ADF: Boy Scouts Capitulate to Homosexual Activists

From Alliance Defending Freedom:

“For over a century, the Boy Scouts have stood strong and represented the essence of what makes America great. Going against its longstanding membership policy, the Boy Scouts of America Executive Committee has now decided to push forward a resolution allowing members to be of any “sexual orientation or preference.” This is only the beginning of a sea change, as those promoting this agenda won’t rest until there is complete acceptance of any sexual preference for both leaders and members. This is no compromise; it is capitulation, plain and simple.
