Locally the United Way is refusing to fund Boy Scout chapters for the poorest segment of the community because Boy Scouts refuse to become "politically correct". It's a very sad commentary about the gay community that they will steal a boy's opportunity to become involved with a great organization like the Boy Scouts. If I recall correctly, no Eagle Scout has ever gone to prison. I mean nothing against gay people by pointing out the fact that the Scouts have high moral standards; the exact opposite of what is often openly displayed in Gay "Pride" Parades.

By most accounts you are born gay. In fact, as an aside, a doctor friend of mine says some men and women have the genetic makeup of the opposite sex. Meaning you have a man in a womans body and vice versa. How can that be a sin, oh I know, it's an abomination. But I digress, that's not being gay.
Tommy I don't know what you are talking about. And I don't know why you pick on the scouts. Pick on the Catholic church, their priests have a long history of abusing boys, girls and followers.
