I'm not talking about children, so much as kids in their late teens. All of the gay people I've talked to knew they were gay by 16 or so. > if they want they can join the girl scouts that allows boys & gays > openly into there organization... Girl Scouts accept male adults, and boys in situations where not allowing them would be punitively exclusionary, i.e. in-school programs. Sexuality is not an issue. I can, of course, only speak for the council I've worked with (Wilderness Road, via my mother) but that's how it works there. > but boy scouts stress Family, Marriage as defined by a Man & woman. > i don't agree with every thing about the Org, but it did at one time > hold a very specials place in my hart. I'm not saying that they are inherently bad, or evil, or whatever. I simply think they are wrong to exclude gay men. Yes, they are a private org. This does not mean I can't disagree with their POV and recruitment policies. > My Aunt was before she passed the chief editor for Boy's Life magazine > for like 30+ years.. Actually, when I was a kind, I rather liked that magazine. I was a Cub Scout. Again, I'm not saying they are all bad by any means. I don't even particularly mind their take on religious issues, although I wish they were a bit less specific (for all that they are fairly non-specific already). I just strongly disagree with any sort of discrimination against the GBLT segment of society. --Ben Doom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion is delivering applications solutions at at top companies around the world in government.
