The files on 1900 leaders are useless, as they do not chart abuse. All gays so identified are included as perverts.
http://www.king5.com/news/local/Boy-Sco ... 22801.htmlEllensburg Case
One file is about a scoutmaster form Ellensburg who was outsted from Scouting in 1974 after the organization had collected evidence he was gay. A memorandum from a Scout Executive in Yakima to the organization's Registration and Subscription Executive at BSA headquarters in Texas explains they'd "become aware of a suspected moral problem" with (the Scout leader). The Yakima executive recieved information that the man had previously been discharged as a Scouting camp counselor "on suspicion of homosexuality." The Scouts continued to build their case in the file by obtaining "proof" of their suspicion. The record is a four page letter handwritten by the scoutmaster where he confides to a friend, "Yes, I am gay (homosexual)". It's unclear from the file how BSA obtained the letter. The following month BSA leaders in Texas completed their file with a lifetime ban on the scoutmaster. Their "Confidential Record Sheet" lists one reason for the move: "homosexuality".

Kicking someone out in 1974 because he is gay is perhaps understandable, since those were more barbaric times. I wonder if it would still happen?
For every human action, there is a rationalisation and a reason. Only sometimes do they coincide.

Chacun a son gout, as they say in France.

The pig's gout is a very good reason to put it out of its misery and convert it to tasty pork. To each his own taste, and mine is pork (accompanied by a nice Shiraz, of course.).

Je te remercie. Which, I believe, means "Blind Groper, please have mercy" - which is what the pig says when you come for his bacon.Blind groper wrote:The pig's gout is a very good reason to put it out of its misery and convert it to tasty pork.

Have you ever known a merciful groper?
Nah, the groper simply opens its enormous mouth and swallows it down.
