To Jesse:
‘I support the position of the BSA. Now that I’m a parent, I would not entrust my sons to the care of a gay Scout leader. It’s as simple as that.’

Very simple, indeed. Bigotry is always simple, by definition. Gay men are ‘simply’ untrustworthy, as a group. What could be simpler … or more corrosively prejudiced? Are atheists and agnostics also untrustworthy? Are the Scouts afraid they will ‘un-convert’ the children? Am I justified in refusing to entrust my teenage daughter to be taught by heterosexual men, or my son by heterosexual women? I’m not talking about whether the scouts have the legal right to discriminate, but whether it is ethically right.
