Standing Up and Speaking Out is the Best Lesson You Can Give
Thank you for speaking out. As an Eagle Scout, who decades ago lived and breathed Scouting, I grew up and found my voice as a gay man. I hope one day, a new generation will transform the Boy Scouts into an organization worthy of respect. They stand in sharp contrast to the Girls Scouts who long ago took a stand against homophobia.
