Another Piece Of The American Dream Gone.

Since when is homophobia a part of the American Dream?

Regrettably the American dream is largely restricted to straight white Americans and recently further restricted to people who are already half way up the ladder to success. The BSA are finally getting around to doing the right thing and it's about time.
 

It all depends on how those folks act. I have lived with gays in my life for years. Many just act like the rest of us and no big deal being around them.

But there are some, like that nutty mob around the San Francisco area, that have no justification for acting so nutty and irresponsible as they do. If they want to be so out of character for the community, then SF is the place to be. When they work they need to honor the employers rules about dress and manners. Those rules are for all of us, no exceptions.

I wonder if they'll let any of the Diaper Pail Kids serve as BSA leaders?

Yes... the people who were born on third base and are convinced they hit a triple.
 
this is true.. Adult gay males would be as horrified of the idea of sex with a little boy as adult straight males would be with idea of having sex with a little girl. Unless of course, both were pedophiles..

Exactly so. Far too many straights think that homosexuality means the same as paedophilia.
 
Oh boy,this one again. A few years back,when this was all over the news,a woman on my old forum (who also happened to be a scout leader,along with her husband) posted about how in favor she was about the BSA banning gays. I spoke up first,and then the barrage began. The woman (a long time member) ended up being Banned because she got so ugly. I think (hope) that most people know that being gay does not mean one is a peodophile,anymore than having brown hair does.....By the way,I go to San Francisco all the time,my niece lives there and is raising her kids there,and neither of us has any stories about gays being the least bit of a problem for us there....
 
I also fail to get the inference from one poster that somehow gays +weird clothes equals problems equals unfit to be scout leaders??? I am straight, and wear eccentric clothes, does that make me unfit to lead Girl Guides ? (Canadianyr version of Girl Scouts)? ?

My wife and her sister both lived in San Francisco. I had live in San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Jose, and met my wife in San Francisco. No problems from the gay crowd. We were more concerned with the unlawful bunch of non workers, hippies or some such name. Anyway, my observation now is the TV stories showing all the gays parading about in their ideas of parades in San Francisco. Certainly glad they are not that way where I have lived since leaving the Bay Area, Florida, Colorado, Arizona, for better housing and wages that met my needs. Should have stayed a few more years as my $14,750 house in San Jose rose up to about $400,000. I don't know how anyone can afford to move there anymore.

Nice climate there but lousy living. We still have family and friends living in various locations in the Bay Area and north of Golden Gate area. I just don't understand how some folks can move there when so many areas of the US sell nice homes in the $300,000 or less. Four years ago I bought 7 year old 4 br 2 ba home for just $105,000 south of Phoenix.

People can afford to live there because they earn ridiculous salaries. I know a girl who is a realtor there and has no work because there is no inventory. No one wants to sell because there is nowhere to move. We moved out 23 years ago but luckily kept real estate there so someday......no,we won`t move back-ever. But we`ll live happily ever after on the money...

Pedophiles can be gay, straight, or bisexual. It is a compulsion to have sex with children. Gays are no more likely to be sexual deviants than anyone else.

If you would please, define this term for me, that I may further understand this issue. imp

Do you mind? How far south of PHX? In the County? We built our house just east of 51st. Ave. 3 miles south of Baseline Rd. 1988. imp
 
"neither of us has any stories about gays being the least bit of a problem for us there...."

You can't say things like that!

Think of all the lovingly held preconceptions you are destroying!
 
Are the Boy Scouts still relevant? I know that this is off of topic but I don't know any young boys who join this organization anymore...
