An American Dream Article

Boy Scouts Petition Against Gay Hate

The Boy Scouts of America group get a petition signed, through Change.org, against the hate of gay boy scouts in the organization. More than 1.4 million signatures were signed on this petition to end the banning of openly gay leaders in the Boy Scouts of America. These signatures were delivered through Jennifer Tyrrell (a former gay den leader), Greg Bourke (former gay scout master), Will Oliver (gay Eagle Scout) and his two straight Eagle Scout brothers  Eric Andresen and Ryan Andresen. These boxes of signatures were delivered  to the Boy Scouts National Headquarters in Dallas, Texas where they were holding a meeting for all the leaders. Jennifer Tyrrell launched this petition on Change.org in April was she outsted as the den leader of her son's boy scout because she is a lesbian. This shows the American Dream because a part of the American Dream is the pursuit of happiness and the Boy Scouts of America is like a club for young boys to attend and learn skills while having fun, and not being able to be a part of this because of their own personal sexual orientation is not something that should be allowed especially because it has caused no harm to anyone in the past and is no threat in the future. The fact that only openly gay boys are banned is obsurd because there are secretly gay males still enrolled in the Boy Scouts of America and they have not been kicked out, why? Because you simply cannot tell the difference between a gay and straight person by looks, only if they acknowlege it to you.
