I swear. And believe me...I can so swear. While I will refrain from the actual words, please know Boy Scouts of America that I've got a ton of cuss words coming your way. Really? You chose to have a "secret meeting" for the past few years and whomever was in that secret group came up with the brilliant idea that gay boys have no place in the Boy Scouts?
Overall, I don't have a problem with either the Boy or Girl Scouts. I think that the leadership skills they can create can be amazing. What is so utterly not amazing is when an entire group of budding leaders are excluded because of sexual orientation. And the reason? Because you grown ups are scared. That's it. Bottom line. You are scared. And for nothing. You are turning your back on young boys who have the potential to be leaders. And make no mistake about it...they will become leaders. Your narrow-minded condemnation will not stop them. In fact, my guess is some of these young boys that you have just shunned will be the very ones who enact the future change that is so sadly lacking these days.
