No Gay Scouts, Except Girls

From the beginning, I am not going to make any comment of the acceptability of homosexuals. It is about allowing a privately funding organization making a decision without interference from the government. All Americans have the right to associate with whom they please. The Boy Scouts, USA have made their choice of association. They have that right, just as I have the right to associate with whom I please. I am not making a judgement call for or against the Boy Scouts. Time will tell what is in store for the Boy Scouts and homosexuality.

"On my honor, I will do my duty to God..." says the Scout Law. There are those of religious faith who believe that homosexuality is a sin. As the Boy Scouts have that religious connection, it is understandable why they continue to reject homosexuality. Get over it. It is just the way it is and religious freedom is still on the books.

In contrast, the Girl Scouts have embraced the full rainbow of membership, unless you are a boy, you can get in the Girl Scouts. This is the funny part (depending on your sense of humor). The Girl Scouts allow homosexual girls into their ranks. The funny part is...fewer Americans have problems with lesbians than with gay men! YUP! I could not find any numbers but there is an indication by doing some reading. This goes back to basic human psychology. Women are more accepting of female intimacy (touching, hugging, crying not sex) than men are with male intimacy. It's the nurture nature.

You make up your own mind about whether you support scouting in the United States.
