No. My opinion stays the same. I think the boy scouts must not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation- that's a protected class, and I agree it should be. Strict scrutiny does not apply to discriminating on the basis of who has children, so you could have a policy of not allowing scout leaders who do not have a child in a troop. I personally favor that kind of rule. I believe they have kept out some scouts who wanted to be in troops because they were gay. I think I've read of at least two cases. I'll see if I can find them. And I know there was an argument from a scout who didn't want to affirm the God thing, which is also a problem with the scouts, imo. Establishing and furthering religion is all well and good, but it isn't something the state should (imo) be involved in.

I'm not sure why you would think my opinion would have changed, since it was based on the principals involved and not the case you are talking about, but now you know.
