In an official statement, issued during the 1992 Annual Conference of the North American Man-Boy Love Association (a group which promotes male-male adult-child sex), reported in the Nambla Bulletin (Sept. 1992, p. 6) we read:

"NAMBLA calls on the Boy Scouts of America to cease its discrimination against openly gay and lesbian persons in the appointment of its scout masters and scouters and in its membership. This will permit scouts to be exposed to a variety of life-styles and will permit more of those individuals who genuinely wish to serve boys to do so."

"Ask for a public meeting with your local United Way chapter to demand that they defund the Boy Scouts. Take the media and apply to become a scout leader. Take the media and meet with local scout troops. Find out if the Scouts recruit at school and ask the school board to throw them out. Boy Scouts of America says it will not comply with the demands of homosexuals."

Overwhelming public pressure forced U.S. West to withdraw its threat, but gay special advantage legislation would doubtless weaken the resolve of many organizations who would oppose promotion of gay behavior/"orientation" and the "gay rights" political agenda.
