I'm sorry to be Mr. Politically Incorrect Comedian, but the completely inappropriate jokey thought crossed my mind, and I had to share it with someone:
Of course sexual predators are going to want to become scout leaders, how else are some of 'em going to get laid...
...and where else are they going to learn those bondage knots...
No, seriously, if you're friends with me on Facebook, then you know how important LGBT rights are to me, so you know that I am for any of this kind of progress. And it's not like it was a whole lot of effort, if they were to ban 'em, they'd lose a lot of members.
Oh, Shelly, here's a fun factoid -- the only thing in the bible about gay and lesbians is that "a man shall not lie with a man as with a woman", so technically there's nothing in there about lesbians. So the next time some Christian gives you crap about lesbians, just tell them "your god is alright with that". I double-checked that with my LDS friend (since I'm not about to scower the bible myself), but feel free to double-check however you like.
