GAY TRUTH

Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates IRVING, TX , May 27, 2014- Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who led the military to end Don't Ask, Don't Tell, says that he would have allowed homosexual leaders for Boy Scouts of America . Gates, who was  elected  to head the Boy Scouts of America ( BSA )  for a two-year term  last week, said that he "would have supported having gay Scoutmasters , but at the same time, I fully accept the decision that was democratically arrived at by 1,500 volunteers from across the entire country." A year ago, BSA allowed openly homosexual scouts for the first time. The policy  reads  that "No youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone.” The policy took effect on January 1, 2014. Gates, who said he "was prepared to go further than the decision that was made," declared in a public statement last week that he did not intend to reignite t

LOUISVILLE, KY ,  – The city council of Louisville has denied a request for funds to help Boy Scouts obtain merit badges, because the group allegedly “discriminates” by refusing to allow homosexual males to act as scoutmasters. Louisville Metro Council rejected a request from Councilwoman Cindi Fowler, D-14th District, to approve $640 in neighborhood development money so that Boy Scouts could earn their swimming badges after the county attorney said the Boy Scouts of America's (BSA) ban on homosexual scout leaders violates the city's anti-discrimination ordinance. The money would have expanded swimming opportunities an additional two hours on two nights for the scouts of Troop 51 at St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church, according to a  Courier-Journal  report. "With the heightened talk, attorneys in the civil division believe that they [BSA] do discriminate and...it is intentional discrimination," said County Attorney Mike O'Connell 's s

SEATTLE, WA , April 2, 2014  – The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) have removed a Seattle-area troop leader and banned him from the organization for going public with his homosexuality, in what is thought to be the first such case since the BSA  voted  to allow openly homosexual youth, but not adults, to join. Scoutmaster Geoff McGrath, 49, a former Eagle Scout and leader of Troop 98 in Rainier Beach, had his BSA membership revoked Monday after an  NBC News  reporter  contacted  the organization seeking comment for a profile the network was doing on “the first openly gay Scoutmaster in the nation.”  It turned out McGrath’s superiors had been unaware he was homosexual, although he had previously been ejected from the Scouts at age 22 after coming out to his troop leaders, is “married” to another man, and has been a vocal critic of BSA policies regarding homosexuals.  His brother and nephew even participated in a bike ride from Seattle to BSA headquarters in Denton, TX to p

ORLANDO, FL , March 3, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Walt Disney World has decided it will stop funding the local Boy Scouts of America chapter beginning next year unless the childhood group allows open homosexuals to serve as Scoutmasters . The Disney corporation said the BSA violates its non-discrimination policy. Disney World's VoluntEARS program allows employees to trade volunteer work for donations to a charity of their choice. But the scouts will no longer be eligible for these funds. Disney World's VoluntEARS program allows employees to trade volunteer work for donations to a charity of their choice. But the scouts will no longer be eligible for these funds. It is not clear how much money the amusement park provided to the scouts annually. However, that revenue stream may be available again if the scouts change their policy before January 1, 2015. Homosexual groups said the decision is a sign of their growing influence in the culture, especially in the r

ALTOONA, WI , August 8, 2013 ( LifeSiteNew s.com ) – A Catholic parish in Wisconsin has told the Boy Scout troop it has sponsored for the last 20 years that it will have to find a new home in response to the troop’s decision to allow practicing homosexuals to join. The Boy Scouts of America   voted in May  to overturn its longstanding policy barring openly gay scouts, and instead allowed troops to include gay scouts if they choose. Boy Scout Troop 90, which meets at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Altoona, revised its membership policy to state that no boy could be denied membership “on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone.” Scoutmaster Bob Thill told the  Eau Claire Leader-Telegram that while Troop 90’s families were evenly split on the issue, the troop changed the rule because “it's the way of the times, and I guess you've got to keep up with it.” But Fr. Derek Sakowski, St. Mary's pastor, said he objects to the policy’s use of the term “

Boy Scout leaders who bolted the organization after it voted to allow homosexual boys to join have announced that the new group they are founding will also allow boys who consider themselves gay to join – but the new group will emphasize chastity and “principles and values that reflect a Christian worldview .” John Stemberger, the founder of OnMyHonor.Net – one of the groups leading the formation of the new scouting group, has said, "There is not going to be any acting out, nor is there going to be a witch-hunt.” "We wouldn't expect any flaunting, innuendo, gestures or speech," he added. Adult leaders will be required to sign a statement affirming Christian beliefs . But some warn the new guidelines are not distinct enough to prevent moral confusion among impressionable young scouts. "I do not think it is wise for this new alternative to the Scouts to affirm that homosexual youths are allowed to join, even with the caveat that they won't be

May 23, 2013,  was a sad day for the Boy Scouts of America ( BSA ), and another tragic day for an America in decline. The Scouts’ corporate-driven leaders in their folly put sexual morality up for a vote, and when it was all over, the Scouts as we once knew them – a God-fearing, wholesome organization – were finished. Now, truly “ morally straight” organizations (to quote the  Scout Oath ) will rise up to compete with the corrupted BSA, and parents by the hundreds of thousands will migrate with their sons to these trustworthy alternatives. This was a completely unnecessary capitulation. The equivocating Scouts somehow managed to snatch defeat from their hard-won victory in the  Supreme Court in 2000  – which preserved the Scouts’ right to live by their own moral creed. Now they have eviscerated that creed, thus rewarding the very Homosexual lobby that tormented the BSA since its high court triumph. Pursuing godliness and virtue is not a democratic exercise but a walk of

Parents, scouting leaders and pastors are warning that yesterday’s  vote to allow openly gay youth to join the Boy Scouts of America (BSA)  is likely only the beginning of a much more fundamental transformation of the scouting organization. In a statement following the vote Jonathan Saenz, the president of Texas Values, the group behind the  Save Our Scouts  initiative, charged the BSA leadership with having “willingly opened the door to allow homosexual advocates to overrun an organization that stands for a code of morality that these intolerant advocates reject.”  “The BSA is a private organization, but it has chosen to place sex and politics above its timeless principles, and the BSA will ultimately fail because of this change,” he said. “We will next see aggressive attacks on any BSA units that dare to stand for God and religious liberty, as those that seek to change the BSA will not tolerate these current BSA principles, either.”  Tony Perkins , president of the  Fam
