Because you don't agree its untrue but as usual on most of your posts your bias attitude is wrong and we did have black scouts and there was know problem with it.................Oh and I joined the Navy in 1956 and we had black sailors and no one had a problem with it...............Again you leftys like to pit the classes against one another but in thi case you are flat wrong.
LOL...exactly my point NP...Thank you for proving it once again. You are perfectly fine sending your child to a camp where "Straight" "Married" closed homosexuals are....but freak out at the prospect of an honest gay person. Its called paranoia for a false sense of security.
I have to say I'd be shocked if parents are actively describing things in this way. More likely, parents are broadening their "warnings" to their children about not going anywhere with strangers, not letting anyone touch you where you don't want to be touched, etc. etc. - I can't imagine that a parent portrays "gay people as predators and alien creatures not to be trusted". That just sounds like a bunch of liberal hate nonsense directed at parents who disagree with you.
Oh my bad...I guess that whole segregation thing and battle over civil rights is just liberal proproganda.
You do know I'm not saying you personally in regards to being prejudiced to blacks.
I would rather there be openly gay members than closeted gay members, either way, I'm pretty sure my son isn't going to catch it.
That is your opinion and I don't agree with it...I would never put my children in a situation that might be uncomfortable with to prove a left wwing ridiculous point.
No doubt.
However, this thread is specifically about sending boys to camp where there are openly gay counselors. And comments here are pretty specific about the "influence" and "impact" of "that kind of behavior".
Chances are Navy....you have and you don't even know it. Which is exactly why honesty is ALWAYS a better route to take than relying on a false sense of security.
My views on that were provided in a previous post so I won't go into detail about it - suffice it to say that in my view there is no greater threat of a gay person being a peodophile than a straight person.
You just don't get it and never will....If I KNOW
there are opening gay scouts I would never send them............Its rather obvious tht if I did not know there were openly gay then it would not matter......
LOL....in other words, ignorance is bliss? Wow Navy...that is exactly the mistake that so many parents make.
I have no idea....In what possible way would a camp cater to the openly gay members too much? You think there gonna show gay porn every other day after swimming// And, what is to say that this cannot happen..???
Again that is your left wing opinion and you know what opinionss are like? Everyone has one.
Wow 67-13 pretty much along Conservative/Liberal beliefs.......I wonder how many of you lefties would feel the same way if their 11 year old faced the isue and you have to make the decision.....I think the poll would be much closer.

In the last 5 years we've made 12 injury-related trips to the ER. . .all bloody. Lots of blood - it's amazing how much kids manage to bleed.
And you know - one time at my Dad's church we were goofing off on the stairs and one kid fell down and went through the drywall - busted his nose . . . just as one example.
OH! (afterthought) that does remind me of some dude we use to know when I was 10 or so - he was a lot of fun to hang around with. We'd ham it up - he'd help my dad out around the church. Everyone loved him. . . and then one day for reasons unknown to us (kids) - we were told not to ever talk to him again. I don't know what he did - but he was suddenly unwelcome and I doubt that 'being gay' was one of the concerns.
as a 11 year old you would have a problem with your son deal with it. I always say I would not have my sons attend a girls camp or my daughters attend a boys camp where they had to sleep over night in small tents with the opposite sex...........sorry

Considering homosexuality isn't infectious, I don't know why it would matter.OK I reworded my post and I apologize if I offended anyone with my last poll.......I am and old country boy and sometimes the meaning is not what I meant....I really would like to know how the members of the forum feel about this issue.

I did not see it when I was in the BSA or the Navy...............A lot of blacks that I knew (and there were several in my department) said they joined the Navy for this and were happy with the way they were treated in fact we had a couple of Black CPOs in my deepartment.
I don't even know where you're coming from with these comments, esp. in response to me. But since you mention it, girls are at much greater risk when it comes to pedophilia. And yet, there is no discussion about "letting" girls have straight male teachers or counselors, etc.
