Look, attitudes toward homosexuals have evolved a lot as of late in this country.  Many people aren't quite comfortable with the extent of social change (esp on marriage), and you have to acknowledge their viewpoint even if you don't agree.  Moreover, the Scouts in rejecting homosexuals as scout leaders are perhaps being overly cautious so as to avoid getting caught up in the extent of problems that the Catholic church has had with predator priests.

Being overly cautious about what, though. Overly cautious about the safety of boys around homosexuals? Because they are more likely predators, hence the comparison to what you call "predator priests"? Do you understand how discriminatory that is?

And if parents aren't comfortable with gay leaders or fellow Scouts who are gay they can skip Scouting. Conversely, if a parent isn't comfortable with Boy Scouts having rules that prohibit involvement based on sexuality, then they can skip it, too. I think many who are involved don't agree with the latter, but continue because they pretend the national level is fully removed from the local level.[/quote]
