Fischer: Boy Scouts Must Drop Language About Being ‘Morally Straight’ if Gays are Allowed to Join

Responding to a listener who called into his “Focal Point” radio program today, Bryan Fischer said that if the Boy Scouts decide to drop the prohibition on gay scouts and leaders, the organization will have to change the language in its oath that scouts repeat as they pledge “to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight” because the phrase “morally straight” will be rendered meaningless.

“Even homosexuals refer to us as ‘straights’,” Fischer explained, “because we’re straight, we’re not crooked, we’re not bent, we’re not twisted, we’re not perverse, we’re straight. I mean, the opposite of straight is bent, twisted, crooked, perverse, so that term [‘morally straight’] is going to be meaningless now”:

When it comes to twisted and perverse, I think of Bryan Fischer long before I think of any of homosexual I know.
