Your point is well taken, Tom. The reality is that culture has expanded all forms of social tolerance into everyday life. The church (no longer the Body of Christ, but a social organism seeking to preserve status quo) objects at the evidence that satan is apparently prevailing over the power of the gospel.

Would Christ have protested and lobbied against further ethical decay? No, Scripture records Him using turmoil to teach. His Body is needed to become engaged in scouting to proclaim Eternal Truth to those confused by the surrounding darkness.

Rather than gay scouts, I suspect that the serious threat to this generation of boys is the electronic toys that have captured their imagination and hijacked their enthusiasm.

May GOD use the BSA General Council vote to further awaken and activate His Body as His witness for Truth. Jesus came to "testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice" John 18:37b. Are we listening?

My youngest son is working on Eagle Scout. He loves God, the US Constitution, his community and has morals. BSA is about to make a tragic mistake by kicking God out of an organization, largely due to Homosexual bullying by the homosexual activist groups, government groups following Obama's lead, and just about any organization on the Uber Liberal Left.
Liberals just can't seem to allow Christians and Christian Organizations to believe in the one God America was founded on and the one God who was influential in the drafting of the Consitution - Only liberals will argue these points because of their low information cranial capacities to receive and learn their national history.
For the life of me, I just can't understand how heterophobia and hatred has infiltrated every every corner of the liberal mentality. The mainstream media props up the most vilest of far left organizations who hate America - calling them patriots....... while also tearing down the Tea Party, True Christian Organizations (not in name only), and the basic famly unit which consists of a man, woman, and children.

So then I guess that you are the gay college roommate hoping to hijack the next innocent college kid. Your response is more of the bully tactics gays employ on the subject. Why are you heterophobic? What drives you to attack people who believe in God, the Bible and yes, opposite relationships?
Just exactly (if you ever have a child) tell your adopted kids that you are a homosexual and desire abnormal Relationships? How do you explain if you contract aids how you acquired such a disease? (poop chute doesn't sound very admirable or moral)

I get a chuckle each time I see someone who gayer than a pink sweater preach to normal people that being gay is normal.

Until the Boy Scouts rid themselves of the "Board Leadership" that is pushing this homosexual agenda, they will continue to decline into oblivion, which is exactly what the homosexual business community wants.

My sentiments EXACTLY!

I NEVER use the word "gay" unless I mean "happy" or "carefree." I know this is not PC, but I am not a PC person. On the contrary. I say it like it is.

can't read the article because of a stupid vote pop-up that won't go away.

So then I can guess that college is out of the question then? It's quite possible that your son will be sharing a room with a gay classmate not for a couple of nights, but nine months. You shouldn't even bother asking to change roommates- you'll be politely ejected from the residence office.
What about gay co-workers, or supervisor? You can't lie to your son forever.

Just when exactly were you planning on telling your son that not everyone is heterosexual, but that he still has to learn to live and work with them? You'll put that discussion off for a good long time one can guess. By the time you work up the courage, your son will chuckle at your awkward attempt to explain a commonplace human variation that is already a part of his everyday life and culture.

Clayton, you recognize how important good role models are. Not having them is one of or possibly the most significant reason people become gay. People effect the lives of other people, right? Is it right that a group of people who clearly don't want the influence of homosexuals choose to open the doors to homosexuals so that they can be "helped for their troubled times growing up?" Is it worth exposing those who clearly don't want the influence in the hopes that they will change their orientation? Wouldn't you agree that the damage has been done already by the lack of positive male role models? Most people would believe that it's not worth exposing many to homosexuality with the hope that one person might change.

I'll include the story I added earlier that might illustrate what I am talking about:

We all must not forget the persuasiveness that teachers and leaders have over children. I have a friend who, when he was 14, agreed to feed the pets of a teacher who was going on vacation. He was given a key to the house and, not expecting the teacher to be there, found he had not left yet. This teacher, along with another who lived there, persuaded the boy, leading him into homosexual activity. His parents were led to believe their son had continued opportunities to earn money by working at the teacher's home throughout high school. They had no idea what was going on.

That happened in 1978. He tried to break out of it and was married, which lasted only a few months. He tried to commit suicide and then ran away from home in the Seattle area. 25 years later, his parents were able to find him in Florida. His shame prevented him from communicating with his family.

Now the homosexuals political powers desire to have free reign over these children who's identity has not been formed yet. Please do not allow them to have ANY influence over the decisions made by the Boy Scouts of America. IF the powers that be force their policies on you, it is IMPERATIVE that you dissolve the organization. Remember, if you allow them to change the values that the BSA have been founded upon for over 100 years, God will hold you accountable for the destruction you allow by your decisions.

I am an Eagle, OA Brotherhood, had sons in scouts and would have had grandsons in. NOT! if gays allowed. Would do whatever I could to end scouts, encourage church, corporations, united way any way possible to cut off all support, funding, close doors/buildings/parks, pull every straight child end scouts totally. Not program Baden Powell had in mind. No gays or No scouts. It's BSA not BSGay.

An inconsistent national policy would definitely open the door to lawsuits. This is one issue where the organization is going to be unable to straddle the fence. If the BSA abandons its stand against homosexuality it will be unable to undo the action. It will be unable in the future to revert to the old policy on the grounds that homosexuality runs counter to its core beliefs. Its core beliefs will have been sacrificed to the god of political correctness.

In reality the vote will be to end the Boy Scouts as we know it. If the scouts embrace the gay agenda it is likely to lose many troops affiliated with churches and conservative organizations. If there was an interest in having a gay scouting organization one would have been started by now. Human Rights Campaign, Southern Poverty Law Center or one of the other pro-homosexual organizations could have started a scouting organization open to all flavors of sexuality, but they haven't. Why? Could it be they fear what would happen in an organization that has no real boundaries of right and wrong? Could it be that such a scouting organization would be so small it would be irrelevant?

In the end this is one more attempt to force an organization to change to fit the gay agenda. If the change destroys the Boy Scouts, the gay agenda really doesn't care.

I am older and hang out with guys way older and well healed. Those that have spoken on this issue are prepared to stop their contributions to the BSA should they bow to the homosexuals. The BSA is no place for social tinkering. Merriam-Webster defines gay as:

1 a : happily excited : merry <in a="" gay="" mood="">
b : keenly alive and exuberant : having or inducing high spirits
2
a : bright, lively <gay sunny="" meadows="">b : brilliant in color

None of the above defines the homosexual life style. The word has been co-opted by homosexuals because they don't like to be referred to as homosexuals, but the fact remains, they are homosexual and not gay.

Apparently something "affected" you and it wasn't good. I sincerley hope the Boy Scouts would influence boys NOT to take this route instead of support them on their journey.

There's a Gay Scout going around saying that getting gays into the Scouts is just the beginning....his interview is on the Yahoo news today. THIS is exactly what the majority of us hate about it....they aren't satisfied to just be IN the organization...they want to TAKE IT OVER! They want to CRAM it down our throats and FORCE us to think it's normal.....and it's NOT!!!!!

Clayton, let me encourage you to form an organization that is aligned with your world view. I'm sure that there are many others who think the way you do that would be more that willing to participate in a gay scouting-oriented organization. Feel free to teach values and skills modeled after the BSA. Let me discourage you and those who feel the way that you do from forcing your views on the Boy Scouts of America. They have a right to associate with like-minded individuals, as do you.

Allowing open homosexuals membership into Boy Scouts will only destroy an organization once founded on morals and values. In my opinion, that is sad.

I am not saying that boys who believe they are gay should not be allowed in scouts. They should be reached out to and coy filed. The scouts folks God' values and therefore should give council as such. God has judged the gay lifestyle as contrary to his word. Repentance and faith in Christ can take away the desire and bring a person into fellowship with God. Without faith and repentance there is no fellowship.

My youngest son was an Arrow Of Light recipient. I went on an overnight outing with them and it was good wholesome fun. I admire the pack leaders and those committed to Scouting, but I promise you that as a responsible parent, there is no way that, in good conscience, I would allow my son to be exposed to a situation like camping out with gays might present. These young boys should not even be aware of homosexuality, let alone be exposed to the idea that the gay lifestyle agenda is normal.

Former cub scout...I had a great time in my life bringing in the core values and leadership in my life from this organization and others like it growing up. I am gay and I'm thankful for those times. When I talk to other gay males finding out thier pasts lacked such good role models?!? I seem to find, if I ask a passive question if support and leadership was provided, could that have helped for their troubled times growing up? "Yes" & "definately" are the responses I hear most. To me this supports that BSA needs to be there for all young boys. It can give them a foundation that would affect them their whole lives.
