More Men Join the Ranks of Former Eagle Scout
At Boing Boing, Maggie Koerth-Baker reports on former Eagle Scouts sending their awards back to the Boy Scouts of America in protest of the organization’s policy of excluding gays from joining. Baker posts 13 letters by Eagle Scouts returning their awards. Her husband, also an Eagle Scout, returned his award and wrote, “[B]anning openly gay scouts and leaders is not a neutral position any more than separate-but-equal was a neutral position on race.”
