"No youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone"

1. This event is taking place all over the world.

2. The parents of scouts who are gay, scouts who are gay, but most importantly, the Boy Scouts of America.

3. The human right of no discrimination is being protected. Boy scouts who are gay are going to always be allowed to participate. There is going to be Scouts for everyone, with their sexual orientation not mattering.

4. My thoughts on this issue is that there is finally being some change made, and it is good change. There is a lot of discrimination in this world, and at times there is not a lot being done. I believe that there is not a lot being done, but it all starts with a small step. The solution I have is that gay leaders should be allowed as well. With gay parents/leaders not being allowed, it may be hard for children to understand certain things. Parents and leaders are role-models. Gay people are normal people.
