WASHINGTON Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday that the Irving-based Boy Scouts of America perpetuates the worst stereotypes by barring gay people from becoming Scout leaders.
The continuation of a policy that discriminates against gay adult leaders by an iconic American institution only preserves and perpetuates the worst kind of stereotypes, Holder said in a speech to the gay civil rights group Lambda Legal in Washington.
Holder did not announce any legal action against the Boy Scouts. A Supreme Court decision 14 years ago said the Scouts, as a private entity, had a right to discriminate against gays.
Last year the Irving, Texas-based organization softened its policy toward gays in a compromise move. After initially saying it intended to allow gays to serve as both Scouts and Scout leaders, it instead allowed openly gay boys to participate in Scouting but continued to prohibit those 18 and older from serving as leaders.
In an approach similar to the dont ask dont tell arrangement in place in the U.S. military until three years ago, the group has said it will dismiss gay leaders only if they publicly announce their sexual orientation.

You would think he has more pressing issues.
"The Man-Boy Camping Club of America"
Then let the market decide.
At least, that was the way it was supposed to be until the B.S.A. announced their compromise. Show me a boy who has to declare the he is "openly gay" and I'll show you one who cannot possibly keep the morally straight part of the scout oath.
B.S.A. needs to decide now if the scout oath is more important that Holder's perverted view of equality. It should be patently apparent by now that there is no room for compromise.
So you homosexuals and homosexual advocates have two options:
1. You keep it to yourselves and we leave you alone.
2. We make you leave us alone.
With all the horrific problems in this country, are we going to continue to let them steer the conversation to gays and race? Time to fight back, publish all of Holder’s anti-American antics, ask him why he’s focusing on the beliefs of a private group when the country’s going to hell in a handbasket.
This administration is pathetic
That oligarch’s boy Eric Holder, doing what he’s been told to do, destroy any vestige of the societal taboos which made America great. Morality is a hindrance to the globalist’s degeneracy.
This shows the utter foolishness of trying to accomdate the left. Nothing but complete capitulation is enough. The BSA though they’d take a “cut the baby in half” compromise to preserve their corporate funding and all they accomplished was to turn EVERYONE against them.
C’mon Holder....pick on someone you’re own size....

Gack!
Another once-great American institution is sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.
They will force it to accept gay scoutmasters, and no sensible parent will let their sons join.
One nation, indivisible, with faggotry and sodomy for all.
It is downright criminal that this cretin already hasn't been thrown the hell out of office (like his boss, but that's another issue)
I thought you all negros were against homosexuality, least that’s the crappola pushed by obammy and you all’s religious jargon.
Guess that’s a load of hooey.
LOOK! Squirrel!
Anything and I mean anything to take the eyes off of what this CRIMINAL administration is doing or has done.
Not that I give a crap about the BSA any longer, they destroyed themselves from within and willingly so.
Trail Life USA, not as big but based on solid Christian principles is the way to go for any true Conservatives out there.
Their poll numbers are going down so they have to get their base in a tizzy.
Get ready for more war on women crap to surface.
Parents just do not want ScoutMasters diddling the boys in their charge.
The perverted left has mainstreamed homosexuality now the next step to pedophilia has started with the Obama administration.
