A sweet (and slightly bitter) victory today: gay boys are allowed to be scouts, but gay adults are still prohibited from serving as scout leaders. We will keep advocating for full equality...

This was huge step forward for the Boy Scouts of America and for gay boys everywhere in America.

However, it is obviously unfair to accept openly gay scouts and then kick them out of scouting once they become adults and want to continue on as scout leaders.  What is the logic of that?  This policy change was obviously a political compromise meant to buy time for the Boy Scouts of America organization, which is caught between the pro-equality forces and social conservatives.

Tonight, I am going to celebrate this news with a good Belgium beer.  I am happy to be one of 1.8 million activists who stood up and fought against this unjust policy.

And tomorrow, we will be back, fighting for complete equality. And, eventually, we will win because we have love and more energy on our side! I am sure of it.
