What anti-gay policy? I was a Boy Scout for about a year and was never aware of this. By the way, kids don't typically realize they're gay until well into puberty. Boy Scouts are boys.

They're banning openly-gay Scout Masters.

Ah. Makes sense.
Isn't that self-explanatory though? I mean, that's a big and necessitous precaution.

How so? Just because someone is gay doesn't make them a pedophile. And just because someone is a pedophile doesn't make them a molester. You're jumping a few steps.

Correct.
Their reasons, as far as I'm aware, are that they are a Christian organisation that believes homosexuality to be immoral.

That and a widespread, poisonous misconception that gays are more likely to be pedophiles.

My sarcasm doesn't translate very well. I was making satire of the pedophile Scout Master stereotype.

Well, sarcasm or not, it is something a lot of people actually believe.
