Thump, Thump

Did you see that the Boy Scouts of America has lifted the ban on gay scout masters?

There is all kinds of celebrations and high fives, but do you see anything about our trans brothers?

Boy Scouts of America’s Executive Committee Unanimously Approves End to Ban on Gay Adults

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, the Boy Scouts of America announced that the National  Executive Committee unanimously approved a resolution allowing gay adults to serve as employees and volunteers.  A vote by the National Executive Board, the Boy Scouts’ governing body, is set for July 27th.

Based on the BSA’s documents, the change would:

1. Eliminate the BSA’s across the board ban on openly gay or bisexual adults in scouting.
2. Allow each individual troop or unit to determine its own policy regarding the eligibility of openly gay or bisexual scoutmasters or other adult leaders.
3. Prohibit regional governing councils or non-Troop entities such as boy scouts camps from discriminating against employees and volunteers based on their sexual orientation.
4. Allow previously removed leaders to reapply for their positions.

That thumping that you hear are all tires running over us as the gays go out and celebrate the repeal.

As you read articles about this let’s see how many of them will say, “What about our trans brothers?”
