Boy Scouts Keeps Gay Ban After Secret Review

The Boy Scouts are keeping a controversial ban following a multi-year review of the practice.

FOX News Radio’s Lilian Woo reports:

Audio clip:

The Boy Scouts of America, emphatically reaffirming its policy of excluding gays after a confidential two-year review.  The organization’s national spokesman, saying a special committee concluded it is absolutely the best policy for the Boy Scouts – which the Supreme Court has sided with, saying the organization is exempt from state laws that bar anti-gay discrimination. 

The head of the largest U.S. gay rights group, the Human Rights Campaign, saying the leaders of the Boy Scouts have chosen to teach young people division and intolerance.

    Considering that gays in the boy scouts have had a history of abusing their position and abusing the young boys I can see why the scouts continue this practice. It may not be all gay people, but the few will ruin things for the many. You can build years making a good reputation, and lose it all with one bad decision or action.
