their daily lives, working hard
to fulfill their duties at the workplace, and supporting their families at
home. Most Americans daily choose to associate with people like
themselves. It is behind the adage, “Birds of a feather flock
together.” They understandably and almost instinctively resist being
forced to socialize with people who they see as different. This is
normal. It is human. While Christians like me strive to overcome
this instinct, we also recognize that it is not necessarily cruel or motivated
by meanness. In many cases, it reflects our desire to avoid being caught
up in the kinds of things that lead to trouble. At some point in my life,
I stopped hanging around with other people who drank heavily, because I
recognized that it did not bring out good things in me. Most people would
agree that that was a wise decision, and would commend it and encourage others
to follow suit. Similarly, we often encourage others to join athletic
clubs, because we all end up benefitting by being involved collectively in
healthy, athletic pursuits. So, as a society, we regularly urge people to
do some things, and discourage other things.
I know I am not alone in this view: I do not wish to have my son, or anyone
else's sons, be actively mentored by gay men or older gay boys in the kinds of
settings that Scouting affords. In
saying this, I'm not saying that their "gayness" will rub off on my
son. I am merely stating that I do not
believe that they are suitable role models for boys. It is consistent with the view that I do not
wish my son (or I, for that matter) to voluntarily associate with people who do
things I don't approve of.

5. The gay lifestyle – especially among men – is
obviously unclean, and that is based on reams of historical documentation that
range from studies conducted in prison, to medical records, surveys of gay bars,
bathhouses and other such establishments in our cities. It tends
to be promiscuous, and among men, it involves certain sexual acts that are physically
destructive to the human body, and potentially transmit disease. While
gay activists point to homosexual behavior among male animals as proof that it
is "normal," we know that animals practice this kind of behavior to show
dominance over rivals, not out of desire or an instinct to procreate. The homosexual sex act is neither loving nor
procreative. (I realize that there are heterosexuals that practice these
acts as well, but I would contend that they are not good role models for a
healthy lifestyle, and I wouldn't want them working with my son, either.) Our country is now spending billions of
taxpayer dollars on mitigating for the spread of HIV and AIDS, and while these destructive
diseases are not transmitted solely by homosexuals, they undeniably spread
rapidly through the homosexual population, and that population is more at risk
to these diseases than any other. In
this way, we are already dedicating a huge chunk of our resources to a very
small group of people in the U.S. who, in acting out on their urges and
impulses, were behaving irresponsibly.
While, as a Christian, I can accept that burden, I do not see the need
for us to sacrifice institutions like the Boy Scouts so that gay people can
feel fully accepted on their terms by
those of us who are not gay. As a
society, we have already paid a huge cost for tolerating what we have. How much more must we yield to people who
many would argue live a culture of death?

6. Ceding this matter of principle to the gay
community will dishearten people trying to be faithful to their beliefs. It will not mollify gay activists – who will
ratchet up their demands for more concessions – and it will not change how people
who do not agree with the gay lifestyle view it. If gay
American citizens insist that they be recognized and treated like everyone
else, that is their right to do that. But they should know that there
will always be people who won’t see them that way. If they put a muzzle
on such people through political correctness, it won’t change those people’s
minds. Thus, what they want will never be achieved, because you cannot
force people to believe in something that they choose not to believe in.
Atheists have proven this, and people like me who are willing to speak their mind
in defense of their faith will prove this as well. It is also a lie and a
fallacy to assert that people who do not accept homosexuality are intolerant
bigots. I am not a bigot, and I tolerate much more than most people do in
the course of my work and daily living. The fact is, we as a society make
judgments about things – thereby tolerating or not tolerating them – all the
time. It is normal in an ordered society. We tend to tolerate and
promote things that we see as for the common good, including healthy marriage,
which, when done properly, leads to procreation and the continuation of our
society. Conversely, we tend not to promote ways of life that lead to
dead ends, and the destruction of self and others. We see them as
selfish, short-sighted and reckless. For good or bad, we still tolerate
such negative behavior in our society, even if it is hard to see the social
good that comes from it. This is mainly because we, as free people,
choose to avoid telling others to stop things that we object to, even when we
probably should. We have become a conflict-avoiding people, and have
deluded ourselves into believe that tolerating everything is both possible and
good. I am sure that, whether or not the BSA changes its policies with
respect to how it views homosexuality, gays will continue to live in our
society. There is growing acceptance – for good or bad – of their
lifestyle. There are few, if any, people
anymore who outright attack gays or treat them meanly. Whether or not the
BSA changes, gayness will go on, just as heterosexual living will continue. Changing our policy will achieve nothing
good, but will contribute further to our societal degradation.

7. If gays want to do scouting so much, they can
form their own Gay Scouts of America, just as the Girl Scouts formed the Girl
Scouts of America in the wake of the Boy Scouts. I am quite sure that millions would agree
that there is merit to the existence of separate Boy and Girl Scout
organizations. Gays could have a Gay Scout organization if they choose to
place their sexual orientation at the center of their identity.

If I am to accept their
motives as pure, it would seem that the gays who want to be allowed into
Scouting want the benefits of being part of a well-established organization.
There is nothing wrong with that, but if their “welcoming” into the
organization will be resented because it is forced, they might consider that
they could do better by forming their own organization. People like new
and novel things. They might be able to get some of the financial backers
they have forced to abandon the BSA to back them (e.g., Merck). Perhaps our President will become the Chief
Scout of their organization? Who knows? In a hundred years’ time,
they might prove that they are better than the traditional Boy Scouts of
America. Seriously.

Sadly, I don’t think that this is what this is about. This is, as I stated earlier, an attempt
to go after a pillar of traditional American society with an aim to deal it a
mortal blow. If the BSA caves to their strong-arm tactics, the gay rights
activists will trumpet their victory with the arrogance that can be expected of
them, just as they have done in forcing thousands of people out of our
mainstream church denominations by forcing those denominations to accept gay
clergy. If the BSA caves to pressure on this issue, we will see an end
to Boy Scouts. Men like me, and our sons will eventually stop
participating. We will carry out our adventures with like-minded people –
as is our God-given, Constitutional right – elsewhere. The gay rights
activists’ victory will thus be pyrrhic. They will have won the battle,
but ultimately will lose the war if their aim is to see Scouting fully embrace
them as they want to be embraced. This will be a sad development for
America, because an organization that has done so much to raise clean,
civic-minded, patriotic followers and leaders will have been crushed under the
pressure of a small but vocal movement. We will witness the triumph of
what political scientists aptly call “the tyranny of the minority,” and one
more pillar in the values-based foundation of our country – a country founded
first and foremost for the worship of God – will have been destroyed by
rebellious, wayward man. I and others like me pray that this will not
happen, and that good sense and respect for our Constitutional rights will
prevail, for the good of our nation, so that it may be salt and light to the
rest of the world and glorify God.

I don,t beleive I heard Morality and that=The Quality of being morally right or moral behavior come out in the Great Obama,s talk about Scouting. Let the gay people learn about some of these things instead of other people judgeing them and say O your gay thats whats wrong with you I beleive their is to much labeling of young people that they maybe gay or not.I have two friends that are much older gay guys and there the people that tell me these things and alot makes good sence.I,m not blind to alot of this Ive seen a program about some gay people and they showed that 87% gay people are most the time over weight people that can,t find anyone but someone like their self and thats good but sad in away I don,t mean to offend anyone but YOU OFFEND ME

ATTENTION PLEASE:

I can say this because I used to be a cub scout, and am now married for 22 years to a woman with children: You folks currently running the Boy Scouts need to have your religious wackos pull their collective heads out of their backwoods asses. The President of the United States of America has given you a directive - just as another US president gave the southerners a directive - they also did not want to follow it, quoted the bible to validate their position. Remember the "can't learn from history" quote? Probably not, since so many hard-line, 'family first' types can't see past their own noses. If people refuse to be fair then I say: "BOYCOTT THE BOY SCOUTS!"

Why don't the gays join the girl scouts where they would feel more at home.

Stop trying to equate homosexuality with blacks and the struggles of blacks, this hurts your cause
much more than it could ever help it!!!

....BSA is entitltled to not have gay scouts leaders....even the Supreme Court agrees.........

The highest court in American agreed that BSA is a private organization and they can control membership...what's wrong with that. So what's the argument from the gay community??

What the gay community should do is start their own organization with gay scouts, lesbian and gay leaders and then everyone is happy and be with the people they choice to associate with.

And the real bottom line is that BSA is built on tradtional values...no intelligent parent wants their 11-17 year old son camping overnight with known gay leaders....you're just inviting trouble along with major litigation if a Penn State type issue occurs.

My God this liberal rag is hideous. Not one day have they gone without a gay story? Are your freaks in the 8th grade? Gays are queer is that not simple enough? What your trying to do is make Queer into Normal. And with brainwashing you can do it yeah liberals yeah. Keep it up look at Obama trillions and trillions of debt trillions to bankers who buy stock you idiots think he loves little people. My God America is toasted stupid.

Keep the ban. Keep the ban. Keep the ban.

I am not a homophobe. I do not hate gays and I do think they should have some
rights. Be gay, be a couple, call it marriage if you like. I don't care. But
I will not have anything to do with your wedding. I am also against things like
gay adoption.

To those who consider themselves to be both gay and Christian, and also to
those who support gay rights in the church, I have this to say. You know very

and an abomination if done in the church. Churches that support gay marriage in

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope all of you realize the only decision that can't be undone is one that allows them. It will also mean Hundreds of Thousands of people pulling their children out of BSA. This has nothing to do with being homophobic as some of you claim. This has to do with what you subject your kids to when you are not there to make sure nothing happens to them. We all know that children are susceptible and to young to understand the consequences of their action. A child that might think it's ok now my feel differently later and by then have to live with it. Maybe I'm wrong, not knowing exactly how old a child is when he joins the BSA but I know sex should be the last thing on his mind. Children have enough to deal with they don't need to worry about what the two men are doing in the tent next to them or in the sleeping bag next to them!

You're in trouble, we should let the Republikans pervert the constitution to achieve their misguided agenda. The T-Party has a neo-Nazi solution for everything based on removing your rights with a constitutional agenda.

motherjones.com/mojo/2011/08/koch-brothers-school-segregation-americans-prosperity

Denying right to ANY American is not constitutional

While the LGBTs are on their little power trip, why don't they just form their own scout type organization. They can even choose to accept or ban those who view themselves as heterosexual. Is it because they know it would fail and disappear or are they just trying to be their usual attention whoring selves?

I have never seen a story about a non gay trying to force his way into a gay organization.

Even if the national BSA change the rule, they will be leaving it up to the local counsels. Even if local counsels change their rule it won't stop the hate. It's funny how a group that's supposed to be based on... oh heck it doesn't matter there's still too many hateful people around. Must be contagious. Someone has been to France and brought it back to us. We came up with a vaccine for flu, maybe we can create one for hate?
