I think this is the time to let things rest for a while. The BSA will soon realize that their mission and operations are not negatively affected by this change. Over time they will realize that it is possible to manage behavior o scout leaders without respect to whether they are straight or gay. It is an evolution. I am just glad that openly gay boys or those who may be gay but dealing with coming out will not see the proscription of the BSA as another reason to stay in the close.
