Boy Scouts Lifting the Ban On Gays


Boy scouts have postponed the decision of admitting openly Gay people from participating from joining in Boy Scouts. They talked about lifting the ban of gays last week, but on Wednesday they said that they will postpone the lifting on the ban until May. Other scout leaders and parents said a fracture between traditional scout councils and liberal ones could create walls. Troops still banning gays disdaining gay led troops, and vice versa, could open the door to a new way to look at the differences and diversity of them.  “In a free society, organizations fail or flourish according to private choices of innumerable families,” the Boy Scouts said in a brief to the US Supreme Court in 2000.
