I am so over this boy scouting thing. I can not understand why anyone would expose their sons to bigotry, and support it with their time and money. I am sick of people asking me why my boys are not scouts, and having to come out over and over again. I am 34, I came out at 17, sometimes being queer sucks. I hate that I am passed as straight against my will all the time, and I hate that I know people both online and in real life who think it's fine to be involved in something that my family is not welcome at. I am not allowed to be a fucking den mother because my gay might run off on the kids. It makes me ill.

We need to find some localish alternative for our boys.  Right now, I'm just grateful that Mike takes no initiative - he was heavily involved in BSA, and I know Ronin has an interest in scouting. I've always been afraid he would sign him up. It's such a fucked up policy.

Look for Campfire USA or Navigators USA.
