Who is president of the Boy Scouts of America? Brother Perry, LDS, Mormons

I don't know if I can ref. this GD post here, but I thought it important enough to give it a try. It's no wonder the Boy Scouts of America is so bigoted toward gays, no wonder at all.

wing religious operative. What a shame it was allowed to be hijacked. I wonder how many BSA members really know what is going on ... and I wonder how many in the general public really know. I bet a lot of people are in the dark.

and not once did I see where they had allowed a minority child into the group. A friend that is Indian said the whites there spit on him when he asked if his son could join.
