- Just a quick count for all of you who are interested,
-
- when I logged in this morning there were 35 unread messages in rec.scouting
- 26 of them had to do with Homosexuality of these
-
- Andrew Wierling had written 7
- Eric Rescorla 6
- Jon Livesey 6
- and Carl Kadie 3
-
- now I can understand people wanting their position to be heard but can't some
- of this be done by e-mail.
- In general I don't want to kill the whole thread, because sometimes people will
- post newspaper articles, official BSA policy, a few months ago there was a
- short discussion by a scout in Denmark about the fact that there were 2 scout
- groups in Denmark, one more religiously affiliated than the other. In the
- past I have asked, with no avail, that people say what they have heard about
- the non-religious based scout group that the BSA proposed when they were in the
- middle of their fight with the SF UW. I would also be interested in knowing
- what, if any policy, there is regarding the explorers and gays/athiests.
- Like I said I think that in general it would be easier to follow this
- discussion if some people didn't feel that it was their mission in life to
- follow up every article with their own post that simple restates but dosen't
- clarify the positions.
