I am glad to announce, as a straight Boy Scout, that gay scouts are finally going to be allowed into scouts. It is, however, not a total victory. Scouters over the age of 18 who are openly gay are still banned, which means that a gay scout who earned Eagle and was accepted as a youth member will be kicked out the moment he turns 18. There is also the fact that atheists are still not allowed, which is unfortunate, considering I will have to continue lying about the fact that I am an atheist in my troop.
