The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation praised a potential move by the Boy Scouts of America to lift a national ban on gay members and leaders on Monday.
“The Boy Scouts of America have heard from scouts, corporations and millions of Americans that discriminating against gay scouts and scout leaders is wrong,” said GLAAD President Herndon Graddick in a statement. “Scouting is a valuable institution and this change will only strengthen its core principles of fairness and respect.”
According to NBC News, the policy change could be voted upon and enacted as early as next week.
