Gay Boy Scouts of America?

[peacetraveler22]

A few weeks ago I went fishing with my family in a small country town close to DC. The purpose was not to catch dinner, but to offer a day of fun for my young nephew. At the small pond we visited there were a lot of boy scouts on a day excursion. I'm sure most of you are familiar with this organization, which started in 1910. The Boys Scouts of America provides programs for young boys that help develop personal character, community involvement and physical activity through outdoor events such as camping and fishing. I'm not sure if there is a similar organization in Russia?

More recently the organization is in the news because of its prohibition on gay scouts and leaders. Just today over 1,400 local leaders convened for a two day meeting where they will vote on whether to allow openly gay boys in the scouting movement. Of course, there also is constant debate on whether the organization should permit openly gay men to be Scout Leaders. However, this is not on the ballot at the current meeting.

Anyone who reads me on a regular basis can certainly guess my opinion on the issue. What do you think? Is it okay to have openly gay boy scouts and leaders? The organization is based in Irving, Texas, probably the most right-winged and conservative State in America. I doubt the ban will be lifted, but it's good food for thought.

I`m a man, my wife is a women, (not male or famale), we aren`t animals. I got 3 kids. For my opinion, it`s crasy tolerants to faggots, I don`t undestend. I don`t use g.a.y., they aren`t good for me. I guess only place for them. something like "Blue oister" bar in dirty uptown from US great old comedy "Police academy". And I`m happy that faggots parades prohibited in my coutry.
We had vacatian in Dubai last year, great country, you can find open faggot in only place - the prison, very good. I realy like arabs way of democrasy. All rights only for locals, it`s practicly imposible to get cityzenship for alians, imigrants devided in two parts, 1 who got sallery, and the 2 wages. I met Americans in there, British, a lot of Russians, they all happy to live in Dubai, They don`t warry about thear kids. No criminals, no drugs, no faggots, great!
It was realy pity after Dubai, they have petrol, and we Russian not.
It`s my personal opinion, 3 kids.

We disagree on this issue! Personally I could never live in most Arab countries where women have absolutely no identity and are treated as second class citizens, especially those countries which require full burqas.
