Let’s talk about the Boy scouts , et al. Any group or organization that is public can determine their membership qualifications. If these qualifications, after listing their qualifications for years can discriminate against potential members who through an act of birth then this organization is bound for the downfall of the self-righteous. Gaiety has no basis in the “assumption” of a life style by choice. It is a condition (for lack of a better description) that exists from conception and comes to fruition at various times of life due to peerages and work pressures. In modern times (2000’s) the pressures have been all but eliminated as most rational people accept and understand that the world is composed of multiple ethnicities, life styles, races and personal preferences. the BSA organization in spite of having “gay” scout masters and possibly members has recently removed the denial of “gays” in scouting. Being gay has nothing to do with a love of the outdoors and other scouting activities. This is about as ridiculous as the controversy and conversations about gays and women in the military. A life has value in what ever career one choses as long as that career contributes to society as a whole in taxes paid , products and ideas produced. These deeds have nothing to do with personal choices. These are the acts of primarily everyday people doing what they want and what is required by a normal society. Paraphrasing a line from a comedy show “THERE is nothing wrong with that”.
