I have a track on inside information re: this decision. I won't reveal my source, but the source tells me he/she has inside information and I trust him/her. He/she comes from the gay activist side of the issue.
Tells me that the LDS church is lobbying HARD to keep the gay ban and threatening to leave Scouting if the ban is lifted. But also says one of the LDS on the board supports lifting the ban.
Anyway, armageddon for LDS scouting is closer than I thought. I have had the foolish hope that cooler heads would prevail.
Maybe this intervening time will give LDS leaders more time to consider the repercussions of leaving scouting. And hopefully choose to continue with scouting.
