"Intolerance" isn't the domain of the hetero community, it's very evident across the board (not this "board"). You can't say "We have the right to choose" or "We have the right to decide for ourselves" while denying that same freedom to others.
I don't recall any gay organizations denying membership to straights. Which ones do you know of?


If the gay community doesn't appreciate this decision, they are free to start their own organization that teaches the skills and values of the Boy Scouts of America.
Again, why is separation the answer? What is wrong with gay kids that they can't learn all of the good things that scouts teach straight kids? Gay kids go to church with straight kids. Gay kids go to school with straight kids. Gay kids go to war with straight kids. If scouts is the best thing for kids, let'em all learn.
