Trail Life USA launches - new anti-gay scouting alternative

From the WashingtonTimes:

At the opening session, John Stemberger, chairman of the board of Trail Life USA, teased the crowd of 1,200, saying he would not be surprised if there were “spies” from Grapevine, Texas — BSA’s home base — in the audience. That would make sense, since everyone from supporters to the curious want to know what’s being planned, he said, adding that Trail Life USA will not be “anti-BSA.”

The conference’s theme is “Honoring the Legacy, Raising the Standard.” Trail Life USA’s name, drawn from more than 300 options, was carefully vetted and is intended not to be political or controversial, organizers said. “Trail” refers to a pathway and being outdoors, but also symbolizes the passage of life, where there are moral choices, and right and wrong paths, said Mr. Stemberger.

Adult leaders will be required to submit to a background check and sign a statement of faith.

According to reports, Trail Life USA will accept boys who are experiencing same-sex attractions or gender confusion, but not those who are openly gay.

So you can "think" about sex with another boy, you just can't "be" gay.

Got it?
