@gresch and lonecatyou both have wandered from the point. A gay mom was a boy scout leader for her young son (who probably doesn’t know if he’s gay or straight, and probably straight). She was tossed and her son was told he wasn’t welcome there.i would think the boy scouts, if they were true to their creed, would want to help this boy.as for marriage rights, it’s simple, the government in many states gives MARRIED heterosexual couples SPECIAL RIGHTS.so the choice is to rescind those SPECIAL RIGHTS FOR MARRIED HETEROSEXUAL COUPLES, or grant them to others who want to live in the same commitmentthe country has gone for the latter. Personally i don’t think the government has any business granting special rights, or even regulating marriage. I’m surprised that the religious wingnuts don’t take the correct side of the argument and work to get the government OUT of marriage.if people had no special rights associated with marriage, and marriage didn’t happen in secular locations then i don’t think there’d be any issues at all.
