heres the
rasha's statement
“Yesterday, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) formally revised its
membership standards, ending the organization’s ban on gay youths, but
maintaining its exclusion of gay and lesbian adult leaders.
“As the only openly-gay New York State Senator, a parent and a former
Eagle Scout (Troop 70, Lewisburg, WV), I am outraged that the BSA has
maintained its ban on gay adult leaders. This policy represents rank
discrimination by the organization against LGBT people and is extremely
painful to families like mine.
It’s inconceivable that an
organization that aims to prepare the next generation of leaders would
allow gay youth to join their program, but deny them the opportunity to
lead scout troops once adults.
Moreover, this stigma is
hurtful to young people, reinforcing and legitimizing the bullying and
alienation of our children that has led to tragic consequences,
including violence against members of the LGBT community.
I
strongly believe that the BSA is obliged by the Constitution of the
United States, longstanding state and local anti-discrimination laws and
the Scout Law itself to categorically end its policy of bigotry toward
gays and lesbians.
To that end, I have introduced legislation
(S.5170) that would deny tax-exempt status to all youth groups that
discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity or
expression, or other defining characteristics. It has been more than ten
years since New York State enacted the Sexual Orientation
Non-Discrimination Act (SONDA), and it’s long past time for the BSA to
comply and remove all barriers to participation based on sexual
orientation.”
call your legislator and tell them to vote against this evil bill
