no way! not unless they make sure ALL parents affected are made aware that their sons are going to be influenced by a gay leader. It may mean having 2 groups in the same location. one for those who are ok with a gay leader and one for those who are not. I certainly would NOT allow my child to attend with a gay leader. I also would not want my child taught in school by a gay teacher. I do not want my child being taught that the gay lifestyle is ACCEPTABLE because we do not feel it is morally or spiritually ok. Love the sinner but not the sin. I can accept a gay person as a person without accepting the lifestyle and those I know who are gay understand this. But young children are way too suggestible and cannot make these distinctions yet.

I have nothing to add that Marie didn't already say…. and she said it well… we will choose a different venue for our 5 boys if BSA changes the policy in May.

Wow the previous comments on this are absolutely amazing. Marie and Lori I wish if you could kindly clarify your comments with some sort of logical or empirical data to support the claims you have set forth I would be more then willing to listen to your close-minded theory on the subject.
I await your response…
