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

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

History of the Boy Scouts of America (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The Boy Scouts of America's (BSA) National Council has voted in favor of a resolution to allow openly gay boys to join the organization .  Sixty percent of the 1400 delegates present at the Scouts annual meeting in Dallas, Texas voted in favor of the policy change. The resolution states that “no youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone.”  A ban on openly homosexual Scout leaders remains in place.   The change comes despite a survey by the BSA,  which found  that of 200,000 respondents, 61 percent supported the previous policy. In a statement announcing the vote, the scouting organization said that while “people have different opinions about this policy, we can all agree that kids are better off when they are in Scouting .”  Debate over the change has been contentious, with some predicting that the issue could fragment the sc

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) As the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) prepare to vote Thursday on whether to allow openly homosexual members, thousands of current and former scouts and dozens of religious leaders are urging the organization to stand up to “intimidation” by gay activists and stay true to its roots. Nearly 19,000 scouts, former scouts, and members of scouting families signed a petition to the BSA, urging the group to “uphold the values that have defined the organization for over 100 years.” “The Boy Scouts should once again stand firm on moral principles that have successfully shaped our nation’s boys into leaders for generations,” said Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) spokesman David Cortman, whose group delivered the petition to the BSA. “This is the expressed desire of thousands of Scouts and their families who have signed this petition. The Constitution protects the Boy Scouts’ freedom to promote the values that

History of the Boy Scouts of America (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Meeting Thursday in Grapevine, Texas , the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America will decide whether it will retain or revise its historic membership policy on the issue of homosexuality . The 1,400 voting members of the B.S.A. National Council hold the future of one of America ’s most iconic organizations in their hands. In reality, they are not only deciding a matter of membership policy. They are actually deciding the future of the entire organization. The culture wars came to the Boy Scouts many years ago. For the last few decades, the Boy Scouts have had to fight battles with both secularists and homosexual activists. The secular challenge came first, with demands that the Scouts drop their historic requirement that boys affirm belief in God as a criterion for membership. Soon thereafter, the demand for the full inclusion of homosexual members and leaders followed. The Scouts have had to fight legal
