They are looking to shape boy's characters by modeling ideal and sober behavior. Therefore, one might imagine that the Scouts would have a similarly dim view of accepting as Scouts openly promiscuous heterosexuals, gambling addicts or boozy alcoholics. However, that logic is irrelevant to the Left. A sacred cow has been stepped upon, and the Scouts must be brutally attacked on all fronts, even up to booing young boys who have nothing to do with Supreme Court decisions. Open war has been declared on the Scouts by the homosexual activists with the ACLU and the other usual suspects jumping eagerly on board.
Boys attending campouts suddenly find themselves confronted by cussing protesters.
Companies that have traditionally sponsored the Scouts have been threatened with boycotts and demonstrations. One has to ask who is really filled with hate. However, they do not give you the same right. You must adhere to their belief system, or else you're a racist, fascist bigot ready to beat the next Matthew Shepherd to a pulp. Get out the white hood.
