6:57 am
to charge someone with weapons of mass destruction requires an impact on interstate commerce so if they hadn't shut down the t and basically all of the businesses in the city of boston, they would have been unable to make that argument. there's a supreme court case that wipes that out. so by locking everybody down and going over this sort of the over the top police action. they bolster their case. since massachusetts doesn't have the death penalty. one interesting fact there, though, wmv as it is defined in the 1994 violent crime and prevention act theme, is assault weapons. >> oh, really. >> stephanie: oh interesting. >> because they can cause mass

8:36 am
against children who are gay based on their sexual orientation or preference as they say. but they are going to maintain their discriminatory policier about leadership. you cannot be a gay or lesbian den leader over 21 if you are openly gay. so when you are a child and you say you are gay, you are okay but as soon as you turn 21 you become a predator a child molester. >> especially a lesbian in charge of a bunch of boys. >> stephanie: right. what is more dangerous than that. what? let me just tell you, i couldn't be less interested in boys of any age. >> so i think we're agreeing with tony perkins.
8:37 am
he says it's morally acceptable until a boy turns 18 and then when he becomes of age he is removed from the scouted. so the volunteers around the country have to still vote on the policy. >> stephanie: it is weird the way that this whole -- salon says in january it announced it was potentially discussing changing it's restrictions -- it was like this exploratory -- now the scouts are taking further dodgy steps. they moved to end the ban on -- as you say even the language is way openly gay scouts but continue to bar gay scouts as leaders. it would open up all kinds of cans of worms. does it stand by its assertion that homosexual conduct is
8:38 am
against the standards they wish to -- >> do they ask for your eagle scout back on your birthday. >> stephanie: do they rip it off of your shoulder. >> that eagle looks gay to me. >> stephanie: even more grotesquely distinguishing between gay youth and adult leaders -- and tony perkins perkins -- salon writes lbgt rights aren't about injecting -- by the way being a normal human being living fully in the world isn't in politics either. >> and then tony perkins stabbed a woman in the shower. >> stephanie: no, not that tony
8:39 am
perkins perkins. >> oh. >> stephanie: this goes to your point -- that's exactly what the implication is. pedaphilia does not equate to homosexuality. >> and the boy scouts consulted some experts in this field. the ap reported that the scouts consulted four experts in the field of child sex abuse prevention. the four came to a nearly universal opinion that homosexually is not an abuse factor for children. but they still came to this opinion. >> we have no evidence but we
8:40 am
feel icky. >> stephanie: it's weird that a compromise just makes it worse. obviously as chris implied this has been such a huge news week and so what -- has there been any reaction that you know of. because obviously a lot of people not talking about this yet. >> yeah, there is bigger news that has been happening this week. putting out a press release or statement on a friday afternoon is always a way to try to bury it. but i don't think they anticipated as much news as we had this week, so i don't think that was part of the plan. but the interesting response will be corporate response. because that's where they have been losing so much money. >> stephanie: it will be interesting to see what happens at the supreme court and if that effects them. because i think it's
8:41 am
just -- even what they just did just seems so regressive. >> hand fisted and just ridiculous. >> stephanie: yeah. >> it's nice that ideally, gay youth will not be discriminate against in boy scouts i guess that's a good thing. but it's a weird step. >> stephanie: it's the argument to me matt about civil unions it's like why do you have to call it marriage like you are regular people? and to me it would have been as if we said that to blacks and whites. we'll let you do it but we're not going to call it marriage. >> yeah, we talk about the mormons and catholics give a lot of money to the scouts. religious organizations of all kinds come around when the law
8:42 am
prevents discrimination. so the supreme court may have an effect on this issue. hopefully it will. >> stephanie: yeah speaking of interracial marriage and some of the comparisons people have made. they were even talking about whether you believe that people are born gay or a sexual continuum, it says what difference was it make? were you born with a desire to sleep with another race or did you choose it, who cares? what difference should it make? >> that to me goes to the idea of if we're talking about marriage -- we often talk about it in these religious contexts. but really it's a contract between two adults, so why do we have all of these quasi religious ideas associated with it anyhow. if it is going to be administrated by the government
8:43 am
then it has to be separate from all of these ideas. bill donohue said marriage is not supposed to be fun for anybody. it's not about love happiness, none of that. and if you have any of that you are doing it wrong. tony in mod san, hi tony. >> caller: hi, steph. loved you in chicago. >> stephanie: thank you, baby. >> caller: yeah, and i look at "the advocate" every day. the boy scouts of america are such a hot mess -- >> stephanie: they are the delta gamma of organizations. >> caller: i'm 20 now and i came out when i was 15, if i was in the boy scouts, i still would have come out at 15 and when you turn 18 and you are going to become a pedophile that is just not going to work out. we are all going to be coming out younger now, because people
8:44 am
are going to accept it. the boy scouts have a lot of things that they have to deal with now, but this is just a joke. >> stephanie: yeah, and tony a lot of the things they use is some studies show that gay kids have a higher incidence of drug use, depression, but maybe if we are more inclusive as a society, they won't anymore. >> yeah. it has a clinical effect on you. >> it does. it's exhausting. >> somebody made an interesting comment about how if you wanted to stick to the boy scouts policy as it is being recommended right now, you could align yourself with the ex-gay policy you could be a gay scout until you turn 18, and then if you go back into the closet you could be a leader. >> stephanie: right. so marcus bachmann could be
