and not be considered child molesters?
I was really floored by a comment below re: boy scouts
I think their policy is an attempt at protecting the children from anyone who may be a sexual predator. A gay man taking boys on camping trips could be a recipe for disaster. Just saying.
Seriously? People really think that out loud?

Re: Can gay men spend time with children
I missed that comment. I have lots of gay guy friends and that thought would never cross my mind. Just b/c they are gay doesn't mean they're perverts or molesters.

And its that sort of thinking that keeps us from supporting the boy scouts.
To think that I used to sort of like her. ugh.
But to what auntie said in her comments in that same post, they do a lot for the community and thats the only reason they're getting my 40 bucks.
This.
Oh Jesus.
Comments like that really bother me - when my parents divorced, my mom's best friends were two gay men who used to pick me and my brothers up from school when she couldn't. They are like uncles to us, and it irritates the crap out of me that anyone would think that a gay man would be more likely to be a child molester/predator than any other person.
The fact is - people who sexually abuse children are sick individuals - gay or straight - it has nothing to do with their sexuality.
Guys, it was my comment in the post below. I'm not against gays in the boy scouts, but I WAS wondering IF that is the reason they are against gay men being leaders, hence my question/statement.
Don't get your panties in a wad and call me something that I am not.. which is ignorant or biased. It is just a theory.
Thank you for your time.
