It should be noted that there was no "law" passed. The Boy Scouts, as a private organization, has decided to change it's own rules to allow ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs to be members but not scout leaders. The rule goes into effect, I'm told, on 1 January 2014.
A friend of mine who has been very active in Boy Scouts for years has already said that he will be leaving the organization next January if something does not change between now and then. He also does not believe that the prohibition against sodomite Scout Leaders will be able to be maintained after this attempt at compromise. He certainly does not want his children sitting around a campfire and have someone talk about a "positive ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ experience" with them. He is greatly saddened by the decision of the Boy Scout leadership and believes the Boy Scouts will virtually disappear within a few years. His older sons are Eagle Scouts and his younger sons have been in Scouts, pretty much, all their lives.
On the other hand, from my perspective, I have never been a fan of the Boy Scouts. I have found their rules on religion to clearly be Freemasonic in nature. Atheists are not welcome in the Boy Scouts (officially, anyway), but it makes no difference what God one believes in, as long as one will profess belief in a Supreme Being of some kind. So their capitulation to the sodomite lobby does not surprise me even though the leaders must know that they are signing the death warrant of the organization. They are simply showing, I think, their true colors and demonstrating that the organization is Satanic. Catholics, I think, should not be members of the Boy Scouts of America. The recent changes in the rules simply confirm this.
