Re: In today's news...
Actually, they're trying to respond to social pressure without alienating their support base. BSA runs (insofar as I know) as a not-for-profit; it's run mostly by volunteers, funded mostly by donations, and meetings are held where they're allowed to be which means mostly churches and schools. I'm pretty sure they're not trying to do what's right, but what'll be least harmful to the program and therefore have less negative impact on the youth in the program. There are groups that have pulled support in anticipation of the decision being made because they want no part of the fallout that'll come. It's not as simple as everybody seems to think it is.
This is like putting up a door with only the top hinge. Are they afraid that homosexual leaders will influence scouts to become gay? Or are they perpetrating the ridiculous idea that homosexuals are also pedophiles?
