Exclusive: Boy Scouts close to ending ban on gay members, leaders - U.S. News

The discussion of a potential change in policy is nearing its final stages, according to outside scouting supporters. If approved, the change could be announced as early as next week, after the BSA's national board holds a regularly scheduled meeting.

Only seven months ago, the Boy Scouts affirmed a policy of banning gay members, after a nearly two-year examination of the issue by a committee of volunteers convened by national leaders of the Boy Scouts of America, known as the BSA.

Another peal of the death knell of the BSA and society as a whole - allowing anything "just because of PC" means you stand for nothing.

If you're one of those guys that equate "values" with "bigotry" you are probably correct.

They already have women, both as leaders and members. Try to keep up.

Some of them yes, some of the straight ones I'd have second thoughts about though.

I've never said churches were the best places to be, especially the RCC in light of their "history" with priests & boys. In fact, I have a fairly low opinion of most churches today because many of them aren't doing much good. It's buyer beware.
