A majority of American voters want the Boy Scouts to lift its ban against gay members and leaders, a new Quinnipiac poll finds.
The Boy Scouts of America announced last week that it was considering changing its policy of banning gay scouts and troop leaders. On Wednesday the organization said that decision would be delayed until a national meeting in May.
In the Quinnipiac poll, 55 percent of respondents said the scouts should drop the ban, while 33 percent said it should remain.
There is a significant gender gap in the results. Women back gay scouts by a 61 to 27 percent margin; among men its a narrower 49 to 39 percent margin.
Catholics are also far more likely than Protestants to support the inclusion of gay scouts.

I don’t believe the data.
But it’s irrelevant; I could start a private group that supports orange cats. There will be people who don’t like orange cats.
Well, @$%^ you. Start your own private group and do what you want.
There is a real evil in group-think that needs to be stood up to.
That’s fine.
Let them turn the Boy Scouts into a recruiting agency for gay predators. Just keep your kids and your money out of it.
She's a LESBIAN?! NO WAY!!
A sign of the times maybe? The disintegration of the country continues.
I agree with you... and your orange cats, too.
All I can say if this is true, “Where has my country gone?”
I’m sorry but I’m calling BULLSH** on this!!
If Lumpy Rutherford had a son...
I’m not buying it, and I don’t care how hard the multi-culti leftist banshees try to force perversion on us.
Stand firm Scouts!
A young man at age 10/12 is not sure of anything ,and poses no harm to anyone; but a scout leader ,who is a grown man that is gay is likley looking to prey on young targets that are very vulnerable.Not a good idea!
Got to wonder why lesbians want their children to have a “normal” life.
How many contradictions do you see in this.
BS...what did they do, poll 15 metrosexuals in Manhattan?
The BSA must stand strong and resist the the inclusion of gay Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts into their ranks.

Would these fools send their 13 year old daughters on on a overnight camping trip with a horny 18 year old boy as their scout leader?
Lord Robert Baden-Powell must be regurgitating in his grave.
I believe this. Because of the MSM Americans are completely unaware of the relationship between homosexual behavior and child abuse.
Here is the problem with openly gay scouts. How about a gay seventeen year old junior leader sleeping in a tent in the woods with a twelve year old boy. A Seventeen year old is still a BOY and he is also in the very middle of puberty when he is most sexually confused and interested in experimenting.
The militant homosexual movement will not be happy until everyone not only accepts and loves their perversions, but is required to participate and serve up our children to them like they are some sort of delicacy at a buffet.
Sit down, go back in the closet and STFU.
(Title needed fixin')
I don't believe any poll by Quinnipiac. In fact I would highly suggest that you reverse the poll results and you would have a more realistic view of the actual results.
Secondly I would love to see what the actual poll questions were, and would be willing to be the questions were phrased in such a way, to get the results they were after.
This poll is bullsh_t!
That’s a man baby!

Let the gays start their own scouting program. Why do they have to corrupt the existing one?
I have a very difficult time believing that so many American's morals have sunk this low, although November certainly showed how far down in the gutter we are now plumbing.
Bogus lefty Poll.
They figure if you say it loud and often enough, it will happen.
Egads! The homos really hate normals. Nothing these perverts can do will ever make me tell them they are normal...they aren’t.
>>>Got to wonder why lesbians want their children to have a normal life.>>>
Excellent thought.
People said the same thing about Q-piac 2012 election polls and we saw how that turned out.
Is it some sort of ego thing where people can't accept that they have an opinion that's in the minority? Or is it a function of people self-sorting into groups where their family, workmates, acquaintances all have the same views they do, giving a false impression of "public" opinion?
Of course they do. They have scene it work for all their evil policies. Look at the Lawrence v. Texas case. READ Scalia’s opinion for the minority. He stated that it would lead directly to gay marriage, law suites against private organizations and open a nasty can of worms. All because evil knows no bounds and has no limits.
If homosexual males do not have children, they won't have any sons in the troop. That being the case, why would any homosexual male want to be in scouting? Oh, yeah, young boys on weekend camping trips.....duh.
I don't believe this poll. If true though, we are lost.
Exactly! How many of those who claim to support gay’s in the scouts actually put their money where their mouths are? Between this and the Girl Scouts support of Planned Parenthood, I would predict a downturn in their sales.
this story was written in anticipation of the boyscout capitulation.
there was probably a “fabulous” parade planned too. perhaps even elton john with elton the poofy bulldog.

Total BS. It doesn’t matter what public wants. It’s what the members of Boy Scouts think.
“I have a very difficult time believing that so many American’s morals have sunk this low”
I’m not. Most young adults are openly amoral. That’s the consequence of women abandoning mothering for jobs over the last few decades. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. That hand has been extremely left wing for some time.
Only in your mind.
no quinipiac has a looooooooong history of push polling. Their poling outfit was FOUNDED to push poll.
elections are different in that all polling “gels” to the credible result at the end.
Not some bull dyke with a crew-cut!
For the last few years I have had an automatic Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) payroll deduction of over $1000.00 a year to the Boy Scouts. I chose the Boy Scouts because they were standing up to the gay Nazis. Now that they no longer stand by those principles my contribution will end this month. I hate to punish the boys of decent parents but I just can’t support them anymore.
Here’s what ends up happening...after they declare open season for gays in the scouts.
There’s going to be some eleven-year old kid who comes up to join a troop and immediately identify himself as bi.
This will freak the scout master out a bit...who will start to worry about camp-outs and comments by other parents over who can sleep in this kid’s tent.
But somewhere along the way...some idiot is going to report this in school, and then someone will ask who exactly the kid is partnering up with. And this bucket of worms start to open up where suddenly you got eleven year old girls doing it, and a number of eleven year old boys.
Cops get called then, and accusations fly left and right. It’s one thing for a sixteen year old to claim “status”, but for eleven or twelve year olds? Nope....the authorities will get all over this, and some judge will have to sort out truths and half-truths.
The scouts? It’ll be a Doctor Phil episode every single day, which have boy scouts wanting female uniforms, then in-depth discussions over sexual activity, which will really worry parents in various troops, and various claims of sexual assault or rape during camp-outs.
If you ask me...it only creates a bigger mess in the end.
where, when, whom and how was this goofy poll conducted? I for one a former boy scout do not support this pop-in-jay ideological stance for gays in BSA. No way no how. The faggots can go to hell.
Unfortunately we who disagree will be called discriminatory. More crap of political correctness. Homosexuality is a choice. disgusting to expose young boys to the possibility of sodomy. Did not penn State University have a massive fallout because of a sports coach (football) had allegations and convictions against him for having inappropriate relations with Boys? What about the Catholic Church Dioceses throughout the USA and the payouts by the Church caused for dioceses to sell off large parcels of land and buildings?
Voters?
The Boy Scouts is not a political organization, office, etc.
Doesn’t matter what the heck voters want. How about parents of children that will be forced to be around perverts?
There’s only one poll that matters: the voting members of the Boy Scouts. This poll doesn’t cover members of the Boy Scouts, a private organization.
In America, the majority doesn’t trump our Right to Free Association.
We already know that a majority of voters are morons.
I do not believe a homosexual could make or keep this oath.
===Is it some sort of ego thing where people can’t accept that they have an opinion that’s in the minority?===
That questions goes both ways. The advocates for acceptance and now promotion of homosexuality were in the minority at one time.
