Posted by JayZeeBMT on Wed Jul 18 12:56:59 2012, in response to Re: NO GAYS in the Boy Scouts was confirmed this past Tuesday, posted by TERRapin station on Wed Jul 18 12:14:19 2012. Right off the top of my head, I can thinl of reasons why the Scouts' discrimjnation against gays is "necessarily" bad:It teaches young Scouts that being gay is so unacceptably wrong that no gay teen or adult may become a member. It shows teens who discover they are gay, that Scouting finds them unacceptable just because of who they are. It reinforces the ostracism they may already have experienced in their families, churches, or schools. It sends a direct message to society at large, that homophobia is a core value of Scouting. |
