I have to disagree.  I don't see why homosexuals can't follow the Scout
Oath and Law.  In fact, I know at least one Brother who is an Eagle Scout
and gay, and I believe that he exemplifies not only the Scout Oath and
Law, but the Cardinal Principles as well.  His sexual orientation is no
more an issue than mine or anyone else's, as it is a private matter between
consenting adults.
