I would never have allowed my son to join the BSA if there had been a gay troop leader.
It is BS that these organizations constantly feel forced to change heir beliefs because the intolerant Liberal left doesn't want anyone thinking for themselves or holding on to their religious beliefs and/or moral values.
The BSA harms no one, it is a private organization and people who don't like their policies don't have to join. This idea that homosexuals should be able to force themselves into any/all groups, is itself intolerant. They're all hypocrites who want tolerance for themselves, but extend none to private individuals/groups who disagree with them.
Better to be alone in your beliefs, then abandon them for acceptance.
Boy Scouts not good business anymore?

The Boy Scouts of America are learning, expensively, that they shouldn't depend on a few "major donors." Suddenly those businessmen have decided that the Boy Scouts aren't good business. And that's why they're even thinking of letting in openly gay boys and adult leaders.
What would Lord Baden-Powell think of this? I'll tell you what: he'd say, "You should never have gone toadying to large 'limiteds,' hat in hand, and making a commercial pitch. I gave you a good idea. Money follows the idea. That should have been enough. And now it jolly well will have to be."
And he'd have evidence. The Canadian Scouts tried the "accommodation" approach. Now they've lost fifty percent of their members and had to close campgrounds and council offices and lay off staff.
And a Silver Beaver award-winning 30-year veteran adult Scouter now says that he, and many other Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters, will leave if the National Executive Council casts aside more than a century of tradition, doctrine and practice.
And: there are places that boys and adult volunteers can go. Here's one.
So what say you? If the Boy Scout Exec Council decides to let in the gays, what will you do? Stay? Leave?

Grace to you, Glory to God!
If I had been a major donor to them, I would ask that my gifts be returned.
If they don't want to let gay people in, it is their choice. If you don't like it... To damn bad. Get over it already. Go create your own group and let in whoever the hell you want.

"...advocacy organization in the United States that works to abolish age of consent laws criminalizing adult sexual involvement with minors..."
Really? That is an acceptable thing?
It's time the organization bowed up, kicked out the closet homos and flakes, and declare that they are going back to being a cultural outpost of the Old Republic. Hold the door open for anybody who wants to leave. There will be other donors to replace the big donors. If not, and the organization folds, then it will be yet another witness and damning indictment against Omerica.
Maybe it's better for everyone if the scouts just have a hard and fast rule:
Fewer questions when this kid commits suicide, right?
Look around. Look at these Christians. Look at how hatefully intolerant they are. The scouts are claiming to be a subset of them. That's just how it is. They are having an existential crisis about the possibility of admitting gays, and their lead option is "cease to exist".
I'm not bothered by the idea of an organization admitting that it is so hatefully intolerant at it's core that it would rather not exist than evolve past that hateful intolerance, particularly if that revelation speeds the process by which that organization no longer exists.
If I had a gay kid, I wouldn't want him to hang out with those people anyway.
I mean, really. A bunch of gay dudes who want to take a bunch of young guys who might be right at the threshold of even recognizing that they might be gay into the woods?
C'mon, now.
If it was the other way around... Where it was straight boys/men trying to get into a private organization that had standards that you had to be gay to get into... would there be the same uproar?
