Help GLAAD end the ban on gay leadership and troops in the Boy Scouts
In May 2013, 1400 members of the Boy Scouts' National Council will converge in Dallas to vote on a resolution critical to the Boy Scouts' longstanding ban on gay members.
Now, more than ever, your community needs to hear from you about why gay youth and parents should be able to participate in the Boy Scouts. The voting members of the Boy Scouts National Council are your neighbors, and how they vote depends on the feedback of their community.
