They're a little behind but they did it. *'bout time. *When I was in Scouts, I had no doubt two of my scout leaders were gay, but they never did anything wrong that I ever saw. Anyway, glad they finally got around to it. They have exceptions for religious sponsored troops - they can keep the ban - and I'm ok with that. *I mean, if it's part of their religion, and they're paying the $$$ to keep that troop going, well, they can set a few extra rules. *Their money. But for most Troops, orientation doesn't matter anymore. *It never should have mattered, becauseyou're not supposed to be orienting anything in Boy Scouts except maybe a compass and a map Sheesh. *I think the ban was a hold-over from the 80s hysteria anyway. *Oh and the 90s hysteria. *Oh, and the 00s hysteria.
