gay scout participants

I would like to edify Pro on this topic, and his resolution. Before stating my own resolution.ClarificationsPro has stated the following: Homosexuals should be allowed to participate in whatever organization they wish to be in.He is of course referring to the Boy Scouts of America organization. Implying that Homosexuals are either: A) Not allowed to Join Scouts. - or B) At one point not allowed to join Scouts.This is however not the case, nor has it ever been acording to the definition of Homosexual:noun A person who is sexually attracted to members of the same sex ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pro's topic is a fallacy. he is completely misunderstood. In May 13/2013 BSA approved a policy in which openly gay scouts would be allowed to participate and openly admit to being homosexual. Furthermore, prior to that. Homosexual scouts could still join. They simply could not discuss their homosexuality. Homosexuality simply refers to sexual attraction between the same sex. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------So for the purpose of this debate I will assume that Pro is arguing that in a hypothetical situation in which there is still a policy which bans openly gay scouts from joining: Homosexuals should be allowed to participate in whatever organization they wish to be in.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------RebuttalsSo far, Pro has poorly presented an argument which is simply his opinion, he stated the following:Homosexuals should be allowed to participate in whatever organization they wish to be in.He has not presented any evidence or reasoning as to why openly Homosexual scouts should be allowed to join BSA.-Including in Pro's statement about Homosexual Scouts he writes the following:The boy scouts are setting a very bad example for the children. This has also not been backed up with any reasoning or evidence. I ask that Pro would further elaborate on this statement before I can take it as a serious argument and refute it. =================================================================Arguments:In this section I will be arguing that: Openly Homosexual Scouts Should Not Be Allowed to Participate in BSA.Boy Scouts is not about sexualityAvowed Sexuality of any sort should not be tolerated in BSA, whether Gay, Bi or Straight. I say this because in Scouting the young men who participate are not taught which sex to love. They are taught how to be a:-Friendly-Courteous -Kind-Obedient-Cheerful-Thrifty-Brave-Clean-Reverant Individual, the program has many lessons in it and non of which have anything to do with sexuality. I think that Gay Rights activists have manipulated the public into believing that Gay Scouts are being oppressed when this is not the case.This is why I believe that Avowed Sexuality of any sort should not be tolerated in Boy Scouts. =======================================================================Conclusion:I have clarified Pro's topic, and presented an argument which supports my resolution which is to be refuted by Pro in the next round.I ask that Pro would present an argument and his reasoning behind it. ----------I look forward to Pro's response as this topic is one that is close to my heart. I believe that many people are looking at it from the wrong perspective.Sources:http://edition.cnn.com...http://dictionary.reference.com...http://www.scouting.org...
