After vote allowing gay kids to become Boy Scouts, some families call it quits - U.S. News

Aaron Butler, the leader of his 8-year-old son Evan’s Cub Scout Wolf den in Roseau, Minn., said he didn't explain to his eldest son exactly why they were walking away from an organization they loved so much, but he told NBC News that it was because of last week's controversial decision by the Boy Scouts of America to allow gay youth to participate.

“It was a big disappointment. He cried for about 10 minutes because I told him that Boy Scouts were not honoring their own law," Butler said, referring to the BSA oath that he interpreted as barring gay people. "They say it -- 'On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep [myself] physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight,” he said.

Any family that truly values Christian morals will take their kids out.

That is too bad, at least they were wearing uniforms before so that I could identify them. All jokes aside, that sucks because it is the parents indoctrinating intolerance. That hurts us all.

Yes, I agree. When the votes were out, I predicted an exodus out of the BSA, and that seems to be happening.

There is nothing wrong in standing by your values. As a matter of fact, there is everything wrong in prostituting your values away just to appease a small group of people who will insult you if you don't.
