Boy Scouts May End Ban on Gays

NBC News reports that the Boy Scouts of America “is actively considering an end to its decades-long policy
of banning gay scouts or scout leaders.”

“If adopted by the organization’s board of directors, it would
represent a profound change on an issue that has been highly
controversial — one that even went to the US Supreme Court. The new
policy, now under discussion, would eliminate the ban from the national
organization’s rules, leaving local sponsoring organizations free to
decide for themselves whether to admit gay scouts.”
