I think the risk increases as you go down the alphabet. Blindly excluding gay scout leaders is not the answer, with but ignoring the risk of scout masters alone with children who are not their own is a recipe for disaster. Unless you are naïve, you gotta see the difference between C and D and additional background checking is needed. Anyone who has had children has to realize this.

Call me naive. I dont see an increased risk between C and D....and I'm confident you wont find and scientific studies to back up your statement. Its obvious you dont have any gay, adult friends.
I dont fear openly gay men or women....its the repressed-self-loathing-straight-but-really-disturbed people you need to worry about: Many priests, Terry Sandusky, Michael Jackson, Larry Craig. I would not worry for a second about a child with Richard Simmons, RuPaul, Elton John, or Greg Lugannis.
