The BSA chapters here in Utah are not withdrawing, donations are a bit less, and the noise about the vote is almost gone.

If the LDS can put up with this, then so can everyone else.

If scouts are losing numbers in great amounts there are many factors not just the gay issue. I am a den leader and I oppose this simply because my son is too young to be dealing with these adult issues.

get out of bsa and start a Duty to God program of their own

Frankly, I am less than a fan of homosexuality (but I don't hate it) but this is a created issue.
In trying to force their views about poofters being dirty shit stabbers, the right has shot themselves in the foot.
If they'd simply left the issue alone, there would never had been a problem.

 

[whitehall]

It opens the door for all sorts of harassment law suits from sissies who think there should be a merit badge for female impersonation and they didn't get promoted because they accosted another boy in the bathroom. CNS is right, it's another tradition down the drain and it's RIP for the BSA.

Yanno....................it's called the Boy Scouts of America, not the Christian Boy Scouts of America.

I'd be willing to bet that there are Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, and Muslim Boy Scouts currently. And, what is "moral" for one religion, isn't necessarily "moral" for another one.

Who determines what is "moral" anyway? That is a BS term used mainly by religious nuts trying to force others to adopt their views.

If the kid is gay or straight, that shouldn't matter, because Boy Scouts is more about making yourself, your community, and the world a better place.

Sexuality should stay the hell out of it.

 

[Indofred]

Hang on a moment....

Yes, thought so.

The thread title mentions a vote.
That must mean the majority opinion won the day.

This bloody freedom to vote thing gets right in the way of your right to hate poofters.
A disgrace.

While endeavoring to “gain the world,” this once honorable institution has forfeited its soul.

Scripture admonishes: “The wages of sin is death.” (Rom. 6:23). This was a catastrophic miscalculation. It was sin, and, tragically, through this sin, the BSA has now effectively sealed its own fate. It has set into motion its own demise.

‘Scripture’ was written by men, reflecting man’s ignorance, fear, and hate.

The BSA rejected the ignorance, fear, and hate advocated by the author of the opinion piece, with the understanding that the values expressed by the BSA are universal, and are practiced by all persons, regardless their sexual orientation.

Correct, nor the Heterosexual Boy Scouts of America.

Funny thing about the radical left. They only invoke "scripture" when they want to make a political point. The naked truth (pardon the pun) is that the BSA leadership's decision has opened the door for a million sexual harassment law suits that will ruin the organization. It's RIP for another American tradition.

Did they or did they not vote for this themselves?

Funny thing is it has nothing to do with the ‘radical left,’ particularly since there is no such thing. Using ignorance, fear, and hate to justify discriminatory policy is idiocy, due to the fact it’s subjective.

Just as idiotic is the notion that that there will be a flood of ‘sexual harassment’ lawsuits, as gay scouts have always been a part of the organization.

More nonsense.

Ignorance, fear, and hate have never been part of any American tradition.

Really? What other American traditions have been brought down by the gays?

That is certainly an alternative.

 

[Katzndogz]

The same thing that happened to the Girl Scouts will happen to the Boy Scouts. It will become too small to be relevant.

Starting a Christian Boy Scout organization is an alternative that some might consider as an alternataive.

Wont work. The libs will dig up a couple of gay Christian kids and they'll be right back where they started.
