Topic | Boy Scouts of America Will Require Eagle Scouts to Earn New Diversity Badge |
Wetterdew 06/18/20 9:53:51 PM #21: | When I was a teenager I went to numerous Boy Scout camps. The scout leaders were ragingly homophobic and passed it down to all of the kids. It was awful and I am gay. But I was too afraid to speak up about it even though it made me angry.. I remember one scout leader who was teaching a course on wildlife who started mocking a kid in front of the class for having a rainbow umbrella. BSA needs this. I think this was back when being openly gay meant you couldn't be an eagle scout (which I think they stopped enforcing a couple of years ago??) It might not fix their stupid toxic masculinity or racism, but they need it anyway because it will help at least a few kids. --- rip to all the animals killed in wildfires. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
