AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas Gov. Rick Perry said emphatically Saturday that the Boy Scouts of America shouldn't soften its strict no-gays membership policy, and dismissed the idea of bending the organization to the whims of "popular culture."

As Peter Sellers in "The Pink Panther" said, "Not for much longer."

Smoking is bad
Drinking is bad
Drugs are bad
Pedophilia is bad
Adultery is bad
Polygamy is bad
Incest is bad
Doggie sex is bad
Gay butt sexing is bad

"But it feels good."

Whats next? I guess the pedophiles and people into beastiality want their rights and acceptance too because they were "born this way" this country is going down the toilet

Well, go over to the "Russia moves to enact anti-gay law nationwide" and read the links provided by the registered user 'Israel land of vampires' and the links provided. Post #923 to be exact.
Un-freaking believable what is going on in this nation and the things some people get away with.

maine is suportive of queers so keep them as your scout masters if you wish!putting a queer scout master over little boys is like putting a fox in the hen house and telling him not to eat chicken?

I agree gays should NOT be allowed as members of the BSA. As scouts we are taught to be morally straight and to me and many others homosexuality is not moral at all. I believe that allowing gays will devalue the scouting expierence.

To me, hate is not moral at all.

To me, condemning your neighbor for the way he/she was born is NOT loving your neighbor.

To me, and to Biblical scholars, discriminating on the basis of sexuality if NOT Christian.

"the Bible supplies no basis for the condemnation of homosexuality."

Using the studies of Yale historian John Boswell (Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe, LJ 7/94), New Testament seminary professor L. William Countryman, and others, Helminiak examines the story of Sodom (where the sin was inhospitality), Jude's decrying sex with angels, and five texts-Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13, Romans 1:27, I Corinthians 6:9, and I Timothy 1:10-all of which, he concludes, "are concerned with something other than homogenital activity itself."

“Scholars…maintain that the supposedly antihomosexual passages are NOT blanket CONDEMNATIONSof homosexual persons and acts.

“Indeed, in some cases, these verses aren't about homosexuality at all; they meant quite different things to those for whom they were first written, peoples whose social conceptions of sexuality were vastly different from ours.

“…historical biblical scholarship holds that these believers' conception of inerrancy is naively based, for English versions of the originally Hebrew and Greek scriptures are rife with problematic translations.

If you gay sluts want to be in scouts start your own organization and quit crying like a bus load of girls with a mice running up their legs. Scouts don't want you and neither does the military. Put you dresses on and go shopping or something.

I look at it this way, if the catholic church can allow gay priests to keep cornholing kids the why can't the scouts do the same?
