Boy Scouts vote to lift ban on gay youth
May 23 2013

GRAPEVINE, Texas -- The Boy Scouts of America voted
Thursday to end its controversial policy banning gay
kids and teens from joining one of the nation's most
popular youth organizations, ditching membership
guidelines that had roiled the group in recent years.
Over 61 percent of Scouting's National Council of 1,400
delegates from across the country voted to lift the ban,
BSA officials said. The final tally was 757 yes votes,
to 475 no.

It's about ****ing time!

Next step is to allow atheists. Until that day, the Boy Scouts are
still
a bigoted organization.

It's so the perverts/paedos of America can get better access to
potential victims.

Nope. They already had that access. Now the rules will be more
strictly enforced, and that will mean fewer straight pedophiles in
Scouting.



Ironic that by definition an individual attracted to someone of the same
sex is NOT "straight".
But hey, let's not let little details like that get in the way.

OK, what's your definition of men who sexually abuse prepubescent and
young pubescent boys preferentially, who otherwise are heterosexual (i.e.
don't have or want to have sex with sexually mature men), and are almost
always married to women?


Pedophiles is the term I use.
And Just like rape, it's not really about the sex. It's about power and
control
And many will marry women as camouflage


Gay men are not attracted to prepubescent and pubescent boys at a greater
rate than are, let's say, otherwise straight men.


Agreed
Pedophilia is generally not about being straight or gay.
It's about having control over someone who is not able to stand up to you.



Or are you sexually attracted to members of the opposite sex no matter how
young they are?

Sexual attraction starts with puberty
Before then the great majority of kids are pretty asexual, unless they are
socialized to be otherwise
Case in point little girls participating in beauty pageants when they can
barely walk.
(That's a perversion in my mind equal to pedophilia)
