Searched for a thread, but couldn't find one.

The Boy Scouts of America on Monday ended its ban on openly gay adult leaders.

But the new policy allows church-sponsored units to choose local unit leaders who share their precepts, even if that means restricting such positions to heterosexual men.

Despite this compromise, the Mormon Church said it might leave the organization anyway. Its stance surprised many and raised questions about whether other conservative sponsors, including the Roman Catholic Church, might follow suit.

I didn't go very far in scouting, but I know several people for whom it was a huge part of their community. I'm glad to see them opening that up more, but it's disappointing they had to compromise on this.
