The Constitution trumps the Bi...It is exactly that! The Constitution trumps the Bible, as the Boy Scouts (Sea Scouts) taught me. The issues are not sex and love; the issues are gender and appearances (as in Hyacinth Bucket?) The Boy Scouts have no more a monopoly on being a boy than heterosexuals have on masculinity. It's fantasy -- which is what the BSA has become. We can do better by our boys by listening to them and responding to them. They don't give a flying nun about "homosexuality". They want to express their natural masculinity -- and that comes in more than one uniform style which, originally, was designed to make sailors and soldiers. We need more than that. We need engineers and scientists. One thing we did learn from the Scouts was that the BSA method was NOT good for the environment. We need a new environment in every respect that responds to boys' needs and desires. We're afraid of our own boys the way proper ladies are afraid of boys' language. We need to get used to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
