Boy Scouts open ranks to gay members (by telegraphtv)

In a press conference earlier today, Zach Wahls speaks out on the Boy Scouts’ policy regarding LGBT scouts and leaders.

Zach is an amazing speaker and has been on national media spearheading the movement towards full LGBT inclusion within the Scouts at the young age of 19. If you would like to have him on your campus, get in touch with us.

Unfortunately, I am reminded that hate and ignorance still reside with us in NYC as well as the rest of the country and the world.- Emanuel Xavier

Passage

Had they known I was gay they would have killed me
None of my poems about peace and unity
would have kept me whole
My thick skin, my loud mouth, my anger, my fists
The God above who watches over everything
Nothing would have prevented death
The redefining of machismo taught by fathers they never even met MORE
