Eagle scout friend

I recently found out that a closeted friend of mine is an Eagle Scout. I find this very bizarre since he basically accepted a ranking that would not be available to him if he was openly gay.I don't want to judge him, but this kind of seems self hating in a way, and I think only will further his closeted-nessI don't intend to change him or anything like that. I just want to be able to cope with this.
