I would say, to the contrary, that it teaches them bigotry,
intolerance, and
*hatred towards gays.


You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Not once have I
ever heard
anyone in my troop or at the local level make any sort of derogatory
remarks
about gays. In fact, the young men in MY troop are quite liberal, in
these
terms, as are the adults who volunteer with it.

You'd be rather surprised at just how open-minded and liberal many of
the
scouts and adults are in this organization.

In MY troop, I don't care if a kid is gay. None of my business. I'm
only
concerned with preparing them for what lie ahead in their life. And
that, I'm sorry to say, includes ensuring they don't turn out like you
-
to wit, stupid.

Isn't it interesting how YOU epitomize bigotry, yet decry it in the
same
breath. Kettle, meet Pot.

Idiot.
