It is a sad thing that the BSA has chosen to give into the gay community. I have read a few posts of well-meaning but naieve scout leaders who argue for the inclusion of gay scouts so that they can possibly have influence on them to turn away from their same sex attractions, but do you really believe that the homosexual community will allow you to do that? For those who believe that they can "staighten out" a gay scout it will not be long before the homosexual community starts bringing law suits against any scout leaders who attempt to show through teaching or example that there is anything wrong with that lifestyle. Yes, there have always been gay scouts as well as gay priests and gay pastors, but in the past, those people have not been able to openly declare their lifestyle and continue on as if nothing is wrong. The agenda of the homesexual community is to normalize their improper lifestyle so that no objections to it can be expressed. Please pray for all of us that we will hold tightly to God's word and not give into the progressive, permissive slant of today's society.Sin is sin and we are all sinners, but for us to condone or even permit open sin in our midst is the wrong thing for us to do.
