I imagine that if a gay man had a son and his son was involved in scouting, it wouldn't be a leap to think maybe the gay man would want to be actively involved in his son's life, scouting included. If a single man, with no connection to scouting was all like "Yah, I hella want to take a group of girls up into the…

I would be okay with it because I don't categorically pidgeon hole straight men into being sexually attracted to teenager girls. I'm a straight man who isn't attracted to teenage girls because they're obnoxious, inexperienced with dilemmas or problems I care about, look awkward and goofy, and don't have confidence in…

You know, I don't think you go far enough. I appreciate your concern for safety but you're really letting parents off the hook here. I propose the following:

Holy shit, I see some of my wife in this. She's white though. So confused.

What would your reaction be if someone was black and didn't have a problem with this?

Magic Johnson is rolling over in his sarcophagus.

I wonder aloud sometimes if something is so ridiculous that it is beyond cultural critique. And then I watch this and go "Yeah, yeah that is possible"
