Beware A
Severe Outbreak of Pedophilia!
Shock waves are running through churches and pastors across the country are
redrafting their Sunday Sermons.
The Boy Scouts of America, one of the nation's largest private
youth organizations, is actively considering an end to its decades-long policy
of banning gay scouts or scout leaders, according to scouting officials and
outsiders familiar with internal discussions.
If adopted by the organization's board of directors, it would
represent a profound change on an issue that has been highly controversial --
one that even went to the US Supreme Court. The new policy, now under
discussion, would eliminate the ban from the national organization's rules,
leaving local sponsoring organizations free to decide for themselves whether to
admit gay scouts.
It was a WTF moment with wailing, rending of garments, and gnashing of teeth
never seen since Biblical times. For some, it has taken a full 24 hours for the
shock to attach itself to reality, while others have been quick to respond:
American Family Association:
"You're
signing a death warrant when you say you're going to allow open homosexuals to
participate in a program with young boys."
Southern Baptist Convention:
"This
decision will lead to a mass exodus of traditional, orthodox Christianity from
Boy Scouts, including thousands of Catholic, Baptist and other traditional
faith congregations."
Americans for Truth About Homosexuality
("Porno Pete" Peter Labarbera):
"If you capitulate to the homosexual
lobby, you're capitulating to immorality; and you're not being 'morally
straight,' as the Boy Scout Creed says."
Family Research Council:
"If the Board capitulates to the bullying
of homosexual activists, the Boy Scouts' legacy of producing great leaders will
become yet another casualty of moral compromise."
