recently my friend came out that he was gay and he was in boy scouts. however when his troop found out they asked to leave because they said he was disrespecting religion. how is that possible? im organizing a protest against the boy scouts for promoting racism and biased views.

That's sad. Exactly how is it the Boy Scouts' place to tell people how to live their lives? I think I must've missed that. So what kind of stuff are you doing to help "right this wrong"?

I'm not accusing you of inautheniticity, but here goes...    1. As to the title- don't ask don't tell is a policy enacted by Bill Clinton and only applies to gays in the U.S. military.    2. The Boy Scouts are not affiliated with any religion, so I don't see why they would ban this kid for religious reasons.    3. The Boy Scouts are known for discriminating adult gays (for instance by banning them from troop leadership) but this would be the first instance of them banning a kid.    Overall, I think you should be sure your friend's story is streight. And, if it is, you should contact the media: because you have quite a story on your hands. Were these comments helpful to you?     Report as inappopriate
