No. My boss isn't telling me how to think, what events to attend, or what to thinks. My boss is setting a requirement on how I treat my fellow employees, even ones I may personally dislike, to ensure that the work environment stays productive and cordial. We live in a free society. But your boss gets to tell you how you act at work. Just as I am expected not to comment about some coworker's religious beliefs, and tolerate them even if I personally dislike or disagree with them, they should be required to at least pretend that they don't hate gay people.
When has there ever been an example of homosexuals wanting to abolish the age of consent? When has that law been proposed?

And heterosexual people are? I know plenty of straight people who sleep with a different person every night. And I know plenty of gay people in long-term relationships. But really, why does it matter? Who cares if someone sleeps with 1 person a year or a 100? Shouldn't their sex life be their business?

Because being gay isn't a disease.

They do. Plenty of fathers, including my cousin, help lead their local troops.

I accept my own views. They're based on the large body of scientific evidence that points out homosexuals are no more likely to molest than heterosexuals. I base them on logic, reason and the reality that there is no hard evidence that supports otherwise.

No. I accept the large body of evidence that points out that homosexuals are no more likely to molest children than heterosexuals. I am unable to find one study that suggests otherwise that has not been widely discredited (admittedly I've only been looking for the last 45 min or so) Link me to research that suggests otherwise and I'll gladly look at it, and take into consideration what it reflects. However, suggesting that any research that disagrees with you is "PC" is flat out ridiculous and the height of confirmation bias. You're basically saying that anyone who disagrees with you is wrong, even if almost expert disagrees with you.

I think you mean the parents. From the study: Among general population teens and Boy Scouts and Venturers alike, a majority oppose the current Boy Scouts of America membership policy. A majority of Boy Scouts and Venturers oppose allowing chartered organizations to follow their own beliefs if that means there will be different standards from one organization to the next. According to a majority of current Boy Scouts and Venturers, the current policy does not represent a core value of Scouting. Looks like the "rank and file", namely the Scouts themselves are very supportive of changing the policy.
