Yes The Boy Scouts is a Fruity Club, and Gay People Are Better Than to Join it

I get criticized for calling the boy scouts a fruity club. I don't consider "fruity" to be a slur, though some might disagree, fine, whatever.

Fruity simply means "queer" or "weird" or "out of the ordinary" or "strange" and to be honest I find the idea of grown men camping out with underage boys wearing funny uniforms and park ranger hats to be quite "fruity." This would be the same opinion even if the boy scouts did let gays in. In fact boys at my elementary school bullied and picked on these strange looking nerds.

The girl scouts are different though because they don't place much emphasis on their gender identity, are more career minded (selling cookies) and I personally find scouting to be more suitable for girls than boys. They look better in uniforms, they are not (maybe its a woman's thing) pretending to know more, they identify more with civics, and have a more civil sisterly bond which I find more healthier than pompous men in short shorts whose masculinity depends on leading boys, starting fires, how to open canned foods, sewing on badges, building tents, and playing bugles. I don't find these things by themselves absurd, just that the fact that you need to wear awful uniforms, make strange oaths, act like soldiers even though they are way off with the actual realities of the military environment and war, where your actual masculinity will be tested, seems really silly to the objective eye. Why? Because the objective demands, well... an objective perhaps? And a clear objective for the boy scouts is truly not fully understood, as in the military the object is to defend the country, whereas the boy scouts is to be 'morally straight' whatever that actually means its anybody's wild guess (although legally speaking "morally" straight means being sexually straight at all times).

But don't just take my word for it. Over at Nat Geo's blog people came out in droves to support the "morally-sexually straight" clause of the Boy Scouts in the comments section of a blog post by a "gay scout." Get a load at this comment as this proves to me that the obsession with this silly private club's holly and exemplary discrimination makes the BSA very fruity in my book:


That last bit about "any sexually active young man..." is truly revealing about the inner thoughts and workings inside the BSA. These people are so sexually oppressed and homophobic that it is hard to imagine that they even had procreated their own boys to actually join the damn fruity club.
