This article really is not surprising to me that some groups, especially religious groups, are deciding to not participate in the Boy Scouts anymore. Most Church groups do not believe in gay marriage and consider it a sin to engage in such acts. This article explains how Baptists from Arkansas are making the decision to discontinue their ties with the Boy Scouts of America after their decision to lift the ban on gay individuals being allowed as troop leaders. The article goes on to say that Southern Baptists are going to be leaving the Boy Scouts in huge numbers because of the recent decision. Most Baptists are saying that it isn't because of hatred towards gay people, but because of a moral stance in their religion.
