"Applications for leadership and membership do not inquire into sexual orientation. However, an individual who declares himself to be a homosexual would not be permitted to join Scouting. All members in Scouting must affirm the values of the Scout Oath and Law, and all leaders must be able to model those values for youth. Scouting teaches both tolerance and clear moral values. Tolerance for all does not mean that all behavior must be accepted as appropriate for those in Scouting."
So I guess homosexuals arent setting good examples. What the fuck is that all about? You know why they state the above? Because of money!!! "...discrimination disclosure that the council has signed in order to qualify for United Way funds. "
All young mormon men are required to be scouts. Therefore, mormons have a majority interest in the organization, and occupy more than 50% of the board of directors. Reading betwen the lines, that means no gays allowed. I think you were wrong to say that Scouts is "publicly funded." Technically it is a charity that is privately funded. It does receive tax free status, which is a public burden, but strictly speaking it is not a government organization.
I'm a bass playing, bowhunting, husband and father, that enjoys gardening, his wife and life in Winnipeg. I am an IT guy by day, but wish I was a pastor (which I will one day be)
I also have another blog, TwistedChristian.ca where I write about life as a Christian that doesn't quite fit the standard mold.
