My only concern, and sorry about this, is boys like me growing up without fathers, who might be influenced overly much by a gay scoutmaster. Growing up, my father figures were literally Captain James T Kirk, Carl Sagan and (later) Ernest Hemingway, since I had no father or guy around at all. If I’d had a smart, intelligent but gay scoutmaster it would have been cool (the smart and intelligent part), but I feel like I might have been influenced in that direction when I was too young to think critically about anything. This is my only concern — personally I say, lift any ban but consider the fact that scoutmasters are in an extremely unique position in the eyes of those boys, and see what other ideas we can come up with relating to these leaders. Will I be banned from Buzzfeed for expressing these thoughts?

  Peter, you obviously don’t get how the gay thing works: you’re either gay or you’re not. Nothing can “influence you” to be attracted to someone you are fundamentally just not attracted to.

As an Eagle Scout, I find it amazing that in it’s entire history, there has NEVER been a gay member or leader! Even the Catholic can’t make that boast!

  If I’m reading this correctly you think that there has never been a gay person, troop leader, scout or otherwise involved in Boy Scouts??? 1. I hope that’s sarcasm 2. If its not LOLZ you’re naive.
