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 it’s a narrower 49 to 39 percent margin.
Catholics are also far more likely than Protestants to support the inclusion of gay scouts.

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.
