"The Boy Scouts of America still supports an untenable, unreasonable and unnecessary discriminatory policy by excluding gay leaders and staff members," said Roy Speckhardt, executive director of the American Humanist Association. "If the Boy Scouts are truly a values-based organization, bigotry can't be part of the program."
Speckhardt added, "In addition to ending all anti-gay policies, the Boy Scouts should also open their doors to those without a religious affiliation. Their national policy of discrimination against humanists and atheists, like the anti-gay policy, needlessly shuts out millions of Americans."
