So be it....small price to pay.
When I first saw this news (2/4), I send an email to the BSA:
“I am seeing news about the issue of Gays in the BSA.
I have a gut wrenching reaction to this, but will try to be brief in my comments.
This is just one more attack on the moral, character, and self-reliance standards of citizens of the USA. BSA represents the best of these, and perhaps the last. Even our military is being diluted into ineffectiveness. Now, today’s society is attacking the BSA, from every angle, including from the top down.
Up to now, I have been most proud of my accomplishments as an Eagle Scout (’63) with Gold Palm. If the BSA caves, I am afraid that will change. I have stood firm for the last 50 years, largely due to my BSA experience. I encourage BSA to continue to do the same.”
I think I will follow up with an offer to support them if they resist.
