Re: Dear Prudie's Irresponsible Advice to Philanthropicky
by Cooltruth

I don't think 'homophobia' has much to do with it. More like they would like for boy scouting to remain popular. How many boys' parents would enroll their son in a homosexual led scout troop? Considering boy scouts go on overnight camping trips, among other excursions, I don't think many parents would allow their sons to join with homosexual scout leaders. Boy scout decision makers have thought about this before making their decision to be heterosexual in nature. I doubt an individual scout mother would have much input in scout policies so going into a tirade about 'why' you refuse to buy boy scout items to help the troop would be a waste of time for both people. Must homosexuals join the boy scouts to go camping? NO, they can camp whenever they have the time & inclination to go camping. People who don't object to sending their sons camping with homosexuals can do that, except that it won't be boy scout camping.
