The link contained within is probably the better story - PR wise, shutting her down in that manner was an own goal. Letting her speak and spinning that as inclusive even though we disagree would've been far better on the optic front.
On the Boy Scout front though, deciding to move away whilst wishing them well as they become more exclusive? Aren't they in effect discriminating against their own membership on the risk the Boy Scouts could turn them gay? Or accepting there are gays within the ranks who might flourish in a less judgy environment?
Therefore, what's more important - belief or control?
