I heard about one gay kid they denied, he joined a Karate class instead and then beat the hell out of some boy scouts.

Hate and bigotry do not belong in this world, especially when targeted at children. Keeping children out of scouting because they are different in one way than other children would be like voting to keep them out because they use a wheelchair to get around, or because they are too short, or because they were born in another country…

Your child goes to school with gay students… he is protected by gay police officers and gay soldiers, airmen, sailors, marines. His doctors. nurses, pharmacists are gay, or will be one day. Are you keeping your child at home. never allowed at school, to a hospital, or to a store?

My three chidlren are straight but will their children be? And surprise – your son will likely have a gay relative, since gay people are born and raised by straight people… It may be his child and your grandson that is gay. Your son may too young for you to know his sexual orientation.

PROVE IT! You damn well better have some solid evidence, because if you don't, Zach Wahls can sue you for slander!

This douchebag should keep his opinions to himself. They win one battle over gay marriage and think they've got to impose themselves into other organizations. Put the gays in the girl scouts where they belong! My boy will never join the boyscouts if this passes!

Here’s our recent interview with Zach Wahls, founder of “Scouts for Equality,” talking about why he felt that including all people in scouting was an important and necessary step for the Boy Scouts of America to make:
