Second-hand reports on Facebook and elsewhere say that lines have been longer than ever at Chick-Fil-A restaurants over the past three days, so all the noise about the boycott may be backfiring a bit.
Say what you will; conservatives leaders are wicked good at mobilizing, and their followers are just as eager to be mobilized...
And to be clear... BSA views boys as asexual. The stance on orientation is with regard to adult leaders.
Many units have taken a "don't ask, don't tell" approach to orientation, and at least one council has done so as well. I'm of the opinion that is probably the right approach -- let units handle it on an individual basis.
That approach already works with the existing volunteers. I've seen first-hand where individuals of questionable character were not approved for membership, and I've seen volunteers kicked out for not living up to the standards that we're trying to teach the boys.
If character alone was the determining standard, this would be a non-issue.
That's just it, E; the message they're sending- tacit or not- is one that equates homosexuality with poor character.
A de facto DADT policy doesn't erase that.
While true that the majority of units in the US are chartered by Protestant, LDS, or Catholic churches...
Interesting...
What do you call it?

Individual politicians advocating for (or pandering to) their respective constituencies?
