USA- NY, NY: In a historic move, the Boy Scouts of America has volunteered to be among the groups leading the estimated parade crowd of 14,000 through Manhattan this Sunday.
It’s not clear what ramifications these New York area troops will face within their own organization for this action. The Boy Scouts of America organization has been wrestling with the issue of homosexuality in its members and leaders for the past year. Currently, they still enforce a ban on any ‘adult’ leader being gay but that could change as the BSA struggles to remain relevant and maintain membership numbers.
In any case – WTG, BSA troops of the NYC area for showing your courage! We appreciate your support as we move through Pride season!
