If a troop leader happens to be gay, it shouldn't have an effect on his ability to lead the boys. They're not gonna turn gay because of it. Sure, homosexuality is deemed unsuitable and punishable by Christian bible standards, but the BSA isn't in any way a religious group. It's really sad that some unenlightened, ignorant, macho-type guys advocate discrimination like this. This sort of discrimination should have ended back when slavery in the South was abolished.
Girls have to settle for smaller and less.
I thought we had gotten past all this in today's society, but I guess not. To the town of Otsego Planning Board, there are a lot of excellent girl softball players out there who deserve to have a place to improve what they do have, and to make them better players, the same as boys with their baseball camps. I have two granddaughters who play softball. The older one has been playing softball for about six years, three of those years on a team where she is an excellent player. I thought in this new century that society had come to a point where girls and boys are equal.
