#1 We're rewriting our will, I think it's time to make a provision.

#2 Scouting is a wonderful organization and really helps our youth. When society doesn't seem to know about integrity and honor we need to support scouting more than ever, to help our youth.
It's not just gays, it would be for hetero guys too. Sad that our society has taken us to this neccesity of thinking. To not be alone with a young scout needing two adults is okay with me if that's what it takes.

#3 I don't think this is about anything other than finding a politically expedient excuse to raise rent that has been reduced since 1928.

Boy Scouts are a wonderful tradition. Too bad our elected officials - even at the city level - are just about taking our tax money and doling it out to their friends to get re-elected. It will be the end of our great country.

#4 The only reason homosexuals have targeted the Boy Scouts is that if homosexuals tried to start a similar organization, the purpose of soliciting young boys into a "club" they would be tarred and feathured.

So what they are doing is attempting to use cloak the dignity and decency established by the Boy Scouts of America, and saying they want to be leaders, as a wolf entering a sheeps pack, disguised as a lamb.

#5 When one looks at the tremendous good the Boy Scouts have done it give me complete nausea to see the anti-Christian RINOs defending this crap. The mentally ill liberals want to destroy this nation from the inside out. There is no excuse for defending their destructive goals.

This wasn't about rent nor government support of a fantastic institution. It is purely about gays not liking a group that doesn't approve of their fudge packing ways.

#6 Fudge packing is sinning, and if you think you can make light of sinning, just try crossing that dark river of death with a sin hanging on your neck. Bye, bye queer bates, hell awaits your arrival.

The scouts should get out of Philly.

#7 Steve White's comment was on the money. Almost without exception NGOs get hijacked by Leftwing activists.

#8 They are a private club and can have whatever rules they want. But there is no reason taxpayers should be made to pay for it.

An end to tax-breaks for religious institutions would be better.

#9 Perhaps so, but that isn't what is going on here.

Gay activists may be sincere in wanting to participate in Scouting -- the organization has a long and honorable history. I was a Scout and I had a blast. Men I know are Scout leaders and they love it. So I suppose that a gay man would sincerely want to help the community by helping out the young lads.

That isn't the issue here either.

This is part and parcel of the leftie agenda to control all NGOs and make them part of an over-arching organization that advances what is most dear to lefties. Organizations that can't be co-opted are targeted for destruction.

The Scouts won't allow gays because they fear the consequences if a gay pedophile gets his hooks into a young lad. The activists will use that concern to destroy Scouting if they can.
