The board members who voted for this should be ousted. What they are potentially subjecting their members and leaders to is horrific. The GLBT advocates will never give up. They have their nose in the tent. No way they stop there.
Not going to happen. BSA National, i.e., the professionals in Irving, TX, have become subjects to their corporate donors who dominate the ~23 member National Executive Committee. The next National President will be elected at the annual National Council business meeting 1 year from now. It is expected to be Randall Stephenson, who is currently a V-P on the BSA National Executive Committee, and just happens to be CEO of AT&T. AT&T's corporate HQ is in Dallas, not far at all from BSA National HQ in Irving, TX. Randall Stephenson was very instrumental in making this membership rule change happen. Judging by the 61-39% vote, there are not enough conservative councils, out of ~ 294 total, to mount a credible effort to dumb the National Executive Committee.
