Of course, because you've entered backwards world. Or.. maybe there are just not as many bigots as you thought. Navy, how many people pull their kids out of public schools because of open gays? Virtually none. Same with camp. Maybe 5% of people are worried about catching the gay, but 5% of people will believe absolutely anything so that doesn't really count.

Gee thanks for the advice. Im pretty sure there are plenty of men in the military who dont LIKE other men looking at their junk in a sexual way.

You mean to say that men who take a peek at my willy might be motivated by sexual desire, rather than envy? I had no idea.

If it is indisputable, you should be able to show some actual evidence. You have failed to do so. I wonder why.

Or just as likely, you are not a part of mainstream America on this issue.

Again, a man abusing a boy doesn't not necessarily mean the man is gay.

Why do we have a mens restroom and a womens rest room? The lines have become so crossed and skewed that the reasons dont really matter anymore. It used to be that they were seperated so the guy cant get a peek and the girl and vice versa. Only now, the gay guy can go into the mens restroom and take peeks all he wants. Frankly it makes me uncomfortable to be in a restroom with a gay guy for that very reason. I feel the same way about sending my son to scout camp with a gay scout or scout leader because i dont want my son having to worry about sexual advances from another man. I wouldnt let my daughter go sleep in a tent with a straight boy for the same reason, makes perfect sense to me. As far as gays in scouting, i see no reason why they should be banned, but i also see no problem with them forming their own troops.

How are you hurt by somebody looking at you?

Most of the posters here are above average...
A "mainstream" poll about these things does not exist..
Mainstream, IMO - look but do not touch - "looking", by all, is a fact of life....and thinking cannot be controlled.

What's the difference between camp and school? You know, one can catch the gay in math as easily as at a bonefire with marshmellows.

I don't think the priests are guy when they molest boys.

People protect their daughters and tell them to say something if they are touched. People don't do the same with boys.

It is just that boys are available and girls are not. At that young age there isn't much difference between the two.

I would says the sleeping and the private area inside the tents.
 
Re: Would you allow your son to go to camp where there were openly gay members? [W:19

Naval....so you are saying that the poll results are 180 off from what you believe...re: homosexuals at camp...
Any proof, any legitimate poll ?
Legitimate is the key word.
As I say, anyone can look all day, but no touch.!!....

No not on this particular subject I don't have a poll but when I check other polls on different topics they are alway different in the ones here.

That is not the point.

The question was asked what the difference is.

Yes it is more likely something will happen between two campers in a tent rather than in a math class.

Do you not see that?

Should an openly gay 8 year old boy, if there is such a thing, be allowed to join the girl scouts?

Presuming there is no attack, I don't see the difference. Presuming there will be an attack is silly.

Nobody is presuming anything.

Have you ever been to an overnight camp?

Things happen all the time between the campers.

No but they do take communal showers after sport together. kids go into offices with teachers all the time. Somehow those female teachers manage to hook-up with underage students. Priests don't camp-out with the kids they molest... you make a weak argument for the difference between camping in a scout troop vs most places where children are molested.

Navy have you ever been on a camp-out or jamboree? The Scouting trips I attended the adults slept in separate tents and the kids were two to a pop-up tent. it isn't a mass cuddle in some tent... :roll:

If the gay kid is older then the boy then he might be intimidated by his peer.......
