THE LATEST ON ACCEPTANCE
Washington Post Poll today:
Post-ABC poll: Jason Collins, gay marriage and boy scouts
More support for marriage equality.
Surprising level of support for gay basketball player Jason Collins and an unequivocal reaction to the shitty boy scouts split of leaders versus boys.
The Boy Scouts have a talent for exposing their own biases in a wrong footed way.
By their allowing gay boys in and keeping gay leaders out they manage to be hypocritical, deny the mentorship of adult gay men to gay boys and, all in the same swoop, indirectly connect the unrelated dots of pedophilia and homosexuality.
If it is OK to have gay boys then where do they get their leadership from? Straight men? Stoopid. Already, gay boys and girls are born into straight families who even at their most supportive and sensitive can be clueless about what gay is all about and how a gay boy matures into a healthy gay adult.
It seems apparent that the public sees through this crap.
