Issue: Did Boy Scouts Make the Right Move on Halfway Gay Ban?

The state Senate on Wednesday passed a bill 27-9 that would strip the Boy Scouts of nonprofit status because it doesn’t allow gay adult leaders.

As Huffington Post reported: The Boy Scouts of America ended its longtime ban on openly gay Scouts earlier this month, but the 103-year old organization continues to bar gay Scout leaders.

"While the Boy Scouts of America took a step in the right direction to include LGBT youth, the standing ban on LGBT adults is premised on absurd assumptions and stereotypes that perpetuate homophobia and ignorance," said  Ricardo Lara, a Long Beach Democrat who became the first openly gay person of color elected to the state Senate in 2011.

"Equality doesn't come with an expiration date and we shouldn’t allow discrimination to be subsidized; not in our state, not on our dime."

By trying to please both sides, did the BSA in effect chop the baby in half?  Should the Boy Scouts have ended all gay discrimination or stuck to its guns and kept ban on all gay youngsters and adults? Share your thoughts in the comments.
