Next stop: gay leaders.

You don't think they are already in the ranks?

If not, see the Catholic Church.

What happens when an openly homosexual scout earns all of his badges, becomes a decorated Eagle Scout, and wants to lead then be a Scout Leader? How will they reconcile this? The Boy Scouts have opened a can of worms they will regret.

I think the problem will be an ACLU battle(i.e. You let my son, who is gay, go on a campout. Why can’t his two fathers go along?) It will be discrimination, hate speech, or something like that. The writing is on the wall.

Yes. And the horse is now outta the barn so it’s only a matter of time til they’re fully accepting of all gays, not just members.
