I’m sorry you’ve gotten so upset about what I said. It’s the plain truth, though. The Boy Scouts of America discriminate against gays. I would not want my girls to be part of an organization that excludes people based on their sexual orientation, which is why I was relieved when I found out that the Girl Scouts specifically includes everyone, regardless of sexual orientation and religion, among other things. I’ve made it quite clear around here that I am a social liberal – see the blog name! The thing is, keeping gay men from being Boy Scout troop leaders implies that they think maybe there is an association between gays and pedophiles – which has been clearly shown to be not the case. That, and discrimination is just wrong, in my opinion.

I’m not cutting you down in any way. I’m simply stating the facts as I understand them and inviting you to refute them if I am wrong. If you can’t deal with that, then I think you’ve made the right decision in choosing to read other blogs.

Nope, not going to delete your comments. You posted pseudonymously on my personal web site, which I pay to run. Nobody’s going to look up your name on Google and find your comments here. I think taking your part of the discussion down at this point would undermine the overall discussion.

Thanks!
