‘Be Prepared’: ‘Gay’ Men with Boy Scouts in Tents | Illinois Family Institute

This coming from a guy who as soon as he hears the words "gay" or "homosexual" thinks butt-sex.  To further borrow from Hemant, "I run into straight people all the time. I don’t immediately start considering which sexual positions are their favorites."

And exactly what evidence does Barber cite? None to be exact, because none exists that can back up claim.  Even the document he does cite, courtesy of Peter LaBarbera even states,

By the terms of Judge Wittmayer’s order, the names and contact information of persons identified as victims of sexual abuse and those that reported the abuse were redacted,,,.   

In other words this list does not contain verified or adjudicated cases:

The information in the IV files concerns allegations of child sexual abuse. In a number of the cases, the allegations were later substantiated by court proceedings. However, in a great many cases no such substantiation ever occurred. Consequently, the law firm of O’Donnell Clark and Crew LLP and any agent or representative thereof, make no representations or suggestions that any of the allegations in these files are in every case true. In fact, we are in no position to verify or attest to the truth of these allegations as they were compiled by the Boy Scouts of America. The incidents reported in these documents attest to notice of potential child abuse given to the Boy Scouts of America and its affiliates and their response to that notice.

These "cases" are only allegations from a 20 year period that predates mandated background check which began in 1993 with the National Child Protection Act.  A point the Hemant also points out, "I’ll state the obvious: Even if the BSA allowed in openly gay troop leaders, they would have to pass the same background checks and training courses as everyone else."

Other than massive schisms in their internal processing, I don't see how the christian right can call LGBT people 'horrible child molesters' in the same breath as they defend Josh Duggar. Especially since the evidence of the later seems substantial where as the former is speculative.

I said it was coming. Many of us did. Two years ago this week the Boy Scouts of America voted to welcome into its ranks “open and avowed” homosexuality (boy-on-boy sexual attraction and behavior), thereby disavowing the “morally straight” Scout Oath its members are sworn to uphold.

Shortly thereafter I warned, “In so doing, the [Boy Scouts of America (BSA)] effectively waived the only legal defense it once had to preclude openly homosexual Scout leaders and gender-confused girls from its ranks: religious and moral conviction. It’s only a matter of time until the BSA is forced to capitulate to sexual extremists’ political demands and allow homosexual adults – men who define their identity based upon carnal appetites for other males – to take your boys on overnight camping trips.”

It’s happened. On Thursday BSA President Robert Gates announced that the organization’s unconditional surrender to the homofascist left is forthcoming and that the BSA will soon invite men who have sex with males (MSM) to become troop leaders. “The status quo in our movement’s membership standards cannot be sustained,” Gates disingenuously claimed, indicating that to maintain the BSA’s century-old proscription on “out” homosexual men would spell “the end of us as a national movement.”
