Boy Scouts of America : Goodbye, Farewell and Amen
Illinois Family Institute –
Laurie Higgins – 5/28/2013
Click the link above for an
honest look at Boy Scouts and Wayne Besen’s comments on the Boy Scouts’
decision.
This brings me to the Boy
Scouts new plan for cultivating moral straightness and honor for God: allowing
boys who publicly affirm homosexuality as central to their identity to join the
Scouts. No, this new policy does not allow openly homosexual adult leaders—yet.
But just wait another couple of years for that too.* The prohibition of openly homosexual
scout leaders doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell of remaining in place.
What possible justification can there be for retaining a prohibition of
homosexual leaders when the Scouts have necessarily declared homosexuality
normative and good?
And that’s precisely what’s
happened. This is not a neutral policy. Adopting a policy that permits boys who
openly affirm a homosexual identity to become members necessarily means that
the Boy Scouts Council had to have come to a prior conclusion that homosexual
acts are inherently moral. They couldn’t rationally conclude that homosexual
acts are immoral and then allow boys who publicly affirm a homosexual identity
to become members.
Further, this non-neutral
position contradicts the will of God. The Boy Scouts of America now
violate their own oath to honor God and cultivate “moral straightness,”
all in the service of currying favor with homosexual activists and corporate
donors who follow the edicts of homosexual activists like loyal lapdogs.
Parents, speak with your
words and your deeds. Remove your sons from the Boy Scouts. Send letters to
your local chapter leaders and the Boy Scouts Board explaining the reasons for
your decision. Actively support and participate in one of the various
alternatives that currently exist (see below) or are in the planning stages.
Former Scouts, stop contributing. Send your donations instead to one of the
following organizations:

Decision As Cowardly, Incoherent, And Mean-Spirited
