Homosexuals are prohibited from being scoutmasters, not members. Why is it that this phenomena is reality, or should be? If BSA were truly discriminating, then the gay youth of america would be excluded from joining, but they aren't. The fact of the matter is, sexuality shouldn't be an issue for members of the boy scouts. They are simply young people growing up and learning lessons **enter the flamer.
They aren't banned from being youth leaders because of their sexual preference, they are banned because there sexual preference injects itself into every nonsexual aspect of their lives. You may take some offense to that, but if it weren't true, would ones sexuality ever have become an issue here? Absolutely not. Learning about ones sexuality during the formative years (i.e. - the BSA years), is tough enough.
Shakran, were straight people allowed to be GLB masters, so to speak? If they weren't was that a problem for you? Not to mention this is a club focused on ones sexuality. If a young person decides he'd like to be a part, more power to him, but sexuality should not be forced on anyone that age. If a grown man is incapable of leading young people in a social club (which has NOTHING to do with ones sexuality), without revealing his sexual preference, then he shouldn't be leading them in the first place.
