Boy Scout Hazed, Bullied and Denied Eagle Scout Rank Because He’s Gay

[Kolesar]

1. I have torn loyalty

My Boy Scout troop was a positive influence on my fatherless classmate who had emotional problems. It gave him something to belong to and a leadership and development challenge. My friend Don was *way* better for it. I would love to see that kind of Scouting survive. I cannot countenance a program that cannot seem to look past a gay outsider's differences.

I don't fund Scouting. Something tells me we should flush the whole program on account of what these 21st century wingnuts have done to the program.
