Point of clarification, Reverend. The Boy Scouts aren't actually *teaching* homosexuality

And they aren't changing their organization name to "Gay Scouts"

They've simply quit banning people based on something that has nothing to do with scouting.

[font size="4"]Alabama Pastor Bans Boy Scouts for Supporting 'Sinful Lifestyle' of Gay Scouts[/font]

An Alabama pastor says that he is banning Boy Scouts from meeting at his church because they are supporting a "sinful lifestyle" by allowing gay members to join the organization.

First Baptist Church of Helena Pastor Greg Walker told WBRC that he was forced to decide that the scouts could no longer meet at his church after the Boy Scouts of America dropped its gay ban.

"It's hard on a personal level to say to a troop of young boys who have done nothing wrong and to the leaders, 'You're not welcome here,'" Walker explained. "I didn't make the decision, Boy Scouts of America did."

"It's an issue as a church pastor and Christian that I can't allow a group to openly support a sinful lifestyle under the umbrella of First Baptist Helena," he added.

Oh dear. Will the Boy Scouts be able to find another church in Alabama now?

File this one under "I" for idiot jackwagon.

1. "I didn't make the decision, Boy Scouts of America did"

The bigots *never EVER* accept responsibility for their unreasoning hatred. It's more important to them to nurse their bigotries whilst laying blame for their nastiness on someone else.

Typical Talibabdiss. Just typical.

I'm sure he'll feel real good when he's on the wrong side of history in a few years.
