Not gay…
by Matt | February 3rd, 2008 |A blogger quotes a story of a man suing the Boy Scouts of America for not dismissing two child molesters after learning of their abuse of boys in the program.
And if they had dismissed the two Scoutmasters would they be getting accused of discrimination against gays?
Probably not. Gays were not a protected species back then.
Whether that would be true these days is another matter. You know you can’t dismiss anyone of a protected group for any reason without being accused of discrimination.
In case he didn’t get the memo: Being gay doesn’t make you a child molester and being a child molester doesn’t make you gay. These two men were perverts (if not pedophiles), not gay.
