It's an all boy/man organization. Letting in a person that is gay is the same as letting a female in, IMO. They might find themselves with a hefty lawsuit if there's an "incident" during a camp out. However, who's to say they don't already have gays/pedo's in there already? I am not familiar with how membership works though. Do they have a screening process or is it a "Fill this form out and you're in" kind of thing. How many people would come out and say "I'm gay!" that are trying to join BSA or would announce it if they are already in it?
