- Opening the door to gay boy scouts
In a quiet flex of muscle, with the hope that the sheer size of their cities
signals an urgent need for compromise, nine council presidents and board
chairmans, including the chairman of Boston's Minuteman Council, have petitioned
the Boy Scouts of America to open up its policy banning gay Scouts.

- Only 'illegal'
discrimination is anathema to United Way
The United Way blinked. In the end, when it came time to demand that SouthCoast
member organizations sign an anti-discrimination pledge, the United Way
gave the Boy Scouts of America an escape hatch: The United Way pledge only
prohibits discrimination that is illegal.

- Separation
Of Church and Scouts
Across the country, congregations and families are wrestling with the clash
between their egalitarian religious values and their attachment to the Boy
Scouts. The current edition of the New Haven (CT) Advocate features
how several UU congregations are handling this relationship in the wake
of the James Dale ruling by the US Supreme Court.
