If you want to be honored, you have to do honorable things and uphold honorable conduct. Being gay isn't honorable.....it's disgraceful and the boy should be banned from the scouts. IMHO |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 24420062 United States 10/04/2012 10:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This one is tough It's not easy to become an Eagle Scout and it looks good on a resume. It took guts to "come out" at that age and I genuinely feel bad for the young man. But at the same time this is a free country and private organizations have the right to make their own rules...even if those rules are unfair. This is not a simple matter , the Boy Scouts have a ban on gay scouts and leaders because of abuse ( sexual abuse ) that happened back in the 80's A few of the older boys were molesting younger scouts at summer camps (In the 1980's Boy Scouts ranged anywhere from 11-18 years old ) This promted the BSA to ban all homosexuals from scouts in 1991.(Previous to this the only ban was for Scout Leaders) Many consider this to be an over reaction But ,because 60% of all scout troops are hosted by religious groups , if the Boy Scouts begin allowing openly gay scouts and leaders ........The scouts will see roughly half of their scout troops dissolved. So basically the BSA is caught between a rock and a hard place on this one. |

IMHO On the side do realize that MANY of our so called 'representatives' in CONgress have been arrested for drunk driving, check fraud, failure to pay taxes, etc, but absolutely NOTHING is done about this? THIS is a perfect example of where 'zero tolerance' should come into play, especially since these so called reps continue with their criminal behavior yet are 'gifted' with excessively fat pensions and healthcare for life. Talk about useless eaters and 'entitlement' these are the same bastards who blame their vote getting job retention deficit spending on We the People when in reality ALL they care about is their power and financial base |

I do compare the two. I rate Christianity a lot worse though, if you were even half the loving Christian that you claim to be you would have empathy toward this kid. You call it loving your neighbour to deny something that this kid worked hard for, simply because he is gay? I bet you wear mixed fabrics, don't you? You know that is forbidden by the bible, but you don't follow that rule. Gay people don't hurt anyone by being gay, it's not a choice. But you choose to be Christian and you choose to hurt people with that choice. Perhaps you should think about that. Clearly, you don't know what you're talking about. |

When he grows up, he may change. This was not the time to make a deal of it... at then end. He is not a convicted criminal. Quoting: NightWisp He LIED about what he was, to everybody, and his mother helped keep it covered up. being sexual, and dishonest disqualifies him. gee, I wonder why he felt the need to cover up that he was gay...? of course that would never have anything to do with people like you lot. I'm glad we've established that cursing gays and bestowing your rightful christian anger onto them has absolutely nothing to do with 'being hateful'. I guess this forum is a great encouragement to other gay kids to come out and feel secure about it. more interesting to me is, how many people, once called out, state that they have no problem with gays, while the bile is still dripping from their lips. in reference to the aricle... my view is, if someone doesn't want to be your friend, you can't force them. but ultimately, it says more about them than you. |
