BSA voted to allow gays in there, so why are they revoking the charter for someone having a gay scout leader? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That to me seems hypocritical on their part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its akin to having a single man in a campout with a bunch of girlscouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
