Heterophobes? Somehow, I doubt that. Sounds like a term made up by
homophobes.


You obviously haven't had any serious discussions about scouting with
members of the homosexual community.

"Heterophobe" describes them pretty well, IMHO.


Really Jay? We seriously discussed the orientation-segregation of scouting
in an earlier thread here. I challenge you to cite anything I said that was
"heterophobic".

Outside of this newsgroup, the vast majority of people I know (straight or
gay) advocate desegregation for the Scouts, as do many Scout groups
themselves. Whether you agree with that position or not, characterizing it
as heterophobic is like saying that the people who worked to desegregate
lunch counters in the '60s were thereby being white-phobic.

But that's beside the point -- CJ's point is a valid one.


You and CJ needn't worry about this newsgroup being "hijacked". It already
has been, by right-wingers who frequently inject gratuitous disparagements
of ethnic, economic, or sexual minority groups. I wouldn't mind having to
debate anti-aviation folks here any more than I mind having to debate
you--and at least the anti-aviation debate would be vaguely on-topic.
