This is so offensive, on so many levels, I'm not sure where to begin.  The experiences of a few people, 300- 400 is a small statical sampling, does not give license to label a whole group of human beings as degenerates.  I am a gay man and I have NEVER considered trying to molest a child and would never consider trying to force myself on anyone, under any circumstances.  There are sick people in every sexual group.  Most children are molested by "straight" male relative or friends of the family, not by an average gay man in a given circumstance.   The only thing I can agree with you and your commentators on is that the Boy Scouts is a private organization and they should be able to establish any rules for membership that they see fit.  They also should be cut off from any public funding (including use of government facilities) if they choose to exclude any group of citizens.  To reiterate, to classify a group of people as being pedophiles is as bad as labeling all black people as criminals. 

What is offensive: when gay men assault young boys sexually.  It happened to my brother and men numerous times, not only in grade school by two gay teachers who lived together, but by gays in college who tried to recruit us for their play toys.  Yes, heterosexuals also prey on young girls. It shows that we suffer a lot of sick citizens. A women is beaten up every 15 seconds in this country.  Talk about violence to women!  From my experiences, I feel that no gays of any kind should teach K-12 because they cannot help themselves in their sexual conquests.  And, pedophiles should experience the most punishment with jail for life after assaulting young children.  I stand by this commentary.
