I'm going to keep it short and sweet today. Hooray for Christopher Baker, who returned his Eagle Scout medal, his way of protesting the Boy Scout's of America's anti-gay position. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/eagle-scouts-return-medals-over-organization-anti-gay-184508093.html Boo-hiss to the Boy Scouts hierarchy for refusing to allow gays to act as leaders or to be members of the Boy Scouts.
Here's a long article on whether or not there is a connection between homosexuality and child molestation. http://psychology.ucdavis.edu/rainbow/html/facts_molestation.html The article freely admits that studies on this topic are hard to conduct. So, forget studies. Just ask yourself, do you really think a gay man is any more interested in pedophilia than a heterosexual man? During my twenty five years at the welfare board, I ran across a handful of child molesters. Those jokers were all married to women - at least before they got caught and went to jail.
I suggest that the Boy Scout organization ask themselves a question. Does the ban on homosexual members and leaders really exclude them? Isn't it possible that there are gay people in the organization right now who are so closeted that no one knows their secret? It's about time the Boy Scouts dropped their homophobic stance. Otherwise, they might as well award badges for bigotry.
An aside: Two snaps up for the mayor of Boston who told Chick-fil-A to take a hike.
