- Dear sirs,
- I would like to ask a very simple question. Where in the scout oath
- or law does it state that "A Scout is strait."?
- Where in any of scoutings basic principles does it imply that a scout
- may not be a homosexual?
- I myself am not a Homosexual and have no desire to engage in homosexual
- practices. On the other hand I have met several Homosexuals, both male
- and female, and it was not until I was told that they were homosexuals
- that I had any Idea.
- Just because a person is a Homosexual does not mean they are evil or out
- to convert the world.
- If a gentleman is a gifted leader and the best scoutmaster you have ever
- seen. How does the fact that he is Gay change his Ability's?
- Does he stop being a good leader? Does he no longer teach scouting principles?
- Many of you may argue that if they are gay they will Molest their scouts.
- This is just plain stupid...
- I have met people who are perfectly straight, and still molest scouts.
-
- I would chalenge any of you shortsited narrowminded idiots who feel that
- I am wrong to respond with PROOF. Not speculations feelings or ideas, PROOF.
-
- Yours in Scouting
