"Treated equally" doesn't mean I get to walk in to your PRIVATE home and make you give me a plate for dinner.... While we are at it... Why can't girls join the BSA? because they started their OWN private organization.

being a Felon doesn't necessarily mean you are violent... Why do we deny these people CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS! (2nd amendment)

Apparently, bigotry is one of Mr. Norris' strong-suits. I'm pleased that Mr. Turley is taking the fair-minded action to reverse this discriminatory practice. No one should be banned from being a Boy Scout leader based on sexual preference. It's time for Mr. Norris to become a man and learn to treat each person equally and respectfully.

Since when did private organizations have to do what gov't says? AND Why isn't he attacking the United Negro College fund for not helping Whites? Why hasn't "The New Black Panthers" gotten in trouble for not allowing whites? ANSWER: that is the definition of a PRIVATE ORGANIZATION

I do not believe sexual preferance is a reason to ban someone from being a scout leader. It should be looked only if the scout leader makes being gay an issue with the scout troup.
