I can't.....
What?
Yes, there are gays boys who want to be boy scouts. I've known some.
sry,
but nearly 10% of the german soldiers are gay. To be a soldier is very famous by gays.
Perhaps You just know effiminate gays, cause you don´t know about the sexual orientation of other gay men.
Most gays are straight-looking. Most gays discriminate against effiminated men, in saying: "I want a man, not a man who are a woman."
Yeah they probably want to join the boy scouts for the same reasons I would of liked to join the girl scouts. LMAO
I would assume if I was a 13 year old boy put into a pup tent with a 13 year old girl I would make a move as you put it,
I am gay and I was a soldier (staff sergeant) in germany.Odd stat about German soldiers, what is your source?
Yeah they probably want to join the boy scouts for the same reasons I would of liked to join the girl scouts. LMAO
That sounds like a personal problem. If you can't keep your hands to yourself, then that's an individual situation, not a general one.
I expect a certain level of respect and trustworthiness from any Boy Scout, be him gay or straight.
You're a 40 year old man who wanted to join the Girl Scouts? I think we have a bigger problem on our hands now.
"would of" = past tense and the fact that you have to attempt this slur means you are out of arguments for your position, I win.:

If you expect a 13 year old boy not to hit on a 13 year old girl he spends the night with in a pup tent you must be gay.
You'd be surprised. Nowadays, teens still use 'gay, 'fag' and 'faggots', but they rarely are intended as gay slurs.
"you might be confusing the reaction from his peers with a ban on participation."
Can you clarify this?
As I said before when gays were banned from the club and I will repeat now that they are not, the boy scouts have the right to make access decisions on who can join their club. I hope the opposing side that liked my posts in those threads will show everyone they have nothing against gays by liking this post as well.
It's not up to us to decide on who they want in their club and as I said before I really don't care one way or the other.
My point was more that kids are dicks to each other. Such teasing tends to be a common right of passage in childhood
True, but teasing only can go so far. By removing the gay ban, it removes a sense of validation to the it. It's not fun when there's no point.
Did you not associate with other children when you were younger, or something?
My suspicion that you affirmed was this gay thing is the opening salvo in getting rid of the BOY scouts and eventually just having scouts.
Kids tease each other for MANY reasons. Shall we not include kids in scouts that wear glasses because they might get teased?
You're sounding ridiculous and desperate at this point.
Damn those homosexuals for wanting to be free of discrimination!
What if they wanted to exclude blacks or latinos? What if they wanted to exclude the blind or wheel-chair bound kids. That's their right....right? Afterall....it's not up to us to decide on who they want in their club?
Why the hell should I respect ignorant fools like you?
Did you not associate with other children when you were younger, or something?
I don't agree with you. "Openly gay" has some connotations that could turn a boy scout troop into a joke. Unless they're asking the question on forms volunteer leaders are asked to fill out, I have no problem with it at all.
Was that a constitutional argument? No? I didn't think so.
I know some gay guys that are "just like everybody else." I also know some gay guys that are flamboyantly gay. You know what I mean. (I don't see this same flamboyance in lesbians at all. It's the flamboyance I'm thinking about. Many moms send their kids to Boy Scouts for the male role models they provide in their leadership. There are some gays who don't model that very well. That's just a fact.
I'm betting it's a don't-ask/don't-tell policy. It's a private organization....given that, I think they've taken a great first step. And the right one.
