> If you want to learn how to measure the vast distance between “tolerance” and “acceptance,” join the Boy Scouts of America. Yesterday, 61% of 1,400 voting members of the BSA’s National Council voted to “remove the restriction denying membership to youth on the basis of sexual orientation alone.” Before you start writing “thank you” letters though, read on. The official statement, released this afternoon continues, “A change to the current membership policy for adult leaders was not under consideration; thus, the policy for adults remains in place.”

What makes the BSA’s statement so galling is how it deftly attempts to sidestep the blatant hatred and disdain of gay people packed in between the lines. Instead of sending a clear message that all boys, gay, straight and in-between, should to be embraced as well as introduced to the kinds of role models BSA is in the business of fashioning, the organization’s National Council has chosen instead to further the idea that gay adults are pariahs and paedophiles.

That’s just about as logical as Canada’s recent decision to end its anti-gay blood donation ban: gay men can donate blood there now, as long as they haven’t had sex with another man in the last five years. In both cases, the subtext is that gay people, ultimately, are dirty – innately & unforgivably. We will be tolerated but not, at least for now, truly welcome.

e, per adesso, un passo nella giusta direzione oltreoceano è stato mosso:
Fuori i CDP, dentro gli Open-Minded.

Spiace che, a farne le spese siano i figli dei bigotti incartapecoriti, come pure la preclusione tra le fila delle nuove matricole al possibile ruolo di guida; ciononostante, col tempo, i diretti interessati potrebbero riuscire a far saltare persino questa ingiustificata restrizione rimasta, ora che il vento soffia a loro favore.
