Boy Scouts Make Right Decision in Upholding Ban on Homosexuals
(Harrisburg) — Today the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), after a two year special committee’s “candid conversation and extensive research and evaluations,” has decided to keep in place its ban on open homosexual leaders and members. The American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA), commends the Scouts for taking this step to continue protecting the boys placed in their charge.
“The Boy Scouts of America has courageously withstood relentless pressure from homosexual activists and those intent on forcing the Scouts to rescind their policy. Since the 2000 United States Supreme Court decision that the Scouts had every right as a private organization to determine its leadership and membership there has been a vicious campaign mounted to break the scouting organization. The Scout’s policy is right and they reaffirmed that today,” Diane Gramley, president of the AFA of PA noted.
The BSA leadership recognize the potential danger they would placing young boys in. The following research shows why the Boy Scouts’ policy is right:
- The Archives of Sexual Behavior reported that “eighty-six percent of offenders against males described themselves as homosexual or bisexual.”
- Although homosexuals account for less than 2 percent of the population, they constitute about a third of child molesters, according to K. Freund and R.I. Watson, “The Proportions of Heterosexual and Homosexual Pedophiles Among Sex Offenders Against Children: An Exploratory Study,” J. of Sex & Marital Therapy 18 (1992), and K. Freund, and R.I. Watson, “Pedophilia and Heterosexuality vs. Homosexuality,” 10 Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy 197 (1984).
- In a study published in 1987 in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence, Dr. Gene Able said homosexuals sexually molest young boys with an incidence five times greater than the molestation of girls.
- Even homosexual activists don’t try to hide the connection with pedophilia. In The Gay Report — a book published back in 1979 — authors Karla Jay and Allen Young found that 73 percent of those surveyed had had sexual relations with males 16 to 19 or younger.
- A 1999 article in the Journal of Homosexuality by Helmut Graupner argued that same-sex relations with minors should be considered a gay rights issue. The article argued that children wouldn’t necessarily be harmed by sexual contact with adults.
“The Boy Scouts have had their own problems with sexual molesters. They don’t need to remove the safe guards that are in place, instead they need to strengthen them. The AFA of PA has numerous stories from right here in Pennsylvania about young Scouts being molested by Scout leaders. The BSA has confidential documents listing about 5,000 suspected child molesters who were formerly in their midst. If homosexual activists want to be involved in scouting, why don’t they stop harassing the Boy Scouts and start their own organization just as those who oppose the pro-homosexual, pro-abortion path the Girl Scouts have taken,” remarked Gramley.
She was referring to the Cincinnati, Ohio-based American Heritage Girls which just celebrated its 16th ‘birthday’ and boasts nearly 400 Troops and more than 19,000 members.

I really like your site at http://afaofpa.org/archives/p3379/.
Helpful advice about sexual assault college
station. Thanks so much for sharing.
Barring gay men from the Boy Scouts won’t protect Scouts from child molesters because adult men who identify as gay are, by and large, a completely different population from adult men who molest children.
Here are some statistics to consider: “Homosexualities,” a Simon and Schuster book by Alan Bell, reports that 25 percent of homosexual men admit to having had sex with boys who are 16 or under.
A survey of readers was conducted by “The Advocate,” a homosexual newsmagazine. Of the 2,500 respondents, 21 percent admitted that an adult man committed a sexual act with them by the age they were 15. Also, read this article http://www.wnd.com/2000/10/480/
Brucie, Brucie.
Barring homosexuals or ‘gaymen’ as you prefer to call them, would go a long way toward protecting the Scouts, Cub Scouts excepted. The Cub Scouts are the only ones who are ‘children’. Boy Scout eligibility begins at age ten and runs through the eighteenth birthday. Thus even the youngest of Boy Scouts are on the threshold of puberty.
And this is important since it is exactly in this area that your activists fudge the numbers and the language. Relations with pubescent males constitute pederasty not pedophilia. And while you claim to have scientific evidence to support your position about pedophilia there is no such evidence regarding pederasty. Another term for the pederast, taken directly from homosexual slang itself, is “chicken hawk”. Pederasty has a long history going back at least to the Greek military where it was de riguer.
But I do agree with your comments regarding how one ‘identifies’. Many chicken hawks, Jerry Sandusky being one of the most notorious, develop elaborate ruses to trick unsuspecting youth. As in Sandusky’s case, they project every appearance of being a straight ‘family man’.
Scout leadership candidates should all be tested for homosexual tendencies just as many companies drug test potential employees. Wire them up to a peter meter and show them homoerotic images. If the needle jumps, they are automatically disqualified.
I give your people credit for your successful campaigns regarding molestations in both the Scouts and by the Catholic priests. You’ve very effectively managed to create the illusion that “Oh, that wasn’t us, it was THOSE pedophiles.” Thorough analysis of the data reveals, however, that in the overwhelming majority of cases it was pederasty not pedophilia and it was perpetrated by males on males.
