Boy Scouts Kick Out Gay Leader’s Entire Troop

The Boy Scouts of America does not mess around when it comes to discriminating against gay adults. Geoff McGrath, who formed a troop in Seattle a few months after BSA lifted its ban on openly gay youth last year, was kicked out of the organization this month after NBC News contacted the local Boy Scout council while doing a profile on McGrath and alerted them to his homosexuality. McGrath refused to step down and now, BSA has revoked the charter for his troop because it—and the church that sponsors it—has chosen to stand behind him.
