This blogger says that The Boy Scouts are contributing to anti-gay bullying by excluding gays from joining. They are sending the message that gays are different and worthless and deserve to be harmed for who and what they are. I have to say that I agree that excluding certain people sends the message that they are less than others.

Gays are excluded from heaven.

I think they should worry about pedophile scoutmasters before they worry about gay kids. And yes, I think they're wrong.

If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, then that makes me a burning truck filled with TNT hurtling through a rocket fuel depot.

All such clubs are social engines designed to include or exclude certain groups of people--it is the nature of the beast.
