Gays in a tent
La orientación sexual es una atracción emocional, romántica, sexual o afectiva duradera hacia otros. ¿Qué es la orientación sexual? Simply put—the closet leads to promiscuity. What will change dramatically is the number of gay youth who are open about their reality.
As I described above, young men who belong to a troop that has an openly gay scout and young men who have openly gay friends are going to be more open about the meanings of flirtations and sexual advances between males. Young men mimic sexual advances and flirtations with each other on a regular basis as a sort of banter, and obviously gay youth are no exception to this.
In fact, young people more easily adjust and manage their prejudices than adults. Simply put: Most sexual perpetrators are heterosexual. However, when the gay youth is open about being gay the boundaries are actually more clear, because the issue is on the table that there might be a real sexual attraction that is probably not reciprocated.
Here are 10 gay
We're Tyler and Todd, a gay couple from Canada that had been traveling across the USA in our self-renovated RV with our two dogs, Charlie and Eddie. I think any reasonable person can agree that if the military can learn to combat the homophobia that leads to discomfort from the mere presence of gay people in their sleeping quarters, then so can the Boy Scouts.
The closeted gay youth meanwhile, will not have had a chance to do that, and will be more likely to invent or misinterpret playfulness from their peers. Gay men no more likely to be sexual perpetrators toward boys than heterosexuals. One of the concerns raised when the BSA voted to allow openly gay Scouts to participate in the program was the issue of tent-sharing.
Furthermore the young gay men who are open will have experience interacting with their straight peers in more honestly and maturely. They will have a better chance of maintaining healthy boundaries, because they will have already started engaging with their straight peers around the issue in a positive way.
Most historians agree that there is evidence of homosexual activity and same-sex love, whether such relationships were accepted or persecuted, in every documented culture.
Even those that perpetrate against young boys. Sexual orientation refers to an enduring pattern of emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions to men, women, or both sexes. There is way too much sexual abuse perpetrated by teenage males on younger boys, but it is simply not being done by the gay youth.

An interesting and important observation is that as society has become more and more tolerant, and as gay people have been more and more open about their orientation, there has been a remarkable decrease in promiscuity among gay men. Also point 1 is so easily refuted it also barely deserves mention, accept for the fact that substantial misinformation and misperceptions about sexual abuse still pervade and impact policies.
Meanwhile, being openly gay in a more tolerant society is more conducive to more stable, committed relationships. I do want to point out some realities that will hopefully alleviate concerns and help scout programs to correctly manage how they treat their gay members.
Every study and statistic back this up. First of all, it should be pointed out that the change in policy will only have a small impact on the number of gay youth who actually participate in scouting.

With no model of discussion of healthy gay relationships, closeted gays see casual sex as their only sexual outlet.

Understanding this reality requires a complex understanding about sexual abuse and perpetrators, and I plan to address this issue more in an essay that will follow later. I will argue that this concern is also misguided. So when it comes down to it, the only somewhat realistic concern is that there will be an increase in voluntary sexual behavior due to tent sharing.
