What disgusting behavior. But I expect it from these people.

"These people"?
Are you some kind of racist?

"These people" indeed.

I believe cities have a right to ban whatever groups they choose.

"Guerlain said he does not want any organization that discriminates to get the city’s endorsement"

Isn't "the city" discriminating against the Boy Scouts based on their beliefs?

There is lots of controversy about that policy from the rank and file. Many, many of us vehemently disagree with National Council's decision, but we've chosen to stay with BSA in the hopes that our continued dissent as members in good standing will bear fruit. We are not giving up and walking away, because we know that our power to effect change diminishes significantly if we leave the organization. As such, I strongly oppose Montpelier's action, even as I sympathize with the frustration that led to it.
