Inside The Boy Scout Battle To Repeal The Gay Ban
Elizabeth Diaz of TIME delves into the campaigns of supporters and opponents of the Boy Scouts’ ban on gay members, which will come up for a vote this Thursday. Diaz writes, “Activists on both sides have been organizing for months. Gay rights groups like GLAAD and Scouts for Equality launched an intensive ground game, mobilizing eligible voters to support overturning the ban. The Family Research Council (FRC) and its allies like OnMyHonor.net, a group created by Florida lawyer and Eagle Scout John Stemberger, jumped in with a counter attack.”
