I was a trained den leader for my youngest son's Cub Scout troop. Then one day, I received a letter in the mail from the local council office telling me that I had to cut all ties with the BSA within the next 24 hours because someone had pointed out that on my personal homepage, I reveal that I am bisexual. And being gay and being "morally straight" are mutually exclusive in the minds of the BSA leadership. Fortunately for me, I had a Scout meeting that night.

The trial in Oregon exposes the existence of the “perversion files” (so called by the BSA) which the BSA kept on suspected and known child abusers within their organization. Unfortunately, the BSA never saw fit to let law enforcement or the parents/guardians of the boys know about these suspected/known child abusers. In fact, if a known pedophile completed the BSA “probation period”, they were allowed to work with the kids!
It's unfortunate how these confused individuals can't see how dangerous a pedophile is to a kid. It also shows they know little to nothing about the homosexual lifestyle.
