This move began way before 0bama...you have to go back to 1988 when women were permitted to register as LEADERS and in the ‘90s when BSA embraced political correctness...
And I didn’t say all women...moms have played a vital role in Scouting...and I did mention that I have worked with some who actually “get it”.
Liberalism has fought the BSA for years...they decided instead to infiltrate it and take it over from within.
This did not happen in 6 years, it has been ongoing for a couple of decades.
All the idiots who have been voting for the Democrat Party for the last forty years share a lot of the blame because of them their is a huge network of liberal judges throughout the country who will always side with the liberal view as soon as an ACLU lawyer comes to their courtroom and they do choose those judges deliberately—there is even a name for it “judge shopping”. The Democrat Party has openly taken the side of the gay agenda as well as Planned Parenthood since the 1970s. Democrat voters are brainwashed fools.
I have another friend who is a "professional scout" who handles the international scouting events. He told me that allowing gays in would be a disaster that would effect scouting all over the world.
Obama finally got his butt-buddy Gates in there to stir it up according to their liking. Well, now they got it all. I wonder how they are going to handle all the lawsuits that will be of their own making for allowing gays to mentor young boys.
So, it has been going on for a long time. They have finally won.
