Anti-gay policies contribute to unsafe environment

The Boy Scouts of America’s recently released “perversion files” make a mockery of the organization’s anti-gay policies. If the Boy Scouts had gay troop leaders over the years, those leaders might have protected the boys against pedophiles, for pedophilia and homosexuality are two different issues.

The Boy Scouts are not anti-gay. They just do not want men who live a homosexual lifestyle to be leaders and role models for the Scouts.

So in other words, they're anti-gay.
