Boy Scouts Gay Scout Policy on Access Utah Thursday

 

The Boy Scouts of America is proposing a compromise.  They are prepared to allow gay youths to join, while continuing to bar gay leaders. BSA is preparing to vote on the proposal later this month.  The plan has received the backing of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, BSA’s top sponsoring organization.

Thursday on Access Utah we’ll ask you what you think. Is this a good compromise? Should BSA keep its current policy in place? Should they lift their ban on gay leaders? What about the previous proposal to allow local charter organizations to decide what to do?
