Exposed or silenced?

The decision by the Boy Scouts of America to remain as they have been since their inception, that being without having gays as members or leaders, seems to have made them (Boy Scouts) bigots.

Is it not telling when those that demand acceptance and tolerance will not allow those that oppose their way of life/views, their beliefs. Instead they are demonized and called anti- this or that.

The Boy Scouts has done wonders with so many young men, they have produced great men and leaders. To my knowledge, they do not show any hatred toward gays, etc.

In these times when there is P.C., when our young children are stalked on the streets, etc., by those who wish to molest them, when in schools our children must be taught that a lifestyle that is not human is acceptable, when in the military now the gay lifestyle is celebrated, when there is so much turmoil throughout the world, can we not in good faith allow these young boys and young men to have their "boy" time?

The gay agenda is not about being tolerated, it (is) about converting our young to their way of lifestyle and thinking. Period.

Being gay is a choice.

For many years, we have had those that throw about the words racist, anti-Semitic, etc. These words are used not to expose, but to silence. Who wants to be so-labeled?

We should be supporting these young men in every way possible.

One does not have to be of faith to know that lying with the same sex is abnormal and perverted. We should pray for the gays, but please do not force them upon those who are innocent and who have time in their later years to decide which lifestyle they shall chose.
