I'll answer that by reversing the question. Why is inclusion the answer? we're you ever a Scout? The BSA was founded on certain specific values - this is as much a part of what Scouting teaches as how to camp or whittle a scarf slide or use a compass. Homosexually is not compatible with those values. It's just that simple. If the gay community likes everything about the BSA EXCEPT those values then they don't really like what the BSA is about. Their desire to "join" is actually a desire to CHANGE the BSA. Again, there is nothing stopping the gay community from creating their own organization similar to the BSA in all regards aside from the values they teach.

Say I'm a Protestant. As such, I don't belong in a Catholic church because I don't share their same values. This "gays should be allowed in the BSA is the same as if I insisted the the Catholic church allow my to be a member on the fact that we both just want to learn more about God. The logic doesn't follow.

Or, something closer to home, let's say an anti-2A member wanted to join this site. They don't share our values but claim to want to know more about guns (with an ulterior motive; of course). Should they be allowed to be a member of our site? Should they be allowed to come in here in increasing numbers as they continue to run off pro-2A members because of their anti comments? I say HELL NO!

That's another decision I disagree with!
