Gay Boyscout Leaders?

I think you're right. It's ridiculous to think that who a person is attracted to could affect their ability to be a good mentor. Morally, gay men are no less able to be good Boy Scout leaders than straight men. After all, we don't say that straight men should not be teachers because they are attracted to women and they teach girls, or that straight women should not be teachers because they are attracted to men and they teach boys. That would be silly. Legally, there's no good reason why gay men shouldn't be role models for boys either. Being gay has nothing to do with being a role model- in fact, a gay person might be an especially good role model because they are open minded and understanding of differences, and able to help out kids who are having trouble fitting in, because they have experienced it themselves.
