The original question was "Why would a homosexual want to be a scout?"
"To enjoy the same activities as his peers" was the answer.
I believe I have shown that they are, in fact, peers, and the answer Ravi gave was an accurate one.
and my answer is that children are neither homosexual or heterosexual. a Kid doesn't know.
You mention when they get older. Rarely , if ever, does someone join when they are older, they normally begin in kindergarten and continue up through high school, or leave at some point for whatever reason. NO kid that has been raised with the values that the BSA teach is going to turn into a flaming gay at age 15 that can't keep his mouth shut about his gayness but wants to stay in the BSA. It just isn't going to happen. So that argument is MOOT.
Now a child that can keep his yapper shut about being gay is welcome to stay in the BSA.
So I guess my question SHOULD have been "Why would anyone want to be openly gay in the BSA when they KNOW that the BSA don't want them?"
When did we drop the bar in this nation to mean that if you don't like the way a private organization operates you have the "right" to sue to get them to change?
Jews, Hindus, and Muslims ALL share the Christian value that homosexuality is wrong, so in that societal group, they fit in.
Liberal Jewish sects are allowing for the ordination of homosexual rabbi's. Lutherans allow homosexuals into their church, they just debate on whether they should be allowed to be ordained.
So once again, being a homosexuality does not exclude a young man from being a peer with other heterosexual scouts.
Radioasswipe made a post I have to give a thanks on. What the fuck next?
Pay attention more often and you'll see that I always make sense.
