After a confidential two-year review, the Boy Scouts of America on
Tuesday emphatically reaffirmed its policy of excluding gays, angering
critics who hoped that relentless protest campaigns might lead to
change.
The Scouts cited support from parents as a key reason for keeping the
policy and expressed hope that the prolonged debate over it might now
subside. Bitter reactions from gay-rights activists suggested that
result was unlikely.
The Scouts' national spokesman, Deron Smith, told The Associated
Press that an 11-member special committee, formed discreetly by top
Scout leaders in 2010, came to the conclusion that the exclusion policy
"is absolutely the best policy" for the 102-year-old organization.

Thank goodness. I've got nothing against homosexuals. But it is absolutely the best policy with regards to the Scouts.
This is a good time to affirm your beliefs. Donate to your local Boy Scout organization generously!
Reward them for the goodness, righteousness and integrity they work to achieve.
This is the same organization that keeps "perversion files" of leaders (heterosexuals) that have been known to abuse their scouts.
They can start their organization and call it Gay Scouts of America
at least there is someone to stand up to Gay's... everyone else is afraid of the in-moral back door idiots.
Gays-leave the Boy Scouts alone please. Can't you go protest something really worthwhile like people eating goose liver or drinking Big Gulps. Or try this-stay home and do whatever disgusting things you are already doing to each other and keep it to yourselves.
