U.S. Boy Scouts set to end ban on gay members : spokesperson | Reuters

(Reuters) - The Boy Scouts of America called to end a long-standing ban on openly gay members, a spokesman said on Friday, but the organization's board must still vote in May on whether to ratify the resolution.

If the vote is approved, "no youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone," Deron Smith, the organization's spokesman, told Reuters.

Smith noted that the decision drew from three months of research, surveys and discussions and was "among the most complex and challenging issues facing the BSA and society today."

The deliberations over whether to admit openly gay and lesbian members to the Boy Scouts has divided organizers, polarized its corporate and religious sponsors, and placed the group at the center of a nationwide debate over gay rights over the past two years.

THe gay community will rationalize it like.

(well only ten kids a year are getting their culos blasted as a result of the lifted ban. Most gay troop leaders are great people.)

:aicmon:

If someone made that argument, it would be terrible... so why are you making an exactly analogous argument in the gun control thread? It's just as much a garbage argument structure in that context as in this one.

i know right. I can't believe people would think some ignorant sh1t , like an increase in gay troop leaders might increase the number of children butt raped.

The audacity of these people.

Lets stay on topic the real. I understand we're all hyped and charged but lets keep it organized. Do you think, the ban should be lifted considering the history the gay community has had molesting kids in the boy scouts? You hvae to be fully aware that as a result of this, there will be kids that are going to be victimized by this decision right?

That is an incredibly stupid argument, but it's not the one I was referring to. I was referring to the argument that a small number of rapes was worth the legal change.
