Dear sirs, I would like to ask a very simple question. Where in the scout oath or law does it state that "A Scout is strait."? Where in any of scoutings basic principles does it imply that a scout may not be a homosexual? I myself am not a Homosexual and have no desire to engage in homosexual practices. On the other hand I have met several Homosexuals, both male and female, and it was not until I was told that they were homosexuals that I had any Idea. Just because a person is a Homosexual does not mean they are evil or out to convert the world. If a gentleman is a gifted leader and the best scoutmaster you have ever seen. How does the fact that he is Gay change his Ability's? Does he stop being a good leader? Does he no longer teach scouting principles? Many of you may argue that if they are gay they will Molest their scouts. This is just plain stupid... I have met people who are perfectly straight, and still molest scouts. I would chalenge any of you shortsited narrowminded idiots who feel that I am wrong to respond with PROOF. Not speculations feelings or ideas, PROOF. Yours in Scouting J. HOMER Eagle Scout '91
