Boy Scouts of America keeps gay ban

The Boy Scouts of America will not change its policy of excluding gay scouts and scout leaders, following a secret two-year review, the group says.

The current policy allows families to address sexuality in private and no further action will be taken, it added.

Eleven volunteers and leaders, with a range of "perspectives and opinions", were chosen to undertake the study.

Critics, including some board members, say they support internal change and gay members should be allowed to join.

Jim Turley, chairman and chief executive of consulting firm Ernst and Young, and Randall Stephenson, head of the US telecoms company AT&T, were two of the organisation's board members who said they would support a change in policy.

Is America the land of the free or do you have to be a heterosexual white Christian to be free?

Artevelde, again the sender of a red brick, seems to think my post is "stupid".
That especially ignorant poster has no ability to read and understand simple English as

Only in your own bigotted mind should it be illegal for free organisations of people such as the Boy Scouts to exist.

I wonder if he can get his mummy to read my post in the form of a bedtime story and explain what it's about.

Can you read?
bugger me, what a thicko.

 

[Indofred]

Can someone explain why the 'land of the free' isn't so free or doesn't it fit your ideals because it's only fags you're banning?
Could be worse.
They could be black fags then they've have to sit at the back of the bus on their way home.

Land of the free - Crap.
Land of the bigots - maybe.

Why can't gay's have their own version of scouts?
This is what freedom is all about.
Boy Scouts have their freedom and gay's would have their own.

The boy scouts is a private organization. They can set any rules they like.

Why not consider that the Supreme Court has given the BSA the freedom to hire people they think can do the best job rather than be forced to hire potential pedophiles and risk the safety of young boys. Live \with it lefties and quit whining.

 

[Katzndogz]

To liberals, land of the free means that everyone has to do only what the government lets them do.

 

[whitehall]

In their hate filled bigoted little minds minds, liberals fail to understand that the BSA can hire overt homosexuals if they want to. Would any sane parent permit hetrosexual men to supervise young girls? The same logic goes for homosexual men and young boys. The Supreme Court merely gave the BSA the freedom to choose whom they want to hire. Freedom is the last thing on the radical liberal mind when they advocate that the government force the BSA to place the mental health and safety of young boys at risk.

You guys are missing some points. I was a Boy Scout for about 6 years and made life rank (one below Eagle). The Boy Scouts have female leaders so clearly your argument is invalid, in respect to BSA. The issue is a point of morality.

Also I (a 21 year old dude), would be able to supervise young girls without any issues. So would many other adult, heterosexual men. It is not fair to condemn our whole gender as unrestrained sexual deviants, simply because there is potential for individuals to prey on young girls (and the same goes for older women and young boys).

Looking back, I can see that the entire point of the BSA organization is to establish character traits that help support people in a community, as well as self development. I think the world will have to be a near perfect utopia before the BSA, of all organizations, should be torn apart because of minor issues like these.

You are absolutely free to join up with any Private Organization that allows gays.
This particular one doesn't.
Don't join.

That advice is free.

The Girls Scouts don't allow boys to join, do they?

Faux-Outrage noted.

As long as they don't take public funding..and aren't a for-profit..they should be able to restrict membership.

And, as much as I recall, they fit those qualifications.

I was also a Life Scout and Jr Troop Leader

Why can't gay's have their own version of scouts?
This is what freedom is all about.
Boy Scouts have their freedom and gay's would have their own.

then we couldn't have threads like this one.
but it's ok they want to FORCE the boy scouts to CONFORM to them

 

[NeoTemplar]

Same reason Gays will never have a real marriage its just not possible, now they could have a Buttscouts troop

 

[Katzndogz]

The only way to have freedom, is really, not to have freedom at all. You have the freedom to do what government tells you to have, no more, no less.

 

[LogikAndReazon]

Perhaps the Boy Scouts can change the name of their organization to the transgendered, homosexual, rainbow coalition of obese , chinese, crossdressing midgets of America............Be all inclusive
