[QUOTE="Kevin Palmer, post: 694831, member: 54263"] BigBear. Ok, I'll touch this one. I agree with the "In A Perfect World" thought process that I think that Tom is trying to convey. And, if it was that way and I [b]KNEW[/b] there were no concerns or issues as far a an openly gay man sleeping in the tent with my son then I could sit home comfortably and say. "It's all good, he fine and having fun etc etc etc". That said, we will never know those types of things for sure. And, I would be lying if I said I would have serious reservations if I thought for one second the pack leader was gay and he would be sharing the tent with the children, mime or any for that matter. Is it right to think that way? Probably not, but the the reality is, it is how I would feel. I have no personal issues with gay people, male or otherwise. In the field I work in, I come across them in most cases several times a day. I have been hit on by several gay men, once again due to the field I work in. I simply tell them that I am married and I am happy with my marriage as it is. They understand and do not get all defensive. I have seen others tell them nasty comments and to get the "F" away from them. This only creates hostilities and problems on down the line sine we work with them 5 days a week, 2 to 4 times a day. But like you, bottom line, not only would I be uncomfortable, I am pretty sure my child would not be at that camping trip. [/QUOTE]
