RIHLA 27: Boy Scouts Accepts Individual Orientation

---

1. This particular event takes place in the United States of America.

2. The BSA, Boy Scouts of America, is the main leader of this movement

3. The article that is being most protected within the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is number two. Article two generally states that people should not be discriminated by individual status such as sex, language, opinion, etc. People should not be hated because of who they are and this article entitles everyone to their own opinions. The BSA has taken the action to accept homosexual members within its society.

4. I believe that the BSA has taken a gigantic leap towards the future within societies of both the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Transgender) and BSA organizations. I have never experienced such a momentous movement within the gay community for outreach and I applaud their efforts. However, I do have questions concerning situations such as how things would be set up within BSA such as sleeping arrangements during camping. In addition, I do wonder if some people will be repulsed by BSA's choice and immediately withdraw their children from such environments.
