SCOUTS HONOR

The Boy Scouts of America are currently undergoing their decision to lift the ban on allowing gay members to openly participate.

Here is my take on it:

If the military can allow gays and lesbians to serve openly, then surely the civilian sector can follow suit.

Here is another one that follows that same line of thinking from a mother with a son who is an Eagle Scout. She is also an active duty military officer.

A primary reason Baden Powell formed the Scouts was to provide training to young men that would prepare them for military service and leadership.  It is the policy of the United States military that gay men and women are accepted and valued within the ranks at all levels.  If the Boy Scouts want to continue preparing young men for military service, then they need to align their policy with the military's.

One more person on this subject:

She's right.

There are far more important things to worry about than someone's sexual orientation.
