Gay Scout Debate
by Dave Wilson on Jun.15, 2003, under Uncategorized
Another story involving the Boy Scouts of America’s attitude towards openly gay members appeared in the
Austin American-Statesman this week. As a youngster, I was a member of both the Cubs and Scouts in the UK and, as far as I can remember, there is nothing in the program which relies upon heterosexuality. Come to that, when I started at the age of 6, sexuality was a completely alien concept. Why, all of a sudden, therefore, has it become important?
I would hope that the Boy Scouts of America would expell anyone shown to be a real threat to children, regardless of that person’s sexuality. No doubt they would argue that any homosexual is a moral threat to the boys in the organisation (a view I disagree with) but, assuming this is the case, why am I not reading more stories about adulterers and cheats being expelled?
