I do not understand how, with the trouble Boy Scouts are having keeping their numbers up, and have OK’d gay Scouts, they have appointed Robert Gates to President of the Boy Scouts. He is and has been a gay activist for years. He wants to allow gay Scout Masters, which he says is for the good of Scouting? You must be kidding me! I have three boys and not one of them would go on a camp-out with gay Scout leaders, ever! Scouting is going to lose more members if he makes this happen and that’s a fact. Gates says he is going to transform Scouting as we used to know it. I ask “Why?” What was so wrong with the way it was? I was a Scout myself, and my father was a Scout leader. It was loads of fun and I learned a lot about being a young man as well.
The problem with the media and news is that they manipulate things as they please. The media crucifies any person of prestige who disagrees with gay life choices. I’ve written numerous letters to The Herald about the gay issues, which are very toned down on my part, yet they edit as they please and lose the basis of my letter even if there is truth to it. Negativity about the gay movement is rarely printed. I don’t believe in the gay lifestyles or gay marriage. By the way, I’m not a member of a church, just a straight male.
The Herald devoted a half page on the passage of gay marriage in Ireland. The other half page was ads. For a paper that is getting smaller and smaller and crammed full of ads maybe you should try publishing real news on a timely basis.
A guy once told me that gay lifestyles was the downfall of the Roman Empire. I think our country is heading that way again.
