This Mother's Day, Let's Tell the Boy Scouts of America That It's Time to Respect All Mothers
Category: QUEER VOICES
Last month, the Boy Scouts of America notified me that I would no longer be allowed to serve as leader of my son's Scouts troop, because I'm gay and pose a "distraction" to the Scouts' core values. This Mother's Day, I have a message for the Boy Scouts: I am a mother, not a distraction.
