Boy Scouts of America End Total Ban on Gay Adults
posted on July 28, 2015The Associated Press’s David Crary reports that the Boy Scouts of America voted on Monday to end its blanket ban on gay adult leaders, while permitting church-sponsored Scout units to continue the exclusions for religious reasons. However, the exemption “has not satisfied some conservative church leaders,” Crary writes. Notably, the National Catholic Committee on Scouting “conveyed a reluctance to accept participation by anyone who engaged in sexual conduct outside of a heterosexual marriage.”
