A majority of American voters want the Boy Scouts to lift its ban against gay members and leaders, a new Quinnipiac poll finds.

The Boy Scouts of America announced last week that it was considering changing its policy of banning gay scouts and troop leaders. On Wednesday the organization said that decision would be delayed until a national meeting in May.

In the Quinnipiac poll, 55 percent of respondents said the scouts should drop the ban, while 33 percent said it should remain.

There is a significant gender gap in the results. Women back gay scouts by a 61 to 27 percent margin; among men it’s a narrower 49 to 39 percent margin.

Catholics are also far more likely than Protestants to support the inclusion of gay scouts.

I don’t believe the data.

But it’s irrelevant; I could start a private group that supports orange cats. There will be people who don’t like orange cats.

Well, @$%^ you. Start your own private group and do what you want.

There is a real evil in group-think that needs to be stood up to.

[Westbrook]

That’s fine.

Let them turn the Boy Scouts into a recruiting agency for gay predators. Just keep your kids and your money out of it.

Jennifer Tyrrell and her 7-year-old son, Cruz Burns. Tyrell was ousted as a den leader because she is a lesbian.

She's a LESBIAN?! NO WAY!!

A sign of the times maybe? The disintegration of the country continues.

[ataDude]

I agree with you... and your orange cats, too.

All I can say if this is true, “Where has my country gone?”

I’m sorry but I’m calling BULLSH** on this!!

If Lumpy Rutherford had a son...

[smoothsailing]

I’m not buying it, and I don’t care how hard the multi-culti leftist banshees try to force perversion on us.

Stand firm Scouts!

There is a huge difference between a member and a leader!!

A young man at age 10/12 is not sure of anything ,and poses no harm to anyone; but a scout leader ,who is a grown man that is gay is likley looking to prey on young targets that are very vulnerable.Not a good idea!

Got to wonder why lesbians want their children to have a “normal” life.

How many contradictions do you see in this.

[Fledermaus]

BS...what did they do, poll 15 metrosexuals in Manhattan?

[OKRA2012]

The BSA must stand strong and resist the the inclusion of gay Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts into their ranks.

Would these fools send their 13 year old daughters on on a overnight camping trip with a horny 18 year old boy as their scout leader?

Lord Robert Baden-Powell must be regurgitating in his grave.

Wonder where they did their polling?

I believe this. Because of the MSM Americans are completely unaware of the relationship between homosexual behavior and child abuse.
