Five Good Reasons Why The Boy Scouts Ban Gays
Those nitwitted companies, charities and municipalities
out to punish the Boy Scouts of America for its ban on
homosexuals should take a good look at five of the good
reasons for the ban, as reported by the Rev. Louis P.
Sheldon, chairman of the Traditional Values Coalition
In April, a Canadian Scout leader was charged with
sexual touching and sexual exploitation for molesting two
boys under his care. This homosexual offered alcohol,
X-rated videos and condoms to the boys.
In February, John Levendosky, a former assistant Boy
Scout leader in Pennsylvania, was charged with endangering
the welfare of children and charged with assault for tying
two boys to a tree and cutting them. Police found
pornographic bondage magazines and sadomasochistic
paraphernalia in his home.
In January, William Elliott, a New York Scout leader,
was charged on 20 counts of molesting four boys.
In April, Keith Crumpton, a Mississippi Scout leader,
faced five counts of fondling a minor and traveling across
state lines to have sex with a boy. He molested three
young boys.
In April, an Annapolis Scout leader was arrested for
sexually abusing a 13-year-old Scout under his
supervision. Homosexual Matthew Showalter faces 20 years
in prison if convicted.
Says the Rev. Sheldon: "The list goes on, but the point
should be clear: Men with a 'sexual orientation' toward
other males - little boys, teenagers, or men - are quite
likely to act out their sexual desires when given the
chance. These cases demonstrate that there are already
NAMBLA homosexuals hiding out in the Boy Scouts of America
organization. We should not open the doors to more of
them. The ones who are caught are doing immense emotional
and physical damage to boys. The Scouts leadership is
correct to prohibit openly practicing homosexuals from
becoming leaders or members.
"Instead of punishing the Scouts for "discriminating"
against homosexuals, communities and groups like the
United Way should applaud the Boy Scouts leadership for
its efforts to protect boys from child molesters."
