No, I was born and raised in Antarctica. I hunted seals and lived with the Penguins. Why do you ask?
You suggested that official policy change would impact how kids perceive homosexuals and teasing.
Such is rather naive
Yeah, stereotypes just don't form out of the ether.

Remember how people used to make fun of celebrities that came out as gay? Why did that stop? Why did people stop making fun of Ellen, and Seacrest?

Yeah they probably want to join the boy scouts for the same reasons I would of liked to join the girl scouts. LMAO
I do not see how this is a positive. Sexuality discussions should have no place with kids like this. Especially at what can be a very confusing time of life.
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.
I highly doubt you would legitimately want to join the girl scouts for the same reason that homosexual boys want to join the boy scouts. As a girl scout, when we went "camping", we slept in a building, on mattresses, made ribbon dancers for a project and learned a routine with it, and we went camping once, at Camp Golden Valley. Our meetings were held in a room where the scout leader normally taught preschoolers. We learned about the "brownies" who were really the children who cleaned for their parents. I would have much rather learned what the boys learned in boy scouts, how to actually do outdoor things, go camping, being rugged. And there are plenty of gay boys who want to learn those things.
I don't understand why you think just because you can't/couldn't control your urges, you believe no one else can either.
Sounds to me like gay boys would be more at home in the girl scouts. My would have liked to join the GS remark was obviously humor, get one. A sense of humor that is.
I don't think so, provided the Scout Masters nip it instantly in the bud and verbally slap kids that think such teasing is cute. If it even happens at all.
To those who say "They didn't go far enough," be aware that this is a definite step in the exact right direction. And they didn't have to do change their policy at all.

They usually form because certain individuals within groups can be obvious, and when those individuals share some common traits, then those traits are associated as being part of the group, in large numbers, when, although they may be more common in certain groups of people, that doesn't necessarily make them traits that a majority of the group holds.
Do you know what I was complaining about?
Go to any school and see how well kids respond to an authority figure telling them not to tease a person
Boy Scouts' venue is not the classroom. Classrooms don't help boys turn into men; boy scouts does.
I agree, but I don't think Maggie was claiming all gay men are flamers, more that the gay flamer isn't exactly some type of myth.
Yes. Every leadership position is open to women. In fact, more than one-third of Scout volunteers are women.
Yeah, but kids are still kids. You know, they are still assholes to each other, disregard authority when they can, etc
