Wisdom out of the mouths of babes.
My thought exactly. On the one hand it is a little dismaying to see a teenager holding the line better than the Boston BSA's adult leadership. On the other hand, if BSA is creating scouts of Zeiger's apparant caliber, then it's clearly doing something right. The heterophobes are using the Boston scout order to see if the national society will be amenable to being rolled over. Its surprising the BSA has held out as long as it has.
My guess is that the orders in the big liberal cities would be the most amenable to being flipped. Maybe at some point we'll see the Boy Scouts split into an orthodox and liberal camp.
I'm a little of surprised too that they've held out this long. Hopefully they'll continue to do so. The BSA looks more like an anachronism with each passing day, and God bless them for it.
