Queer folk were excluded from the BSA until recently. The irony of excluding people here due to their sexual orientation would likely be counterproductive.  I like the idea of an organization that accepts everyone for who they truly are and has a goal of building up kids' self esteem in order to better prepare them for life, while teaching understanding and respect for one another.

Yes i do agree on that, i am glad the BSA is more accepting of queer folks.  And im unsure what you mean by sexual orientation?  And yes i would love to have some organization thats like the BSA and the GSA that accepts all not just male or female.
