Group says no to avowed homosexuals

Boy Scouts lauded for continuing ban on openly gay members
This story by Catholic News Agency shows the Scouts maintaining what is a difficult line to hold these days. In this they are being supported by the Family Research Council.

The Boy Scouts of America has drawn praise for upholding a policy of prohibiting openly homosexual leaders and members, in order to align with its founding principles and respect the role of parents in educating their own children.

"The vast majority of the parents of youth we serve value their right to address issues of same-sex orientation within their family, with spiritual advisers, and at the appropriate time and in the right setting," said Bob Mazzuca, Chief Scout Executive.
