Churches sever ties with Scouts after gay youth vote

Posted: 05 Jun 2013 12:49 PM PDT

FILE - Boy Scouts line up before marching in the Utah Gay Pride Parade in Salt Lake City on Sunday, June 2, 2013. Members of Scouts for Equality marched in the parade following last week's vote by Boy Scouts of America to allow openly gay youth to participate in scouting. Scouts for Equality is made up of Scouting alumni advocating to end the BSA's ban on gay members and leaders. A few churches have moved swiftly to sever ties with the Boy Scouts of America in protest over the May 2013 vote to let openly gay boys participate in Scouting. To date, it's far from the mass defection that some conservatives had predicted before the vote by the BSA's National Council. But that may change, depending on the outcome of the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting in mid-June 2013 in Houston.
