“ … and morally straight …
To be a person of strong character, your relationships with others should be honest and open. You should respect and defend the rights of all people. Be clean in your speech and actions, and remain faithful in your religious beliefs. The values you practice as a Scout will help you shape a life of virtue and self-reliance” – The Boy Scout Handbook, Page 47, 11th Edition, Third Printing
[I’ve got this air of the ridiculous,
And I’ve got a spoon,
And what the hell is more threatening that a spoon?
So I thrust it towards you,
Yelling the threat(?)
I’m what?
Eleven, twelve?
My first kiss is at 16,
After a going away party.
My sexual progression
Was nowhere near understanding of “spooning”
And as kid is waving a spoon around,
Why the hell would you take him as anything but literal?]
{ your relationships with others should be honest and open}
I
Didn’t
Let
It
Slip,
Did I?
You
Don’t
Know
That in the dark nights I want to know what his lips feel like?
“That’s gay!”
“No,
Wait,
Please,
I didn’t mean—“
“Guys, Stephen wants to spoon you!
Stephen wants to spoon you!”
{You should respect and defend the rights of all people}
“That’s gay man!”
“You’re so gay!”
But I—
I don’t want to be gay.
I’m not gay.
I can’t be.
Don’t
Don’t
Don’t
Think that.
It’s wrong.
