A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I attended Boy Scout meetings at a neighborhood public school in Oakland,
Now, my particular troop probably wouldn’t have batted an eye if a gay mother or father had volunteered for a leadership position in the troop. I grew up next to a gay couple. It just wasn’t a big deal, and nothing in the Scout paperwork or programming asked anyone at the time about their sexual orientation.
As someone who lost their father when they were young, I always appreciated Scouts as a place where I could watch other Scouts interact with their fathers and do father-son things in a welcoming environment. It reminded me that life goes on and a better future awaits.
