OK I reworded my post and I apologize if I offended anyone with my last poll.......I am and old country boy and sometimes the meaning is not what I meant....I really would like to know how the members of the forum feel about this issue.
South Park episode?

It wouldn't bother me in numbers either, nor it isn't my job to be politically correct. I don't think they can pass on the the homosexuality, and I see no more threat from homosexuals than heterosexuals. I keep the same eye on all of them.
I think you're overlooking the important question here: would you let your kids go camping with Commander Riker?

Unless you're at camp, you can't keep an eye on them.
My answer would be very dependent on the circumstances--ages, is the counselor openly gay or just other campers, etc.
Thank you for your rewording, Navy Pride.
I voted yes. If the leader was gay, it wouldn't bother me. It might bother me, however, if (and you used the plural, don't forget) a number of the young boys were openly gay....or if a number of the leaders were openly gay. It would depend on my son's age.
My job with my child is not to be politically correct.
Edit: I would be more concerned about the boys themselves than the leaders, actually.
I voted no and it is because of the age factor. A boy or girl 10-15 years old is very moldable. I don't think gay is an inherited trait so I must presume it is learned, even if the learning is subliminal. I wouldn't want my child to think the only way you know if you are gay is if you try it and don't like it. Put yourself back in your pubescent mindset and then answer.
