If sodomy is against the law in every state in the union, even criminalized, why would we allow, encourage, and protect it in the Boy Scout program?Īdvocates for allowing gay scout leaders into the BSA, say that this change is necessary to keep the program from going extinct. Opening the Boy Scout Program, with its numerous close quarter campouts, would be heaven to scout leader predators (we used to call them perverts) such as I described above. I saw nothing pointing out the dangers of allowing seasoned adult male predators to prey on our vulnerable innocent little boys. President Gate’s “enlightened” suggestions met mostly with raving reviews by the establishment press with words such as equality, fairness, openness, inclusive, and progressive. Over time I counseled other gays, each having his own age preferences and not all focused on twelve and thirteen year old little boys. He promised to follow that advice and as far as I know did, but I was stunned by the power of this appetite.
He was also advised to seek professional help for his craving appetite. He called him “fresh meat.” I warned him of the consequences of any action on his part and advised that he immediately separate himself from the boy and seek the company of another adult, preferably his wife (he was bi-sexual) or a family member. His eyes lit up, as you or I would salivate over the smells of a sirloin steak barbequed on the grill. He also spoke of a boy of like age in his neighborhood presently that wandered by occasionally. Contacting authorities confirmed what he shared, although at least twenty-five years earlier, revealing that two of the scouts, now adults, were now themselves gay and having to deal with the same lust for other little boys activated by the activities of their former scoutmaster. He told me of his sexual desire for little boys and begged me to help him avoid any service opportunity that placed him in close proximity with young men. He told me a horrifying story, the details of which I cannot repeat here, but which involved his activities as a scoutmaster to three little boys at different times and in different troops over a period of time. Many years ago I served as a lay minister and received an unusual patron for counseling, a new move-in to whom I was to have ecclesiastical jurisdiction for a time. Just last year he said, that he “personally would have favored ending the ban on gay adults, but he opposed any further debate after the Scouts’ policy making body upheld the ban.” Gates, as former national defense secretary, was the father of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy allowing gays into the military services. The Associated Press reported, “that the organization’s longstanding ban on participation by openly gay adults is no longer sustainable, and called for change in order to avert potentially destructive legal battles.” This position is not a surprise to those who know Gates. Unfortunately his message this month to the Scouts’ national annual meeting in Atlanta Georgia set the BSA on fire. His honors in the scouting program are just as impressive. Perhaps there has never been a more high profile national president. Gates, past CIA director and national defense secretary, as its national president.
