		<description>RE: Boy Scouts of America Removes Lesbian Troop Leader.

Since her bio indicates that MS Stanley is an attorney I assume she is engaging a bit of sophistry and not intellectual dishonesty in her analysis of the phrase &quot;morally straight&quot;. Since Mark only offered a perfunctory defense of the BSA position I feel I must respond. The term is similar to &quot;on the straight and narrow&quot; meaning to adhere to the path without deviation. In this case it means not to deviate from morality. Since the three predominate religions; Judaism, Christianity and Islam all condemn homosexuality as immoral and morality is a religious concept of absolute right and wrong it is impossible to be both homosexual and morally straight. You can claim that the Boy Scouts are being too rigid and living by rules set down by a fictitious god 6000 years ago if you wish and you will be in good company. You will be wrong but you will be in good company.</description>
