This Thursday, May 23, 2013, all 1,400 members of the Boy Scouts' National Council will converge in Dallas to vote on repealing the organization's long-standing ban on openly gay scouts and leaders. Equality Florida firmly rejects this discrimination and we need you to stand with us in urging the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) to end their ban.
Take action right now! Post the following to your Twitter and Facebook accounts, "I support equality in the #BoyScouts. End the ban on gay scouts and leaders!"
The BSA's ban on gay members and leaders has forced untold numbers of committed scouts, parents, and leaders out of the organization simply because of who they are.
Once you've posted your message of support, visit http://glaad.org/scouts where you'll find additional resources on how to show your support for a fully inclusive Boy Scouts of America.

Well, fully inclusive except for atheists, of course.

Kids are kids, leave all else out & focus on the kids, thats my motto.

(49,533 posts)3. Totally agree.
And while I fully support ending the ban on homosexuals, the "fully inclusive" language stings a little bit for me and my son. We will still not be welcome.
