Based on your comments, I’m guessing the BSA now assumes that the protections in place must be so good that the last protection, NOT allowing homosexual scout leaders, is no longer a necessity. That might be a false assumption, but they have done it now, and the world has to react. On it’s face it appears to be the stupidest move the organization could have taken under the circumstances. Just what part of the under two percent of the population are they trying to appease, and why?
The percent supporting “rights” is WAY MORE THAN TWO PERCENT. Then there’s the major corporate sponsors or people willing to buy fundraiser items, and it’s not a small number either way.
I think you’ve arrived at about the only conclusion that can be drawn and I’ll say it’s definitely a false assumption because basic human nature says otherwise. Good comment on the 2%, too.
