Really? Then why am I, as a Mormon, deprived of the right to have more

than
one wife? Yet most of the same lunatic fringe that demands homosexual

rights
as part of their agenda for tolerance of absolute sexual licentiousness is
equally adamant that I not be allowed to practice my religion.


Actually I, for one, think you should be able to do exactly that. Lived in
Park City and Salt Lake City, BTW, and am very familiar with some of the
Mormon splinter groups - had a polygamous family living next door at one
point in fact. The only problem I have with the polygamy as practiced by
the LDS offshoot sects today is their penchant for keeping the female
children "home schooled" and uneducated and marrying them off at 12 or 14
before they have the mental maturity, educational background, and life
experience to make a truly free and informed choice about their lifestyle.


As for the Boy Scouts, most of them take issue with the notion that
homosexuality is consensual or that it does not infringe on anyone. Many

of
the Scout leaders and parents are very concerned about pedophilia -- and
some of the postings by homosexual activists on rec.scouting.usa have done
little to address their concerns, to say the very least. A google search

on
postings by an individual calling himself "GrabMyMonkey" will show that
there are indeed some activists who are, at best, using homosexuality as a
cover for their pedophilia.


Heterosexual pedophiles vastly outnumber homosexual ones. Interviewed
several authorities from the sex offender unit at the Utah State Prison on
my radio program back in the late 1980's and as I recall they said among the
prison population heterosexual pedophiles outnumbered homosexual ones by
about 4 to 1. But the notion that a homosexual scout leader is going to
sexually assault or seduce those in his charge is in itself based on an
irrational paranoia about homosexuals - there is no more reason to believe
it will happen than it is to believe that a heterosexual Cub Scout denmother
is going to lure the Cubs in her pack into sexual play. Has it happened?
Of course, to both scenarios. Is either one likely to happen? Not very.

Rightly or wrongly, the recent experience of the Catholic Church has not
helped matters, either. Homosexuality has been tolerated among Catholic
priests for some time and now, in view of the thousands of assaults

against
young men, a lot of people are beginning to question whether that was a

wise
policy.
