Most likely, if a gay scout came to a location where people are discussing that they are afraid of being raped by gays in a tent - they aren't going to stay. I mean seriously?! The attitude wouldn't be that hard to figure out. They don't even have to mention being raped in a tent....
Yes, they may move to to a location that seems a bit more tolerant of whom they see themselves in life. A group that won't be afraid of them raping someone in their tent.
I will say I don't understand the same sex attraction myself. It's hard to wrap my mind around. So there it is. I try very hard to 'fear' people that give me reason too.
This fear mongering reminds me of my childhood while our generation was dealing with racism, segregation, civil rights, etc.
You don't have to accept the lifestyle of individuals, and goodness knows I can read you chapter and verse regarding even Christians in that category. I mean all you have to do is read some newspaper to see there are pastors, etc out there with animalistic tendencies as well. What does that say for the 'straight' crowd? Sigh.
I will say that I have encountered enough 'gay' individuals in my life to know that just because they are GAY doesn't mean your likely to get hit on in tent. Although this fear does seem to remind me of stance that if you aren't dressed 'modest' in the rapist's view you basically were asking for it. Yes, it says that 'men' seem to be monsters in disguise with uncontrollable tendencies. As I read here - it seems it doesn't matter their sexual attraction either. BLECK! It would seem that men have uncontrollable tendencies no matter which side their bread is buttered on. (shivers)
If people are afraid of this? I would teach your boys the same lessons we are forced to teach our girls regarding advances that are made towards them in life by unsavory people. I mean if you get out in the real world - gays walk around freely - and they will have to worry about that anyway right? Teach them NOW!
I will tell you I would object to any individual - child or adult - in scouts that are in your face overtly gay or to use a 'straight' term HORNDOG! It's not approriate, and should be called out.
Chances are you know gay people right now, but they haven't 'come out' to you. Don't worry that tendency won't change all that much, because most are well aware of the 'fear factor' they would have deal with if they told.
