Poll: Most support lifting ban on gay Boy Scouts

The vast majority of Americans are proponents of the Boy Scouts of America’s proposal to allow gay scouts into the organization and oppose banning gay adults from joining the organization as leaders, reports the Washington Post.
“In the new poll, 63 percent of Americans support allowing gay scouts to join, and the public opposes the plan to continue to ban gay adults from Boy Scout leadership by a 56 to 39 percent margin,” according to the Post. “The results contrast with a USA Today/Gallup poll last year, where only 42 percent said openly gay adults should be able to serve as leaders.”
