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.

The fact that they had to take it to a vote seems strange to me,
but it's good to know that 39% of the upper echelon are still
anti-gay.

It's disappointing that people give as much respect to The Boy
Scouts as they do. The organization is defective and needs new
leadership that respects and embraces the personal freedoms of
its membership.

You always have the choice of joining and trying to change it
Alternately you can start something equivalent modified to meet
your standards.

We will see that happen now.

What's your prediction?

They go broke and fall to 1/4 their current size.

I'll accept your prediction if you can put a date on it (or a
reasonable date range, e.g., within the next 5 years).

Five years ought to do it. The fourth largest church has already
terminated their relationship with the BSA.

Always funny to see people come along and criticize a group of
people who join together for whatever reasons , that don't meet
the critics' standards.

Lefties *NEED* to control others.

You're confusing leftwing and rightwing politics.

No, I know an idiot lefty when I see one. You know, that Moron in
Chief who has the "most transparent government in history".

Who? Chairman Mao?

It's not surprising that you would think he was your leader. It
really isn't.

Idiot.

Your unsubstantiated ad hominem attack does not help your position.

No ad hominem at all. Fact.
