Boy Scouts say they need more time to reconsider ban on gay scouts. Wait, isn’t their motto “be prepared”? http://bit.ly/WubiMp

If the BSA will just wait one week the Tea Party Conservative Entertainment Media machine will find something new to panic over. Then the BSA can allow local control of the issue to go forth without anyone caring.

Heh. I’m so over the Boy Scouts (ever since they claimed the #1 Anti-Gay Bigot Award from the Supreme Court), and it seems like they’ve become little more than a private Christian brainwashing organization for boys at any rate, but thousands of gay boys get pushed into it before they realize they are gay, so I’d still welcome the change–if it does come.
