In a surprising announcement on Monday, the Boy Scouts Of America which have had a long standing policy of encouraging gays and lesbians in the organization to stay quiet circulated an email indicating a change is coming. According to the New York Times who obtained the email:
“The Boy Scouts would not, under any circumstances, dictate a position to units, members, or parents,” said a spokesman for the Boy Scouts of America, Deron Smith, in a statement. “This would mean there would no longer be any national policy regarding sexual orientation, and the chartered organizations that oversee and deliver Scouting would accept membership and select leaders consistent with each organization’s mission, principles, or religious beliefs.”
Conservative groups are said to be outraged at the change expected to be announced at an upcoming executive board meeting, think this will have an effect on their membership?

I gotta problem with this. I wouldnt want my child around that behavior…have nothing against people doing their own thing but I’m here to instill values and morals in them and thats not it.
so you don’t want your kid around sexually active single heterosexuals either?
your point doesn’t make any sense.
I don’t want my children to be influence by that behavior. Any sexual behavior but especially homosexual behavior.
why would there be y homosexual behavior?
it’s the boy scouts.
homos make up at least 10% of the population. they serve/make your food at restaurants. they make your drinks. they are your doctors. your barber. your dentist. your auto mechanic. your weed guy.
if you’re trying to avoid “homosexual behavior” by which you mean apparently anything that a homosexual does, then you have to stay in the house.
otherwise you sound fucking ridiculous.
Word.
I understood. You do know that Boy Scouts are very infleunctial, right? Its not like being served food at a restaurant. These men are there to mentor children.

no one is going to convince me that the homosexual lifestyle is right. I accept people and respect their choices but I will protect my child until I cant do it any longer.
your ignorance is not protecting your child idiot. it’s making your child a fucking retard.
congratulations. and on top of that… no one is going to convince you… of course you’re going to raise a child who is gonna take over the world!
SIGH
good luck to you.
It’s not ignorance. I dont want my child around homosexuals at an impressionable age….picking up on mannerisms and stuff like that.
First, the Boy Scouts are supposed to be upset about the cover-up of sex abuse. What they think will fix the situation is allowing Gay Scouts & leaders. It’s all about un-accountability, trying to confuse the situation so people can do whatever they want & not hear two things about it.
You all do realize that there is no such thing as homosexual tendencies anymore than there are heterosexual tendencies, yes? Homosexuality is not something that one “teaches” because it isn’t a choice. So while you’re saying you don’t want your child raised around “that” you’re only stunting their growth. Your behavior and ignorance only makes it more difficult to achieve equal rights.
