Trevorum 24 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 You may or may not agree with what this young man has to say, but I'm sure you agree with me that he is an outstanding and articulate example of Scouting's finest. http://tinyurl.com/85vrtue Link to post Share on other sites
RememberSchiff 3663 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Outstanding oratory. Now there's an Eagle Scout. My $0.02 Link to post Share on other sites
SR540Beaver 116 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Is the link supposed to take you to a moveon.org story about two lesbians raising a baby? That's where it took me. Evidently it is a video and my company blocks all streaming media. Link to post Share on other sites
CCbytrickery 10 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 He did an excellent job speaking to the legislature. His moms should be very proud of him! Link to post Share on other sites
Horizon 97 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 SR540Beaver - yes, it is a video currently hosted by Moveon.org. It has been making the rounds on the 'net over the past couple of days. It shows an adult male college student addressing the Iowa legislature regarding gay marriage. He is, among other things, an Eagle Scout. He was also raised by two women who are partners. He is well spoken without being perfectly polished, and makes a mockery of those who think that gays can not properly raise children. Kudos to his unit and Council for supporting him in his Scouting endeavors, regardless of who his parents are. Link to post Share on other sites

SeattlePioneer 144 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hello Horizon, I think the video puts Scouting on display in a very favorable light, highlighting the kind of diversity characteristic of Scouting. It only makes a mockery of those leading vitriolic hate campaigns against Scouting. The arguments for or against homosexual marriage will continue as a values issues regardless of who is making the argument. Perhaps next year MoveOn will find a Scout who has two mommies and a daddy or two to start promoting polygamy. (This message has been edited by seattlepioneer) Link to post Share on other sites
BS-87 30 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Makes you wonder how he'd have turned out without the positive male role-models Scouting provides. /instigation Link to post Share on other sites
