Gayism, Scouting, 21st Century

The Boy Scouts of America on Monday ended its ban on openly gay adult leaders. But the new policy allows church-sponsored units to choose local unit leaders who share their precepts, even if that means restricting such positions to heterosexual men. Despite this compromise, the Mormon Church said it might leave the organization anyway. Its stance surprised many and raised questions about whether other conservative sponsors, including the Roman Catholic Church, might follow suit. Mark Goldfeder, a senior fellow at the Center for the Study of Law and Religion at Emory University School of Law, said that by ending the ban at a national level but allowing religious groups to retain exemptions based on personal beliefs, the Boy Scouts were striking "a very good balance." The change shields the national organization from lawsuits, he said, and shifts questions of discrimination onto local groups. "They've taken a good step forward in the conversation about accommodations," he said."The mission of the Boy Scouts is to prepare our nation's young people to become responsible citizens and leaders," she said. "What better way to do that than to give them the ability to learn from a diverse group of adults and role models?" To match the diverse global culture, do you think Kenya or Africa in large should embrace Gayism, what do you think considering it is refereed  to 21st Century Cukture?
