They have "crossed the Rubicon."
Look, let me be clear. I do not propose that there will be an immediate infusion of 11 or 12 year old sodomites raping and pillaging other boys because of that decision.
I do propose that parents with agendas will raise hell about how "homophobic" the BSA is and that they are not sensitive and supportive of young Lance or young Lloyd.
Now that the camel has gotten his nose under the tent, BSA will, probably sooner than later, be required to modify their "Boy Scout Handbook" and troop training materials to accommodate this type of thing.
Let us assume that some poor, young boy who has been abused by his parents into thinking that he is a homosexual (how a 10 or 11 year old can be homosexual is beyond me, but I digress). His parents encourage him to "come out" to his troop. Then "boys will be boys" -- and he will get blasted. Do you not think that there will be a lawsuit? Calls for the BSA to be more "sensitive"? Changes to the curriculum? etc?
I don't care if the troop is in a Blue State or a Red State...it will happen (and, frankly, I can imagine it being engineered to happen specifically in a red state...as it would help the media narrative)

Yup... and there will be a requirement to earn this merit badge:
