 are you in favor of the boy scouts dropping their restriction that gay boys and adults can t be part of the organization  yes no undecided scouting the boy scouts are what the boy scouts are they are a private organization not government even the boy scouts have a constitutional liberty right of association and constitutional liberty right of religious principles if someone wishes to start up a special scoutinglike group for gay boys or for lgbt youth that s fine and within their constitutional liberty right of association and i would applaud them for doing so this is what is great about america there s room for all and we don t have to act like bullies saying that the boy scouts or christian groupsor republican groups have to change but other groups don t have to change including any muslim group the naacp the various ethnic or gender clubs or caucuses within the national and each state s democrat party the log cabin republicans or the stonewall democrats the national lesbian and gay journalists association queer youth alliance scouting for all lbgt youth scotland or the myriad of lgbt groups easily found in the this listing on wikipedia http enwikipediaorg wiki listoflgbtrelatedorganizations lighten up folks keep in mind that the market keep in mind that the market will determine what happens with the boy scouts it looks like they are doomed first sports now gays gay scout leaders this is a totally bad idea we will be reading and hearing soon about abuse of boys if this is allowed please boy scouts do not be bullied yes i said it bullied into making this very bad decision gays in the boy scouts how does a prepubescent or other minor boy have an established sexual orientation exactly and who determines that it is real or affected i personally feel openly gay men should not be scout leaders not that i feel that there might be any greater risk of potential sexual predation than any other adult youth leaders whatever sexual orientation seems like the boy scouts should be more concerned with keeping their financial operations in proper order from what i understand of some of their fairly recent problems that all being said do we also ask the question regarding lesbians in the girl scouts or is that already accepted practice or even policy
