And yet you keep getting it wrong. You have called, among others, Ikari and Jamesrage liberal. You have no idea how hilarious that is.

Ikari is no Conservative and I am not sure about James.....I have known him long before you even knew about DP and he confuses me all the time.....He is exactly the kind of person that helped reelect Barrack Hussein Obama and I can not forgive him for that. If I had to guess I believe he is one of those Ron Paul people.............

What is an "openly gay" camp? And why would there be a camp for children that is sexually oriented to begin with?

Unless it is a religious camp for alter boys, I can't even imagine such a place.

But if, hypothetically, there is such a camp, as long as dudes weren't walking around suckin' face, or heterosexuals for that matter, and the camp was safe and fun, I see no reason why people of alternate sexual persuasions should be excluded. They are a part of everyday society. Why shield our children from such harmless realities?

I'm sure at this same camp, there will be a small percentage of people of all walks of life. Libbos, nutters, wingnuts, gays, blacks, whites, latinos. A proportional cross section of modern society. That may be a good place to bring the children together at an early age to teach them tolerance and acceptance of others. But I have no credentials to make such a declaration.

Now if it was a KKK summer camp, maybe not so much a cross section of society. I'm sure no gays or blacks or jews or latinos would be at that camp. I definitely wouldn't let my kids go to that camp.

Were you at a gay "group dance event"? If not, I think you're exaggerating a bit.

No, just going by what the mom told me.

I might have been misunderstood. Nothing improper would take place DURING rehearsals or recitals. It was during down time when kids got together outside of official events but of the same kids from the various dance teams.

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.

No. Places like that are perfect hot spots for pedophiles, and the fact that an openly gay man is working there would be the perfect thing to take attention off of the predator.

What a bowl of BS.

Not everbody is made by a cookie cutter. I am socially liberal and fiscally conservative so I don't fit either cookie cutter.

Only babbling sheep walk lock step with one party.

I havent read all the posts in this thread but did anybody that say no have a logic reason, concern for saying no?

Like some scenario in their head?

I'm thinking that someone, whom's name shall go unmentioned, may have had a tramatic experience in their youth. Perhaps at a church retreat or on a ship.

I am puzzled as to their motivation and intolerance and never ending war on gays. It is an obsession.

It has to be because of some past trauma.

Typically, I would think the individual is fighting their own homosexual tendancies by overcompensating in voicing their disdain. But I am not sure as to their motivation. But it is rather queer.

well we may never know BUT there are many documented cases of gay bashers and bigots being gay themselves
 
Re: Would you allow your son to go to camp where there were openly gay members? [W:19

I've been thinking about this, and came to the answer No. My reasoning is influence. I don't want my son to be influenced by actions that I don't approve of and are against my religion. So, while I wouldn't send him to a camp run by someone that is homosexual, I also wouldn't send him to a camp run by an adulterer, a liar, a thief, an alcoholic or anything else I find objectionable.

That is well known. That's why I wonder. Not that it matters. But it is rather curious, no?

I have no problem with gays......I want them to have equal rights which I believe can be easily accomplished with civil unions........again as far as the BS goes I would not let me 11 year old attend a camp with openly gay boys or and openly gay scoutmaster..........We should know a lot tomorrow....

Do you think a person like that would be accepted as a scoutmaster or scout?

Well, I have to admit, I would prefer my son to learn how to build a Pinewood Derby car more than how to bake a souffle.

Are you suggesting the scout master would be orienting his troop to matters of sexuality? Is that what the Boy scouts are for? I don't think so my rightwing friend.

I know you're not afraid that the Scout Master would try to molest the kids, are you?

I mean, you being Catholic and all. I can't imagine you sending your kids to mass if things like that concerned you. The Catholic Church has a much more history of pedophilia and homosexual activity than the scouts. I don't see you bashing the church.

How exactly would a homosexual influence your child?

It's a good thing God didn't think the same way and just keep his Son up in Heaven with Him.

With all the scoutmasters there are in the US, I bet a few already have been.

Okay, let's put this in perspective.

Are there more gay Scout Masters than gay Priests? No. I highly doubt it.

Would you let your kids join a scout troop with a gay Scout Master? No.

Yet, you would let your kids attend mass?

It's kind of confusing how some people think.

so is your plan to keep him locked in his room forever?
if you are parenting properly he should be influenced by mere presence.
