A board member for an Ohio regional Boy Scouts group who resigned to protest the removal of a lesbian den mother said he wants the national organization to review its ban on gays.
The Boy Scouts of America's policy of not allowing gays within its ranks has been debated for more than a decade since being upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. It is facing renewed questioning in Ohio after Jennifer Tyrrell, the mother of a 7-year-old scout, was thrown out in April.

Your comment about being thrown out after being found out.....
if found out the soldiers were still discharged.
...made me think of this piece on the den mother.
I think it is time to address all the discrimination that goes on against GLBT people. How is it any different if the boy scouts would say no black or Jewish den mothers?
This, gay rights, should probably be its own topic, though I feel it is a non-topic unless somebody can explain how it is not discrimination to exclude gay people from the Boy Scouts, essetially they still operate under a type of don't tell policy.
It also applies to atheist.

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA), one of the largest private youth organizations in the United States, has policies which prohibit atheists and agnostics from membership in its Scouting program, and prohibit "avowed" homosexual people from leadership roles in its Scouting program as directly violating its fundamental principles and tenets. BSA has denied or revoked membership status or leadership positions of youths and adults for violation of these foundational principles.

ABE.... based on who can and can't be a boy scout I don't see much difference in them and the KKK or other white supremacy type groups. Homeland security should watch these deviants....
