My favorite GAY boy scout

          Opposite page 211 he appears among a dozen healthy-wholesome

    looking all-American youth . It is the year 1941 and soon most

    of those kids will personally experience World War II - will

    soon learn that  a buddy is a buddy - whatever  his idiosyncrasies.

             " Gore Vidal ( seated second from left ) with his

    Boy Scout Troop at Los Alamos Ranch School ". (  Gore Vidal , by

    Fred Kaplan  - a biography )

             Mr. Vidal , a gay man , is one of my favorite authors.

    He is hopelessly Left-wing and irreverent. He is also a relative

    of the Vice-President.

               Should gays be in the boy scouts , Gore ? " Well

    they have always been in the organization , haven't they ?

             A scout is Truthful !

           But knowing his politics , I doubt if gays in the boy

    scouts or gay marriage is hot issue with him. I can

    imagine him saying this in an interview : " I would

    prefer to talk about our scheming , undemocratic Ruling

    Class - and the horrible gap between the haves and the

    have nots ".

             Here is a gay man I would love to see in the

    White House - and not in the closet !
