“We will no longer tolerate our gay youth having to remain invisible out of fear. We are working to help create a society where gay (GLBT) and atheist youth will feel safe, accepted and loved for the beautiful individuals they are blessed to be.”
— Scouting For All Board of Directors, Members and Volunteers
Scouting for All held a rally yesterday morning outside Boy Scouts of America (BSA) headquarters to protest the organization’s discrimination policies. Speakers will protest BSA’s national policy, which specifically excludes youth who are gay, atheist or agnostic…as well as excluding children of GLBT and atheist parents.
Former Eagle Scout Mick Rabin explained, “(BSA) will never change the policy because it’s the correct thing to do or because it’s the ethical thing to do. They will only do it because it affects them where it hits them the worst, which is in the pocketbook.”
