Boy Scouts vote to lift ban on gay youth
May 23 2013

GRAPEVINE, Texas -- The Boy Scouts of America voted
Thursday to end its controversial policy banning gay
kids and teens from joining one of the nation's most
popular youth organizations, ditching membership
guidelines that had roiled the group in recent years.
Over 61 percent of Scouting's National Council of 1,400
delegates from across the country voted to lift the ban,
BSA officials said. The final tally was 757 yes votes,
to 475 no.

It's about ****ing time!

Next step is to allow atheists. Until that day, the Boy Scouts are
still a bigoted organization.

Sexual orientation is not a choice, however atheism is, so why must
Scouts change to accommodate those that choose atheism?

Because the only reason to discriminate against atheists is bigotry.

So the only reason to discriminate against Spirituality is.......?

The Scouting movement has had a Christian base from the beginning, read
Scouting for Boys if you don't believe me. So why should it change it's
belief structure because some don't like it.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few....or the one.
