Re: Boy Scout Open Source

 I don't know if I speak for anyone else, but I despise the BSA. Their 
views on homosexuality and religion seem too exclusive to me. The fact 
they went to court to institutionalize discrimination makes them 
unacceptable. 

I have friends and family that are gay and it seems against the principles 
of freedom and inclusiveness of the open source / free software movement 
to support them unless they are equally open. 

Sorry for the contrarian position, but it is an important matter to me.
