Oh... That stinks.

I wanted to go to Six Flags...  

is this a american thing?i have never heard of this.  

Im in troop 223. Windermere Fl, we have like 25 scouts in our troop. Im a star scout going for eagle! Maybe you guys have met my troop before :O  

I do Boy Scouts. I like how all my friends that do it too are SOOOOOOOOO bad at cooking. The worst part is that that's what your going to be eating in a little.

Also I suck at swimming.  

Yuck, boy scouts. I don't think an organization based on "raising" youth should have such close religious affiliation and close minded ideals. Also, the anti-gay policy isn't something I support. Boy Scout opportunities were never something I wanted to be a part of.

All anti gay policy is on paper only if you know what i mean, im an atheist that just worked at camp. There were 3 gay staffers. And any other religion views come from the church the troop is based outta

Religion is basically optional. And sexuality is basically dont ask dont tell/ tell who you can trust.

Well, me being straight and all, I wouldn't want a gay kid getting any ideas when we're sleeping in a tent together on a camping trip. Just saying...  

You two are both prime examples of whats wrong with this ****ing nation. Don't ask, don't tell? Why do you want to opress people into hiding their sexuality. Thats ****ing ridiculous that you even suggest that there's nothing wrong with that. People should be open withthere sexuality.

Also, are you that ****ing stupid that you think a gay man will want to **** you just cause you're in a tent with him. That's like saying I shouldn't go camping with my friends who are girls because I'll **** them in their sleep. You are both idiots and should rethink the **** you're being fed.

Go climb philmont then we will talk, i have no issues with sexuality is, but the truth is that for everything out there there IS (no exeptions) someone that despises it. And to have a sucessful organization, the customer is always right. All people do is avoid telling the people who hate gays.
A non gay relig example is: i recently got into MTG and so i was setting up a camp wide unoffiial mtg fightclub/ tornement, well all that had to become staff only because the troop from the church of the laterday saints hates anything magical ex. Harrypotter and mtg.

And on a side note, thats not opressing. Thats neutrality.  

I was in it when I was in first grade I believe.

I have no problems with your first paragraph. People should have the right to be open about their sexuality. I may not agree with them being gay, but they are entitled to think what they are going to think.

If I am close friends with a gay kid and I am sleeping in a tent with him, I trust him. But there are some kids that I do not trust in the slightest. If they were gay, and very suspicious in my eyes, I wouldn't really trust them sleeping in a tent with it. I would try to avoid being in a tent with them regardless of there sexuality if they seemed suspicious to me. Just because I do not approve of your thinking doesn't mean I hate you. Just because I'm a Republican means I hate all my Liberal friends? No.

If you are friends with the girl you are camping with, no dip you're not going to **** her. What I mean is I don't want to be in a tent with some random gay kid that just joined my troop and I don't really know yet or trust. If you were a girl, would you want to go camping with some random creepy guy you don't know?

I am entitled to my opinion. If you disagree with it, which it seems very obvious you do, you have the right to think differently. If you've read all this stuff I've written, and you don't have anything more to say, could a mod please delete these posts, for they are off topic from what this thread was meant to be about.

The customer isn't always right when it involves oppressing a group of people. YES, it is oppression because people are not allowed to be open about who they are. Switch out sexuality with race. If black people weren't allowed to join the Boy Scouts it would be considered oppression but apparently when sexuality is the issue its the company pandering to the customer because "they are right".

P.S. Climbing a mountain does jack **** to any opinion and it obviously hasn't made you any more intelligent.
