Post by Josh RosenbluthPost by El CastorThe Boy Scouts, a fine organization of which I was once a member,
has been forced into bankruptcy, and probably destroyed, by close
to 90,000 sexual abuse lawsuits.
Nov 16, 2020
"Close to 90,000 sexual abuse claims have been filed against the
Boy Scouts of America as the Monday deadline arrived for
submitting claims in the organizations bankruptcy case."

Interestingly, I did a search for sexual abuse lawsuits against
the Girl Scouts and found just one -- and the accused perp was
male.
As I have stated in the past, all of these abusers were in the
closet. So, a policy of not permitting gay scoutmasters would not
have helped.
I've never claimed that it would. What would have helped would have
been a method to identify Gay genetics in a zygote. Perhaps someday.
That would not justify keeping gays who are out of the closet from
being scoutmasters.
If the Boy Scouts wanted to survive as an organization it would have to
prevent gay men from becoming scoutmasters.
Apparently, you didn't follow that if the Scouts had done that, it would
have not helped because the abusers aren't known to be gay.
Post by El CastorDo you really think normal people would allow a gay man to be a mentor
to their sons?
Emphatically, yes (and gays are normal people)!
Gay men? Normal? Maybe in your world. Not mine.

And then there is a bit of a medical issue -- Syphillis, and other
sexually transmitted diseases ...
"Between 2017 and 2018, the number of reported primary and secondary
(P&S) cases in the United States increased by 14.4%, and there were
35,063 P&S syphilis cases reported in 2018. Most (64%) of these cases
were among MSM."

I've known and worked with both gay men and gay women. Gay women are
an entirely different story. The ones I've known have been fine
people. They don't advertise, flamboyantly dress up like gross
characterizations of men, or spread disease. Other than their sexual
preference, your description as normal would seem accurate.
Pete Buttigieg, Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen, Don Lemon, Neil Patrick
Harris, Nate Silver, Steve Kornacki, Jonathan Groff, Ricky Martin, Sam
Smith, Bob Harper, Jim Parsons, Sean Hayes, B. D. Wong, George Takei,
Ian McKellan.

Oh I don't doubt that there are fine gay men. The best man I ever
worked for was gay, but that doesn't negate the disease (need I
mention AIDS?), or the delight they take in a gross characterization
of women, the San Francisco bath houses, 100 sex partners a year,
molestation and destruction of Boy Scouts, molestation of Catholic
boys, NAMBLA, and the list goes on.
BTW -- that best man I ever worked for eventually lost his job because
he was living with his senior direct report -- a former priest who he
met in a seminary. And no, I'm not the one who informed on him.
I don't doubt the overwhelming majority of gay men are fine.
Oh? Then why do we see 90,000 sexual molestation lawsuits against the
Boy Scouts and why are Gay males, who make up 2% of the population,
responsible for 64% of US syphilis cases? Straight men have the Rotary
Club while many gay men bask in their NAMBLA and The Sisters of
Perpetual Indulgence. NAMBLA, which was headquartered in San
Francisco, has retreated into the shadows, not because of the outrage
of Gay men, but "to avoid local police infiltration". Gay opposition
to NAMBLA does exist, but it largely began in the Lesbian community --
women who objected to the molestation of children. Good for them!

The AIDS epidemic, when it began, just tore through San Francisco. San
Francisco "bath houses" were places where gay men congregated, not to
bathe, but to have sex -- often as many as 100 sex partners a year.
The city fathers were alarmed by the epidemic and wisely acted to shut
down the bath houses. You would think the Gay community would have
been supportive. They were not, for the most part they were outraged
and fought the order.
Many Gay men as individuals can be exemplary citizens, but as a group
... ouch!
