(North Platte Post)-Yesterday (June 6th) The Boy Scouts of America confirmed a consideration of policy change that if accepted would allow openly gay people to serve in local chapters.

This daring movement sparked by activist Zach Wahls 20 year old author of the book My Two Moms: Lessons of Love, Strength, and What Makes a Family who has a strong standing on the issue of homosexual discrimination. Wahls is not a homosexual but was raised by two lesbian mothers, which has not negatively impacted his life and he wants the world to know.

Wahls delivered a testimony to the Iowa House Judiciary Committee. You can watch the video here on Youtube that has scored nearly 3,000,000 hits on Youtube.

Zach Wahls sparked the consideration of allowing gays into the scouts after collecting 275,000 petition signatures, then met with scout leadership. A task not easily done, though inspired when his mother had been kicked out of the Scouts as Den Leader for being a lesbian.

“I love the organisation and I refuse to stand by idly as it forfeits it’s cultural relevancy at the very moment this country needs it most” said Wahls.

What do you think about allowing gays to openly serve in the scouts? Feel free to leave comments here.
