Boy Scouts debate

I have been known from time to time to take a stance on certain public issues or even give my commentary on things happening in the News. Today I have something to say regarding the Boy Scout debate. For those of you do not know, the current stance is that the Boy Scouts of America does not allow openly gay members or Troop leaders. For some this can be seen as discriminatory and for others it is seen as "just".

I am not here to put anyone down or to ridicule their values. I am simply stating my opinion. The Boy Scouts of America needs to stop being discriminatory and they need to get with the times. We are in a time where people are more open to express their sexual preferences and they are proud about who they are. Who are they to say, "you are not Boy Scout material because you are gay?"

I always thought that Boy Scouts stood for honor, courage, and a moral code of integrity. So does this mean that a guy person cannot be honorable? Can they not be courageous? Can they not exhibit integrity? The answer to these questions is not left for me to answer. This is something that the administration of the Boy Scouts of America has to ask themselves as they attempt to come to a decision regarding this topic.

It is to my understanding that a lot of the troops are sponsored by churches. I know that in the beliefs of religion being openly gay is wrong. Can someone please tell all the priests that molest the alter boys that touching little children is far worse than openly admitting to being gay? It is not like Gay is a disease. *achoo* I just sneezed on you and I am gay. That means that you will be Gay too. No.. It does not work that way. People who choose to live an alternative lifestyle deserve to have rights just as anyone else.

My poppee's... What are your opinions on this? Are you for allowing Gays in the Scouts? or are you against it?
