“This was a matter of personal importance to Tillerson, an Eagle Scout and recent president of the BSA from 2010 to 2012. “

Well this Life Scout (one level below Eagle) completely disagrees with that.
I am VERY disappointed with the Boy Scouts.
They in my humble opinion, utterly sold out. And I really don’t think this guy should be blabbering on this way.
I am all for gay rights, but not in the Boy Scouts.
I am just not in favor of this. Completely, and totally, opposed.
Tillerson is a seasoned business executive who understood that the gays and liberals who have successfully used conservative laws against us over the last 50 years, would ultimately financially destroy the Boy Scouts with endless litigation and using good business judgment decided that the Boy Scouts should not be financially destroyed. As a former Executive Director of 4 large and important law firms, I know exactly what the Boy Scouts were facing and I agree with Tillerson's decision.
For you disbelievers about this man, there was a thread on FR in the last 2 weeks from a woman who sat on a jury with Tillerson (who btw was elected Jury Foreman) who resisted a potential hung jury in a child abuse case and managed to convict the bastard who abused a young girl. The woman who authored the thread chose to follow the young girl who was in therapy. The author found out that the non-profit providing therapy for the young girl needed more funding. The author found Tillerson's email and asked him to help the charity. Within a few days, the head of the charity contacted the author to let her know that the charity had received a huge anonymous donation! Think on that for a few moments before writing off Tillerson before he even starts!
