<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dbblsanta, post: 841846, member: 9189&quot;]It&#039;s this kind of thinking that is tearing this country apart. Gays and atheists are Americans, just like straights and Christians. They are certainly not evil people because they are biologically disposed to forming relationships with members of the same sex or because they do not see any reason to believe in a god. They are (or, as a gay atheist myself I should say WE are) members of the American community and should be treated with the same respect as anyone else. In a civilized society this should go without saying. </p><p><br /></p><p>If gay people or atheists make you sick to your stomach you have a very weak stomach. My prescription: spend time with people who are different from you. You&#039;ll be surprised just how little those differences end up meaning in the long run. </p><p><br /></p><p>Furthermore, I fully support the BSA&#039;s right to exclude anyone they want from their group. It is their freedom of association as granted by the First Amendment. I don&#039;t have to respect them because of their policies however.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
