BREAKING: Boy Scouts Make History By Voting To Allow Gays

?

At roughly 6:15 pm today, CNN reported that delegates to the annual meeting of the Boy Scouts of America voted to allow gays into their club. Apparently all those years of wearing matching clothes and neckerchiefs wasn’t in vain.

It seems the organization’s 1,400-member plus national council (that’s larger than?governmental?bodies in some Middle Eastern countries) voted for the historic shift in stated policy barring gays, ?which will take effect January 1.

No youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone,” says the approved resolution. (CNN)

Unfortunately, the ban still applies for adult leaders. After all, you can’t have the gay leading the gay around in the woods since that would just make nature super gay, and we would then have more?devastating?hurricanes and tornadoes. So alas, the Boy Scouts still don’t quite represent?every man,?but it’s most certainly a good start.
