Boy Scouts' Gay Ban To Be Dropped For Youth, But Not Adults: Proposal

Under pressure over its long-standing ban on gays, the Boy Scouts of America is proposing to lift the ban for youth members but continue to exclude gays as adult leaders.

The Scouts announced Friday that the proposal would be submitted to the roughly 1,400 voting members of its National Council at a meeting in Texas the week of May 20.

They apparently still believe the utterly ridiculous crap about homosexuality being the same as pedophilia but hey, its a start.

Youth camps in general divide the staff from the children by and because of sex. Why should gays be any different? You want equal treatment right? Stop whining

 

[NLT]

Are they gonna be able to earn a sodomy badge now?

 

[rightwinger]

It was never fair to kick a boy who had spent years in scouting out because he realized his sexual orientation

It is a good start

 

[Katzndogz]

They need to do more than that, keeps gay scouts in their own troupe where they don't prey upon other boys.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

WHY must the same ignorant idiots ALWAYS say the SAME stupid fucking crap?

Since you're obviously terrified of your own sexual identity, get some fricken help already.

 

[Political Junky]

Yes, a good start.
