The title says it all. Basically, while probably most of America was at a bar, gripping their trusty mug of beer with one hand, a slice of pizza in the other, glueing their eyes to watch strong tough men try to take a ball across a large field without being brutally slaughtered by other tough strong men, on sunday, Obama was in a pre-Big Game interview where he stated that gays should be allowed into the Boy Scouts. He also said something about women and the military but that's not important. Rather let's talk about Gay Boy Scouts.
For a long time, homosexuals have been banned from the boy scouts, whether for ethical or religious reasons. Only a few months ago, the Boy Scouts re-established their no-gay boy scouts, but now are discussing the possibility.
"My attitude is that gays and lesbians should have access and opportunity the same way everybody else does in every institution and walk of life," Obama declares. "The Scouts are a great institution that are promoting young people and exposing them to opportunities and leadership that will serve people for the rest of their lives. And I think nobody should be barred from that."
While this does not directly focus on religion, the question comes to wheter or not this change could be a response to the recent pressure from the Roman Catholic Church regarding LGBT relationships and Homosexuals in general.
