That is the essence and beauty of scouting. I'm not gay, but I see it as abundantly clear that antipathy to bigotry of any kind is implicit in the above canon. Whoever injected the phrase "morally straight" into the American version cannot possibly hold to an ethic of Christian charity. In 46 years of teaching, I have put my arms around many students...
