								<description><![CDATA[Like many equality-minded Americans, I breathed a sigh of relief yesterday when I heard that the Boy Scouts of America's National Council had voted, by a landslide margin, to stop excluding gay kids from membership.

Yesterday's move by the Scouts was a landmark step in the direction of fairness and inclusivity, especially since it comes from an organization that's almost fetishized by the Religious Right as a symbol of "traditional" (read: exclusionary) American values. But it's still only a partial victory because the ban on gay adult scout leaders remains in place. In fact, the organization didn't consider repealing the gay adult scouting ban at all.

This sends the confusing message that gay scouts are only capable of upholding the ideals of the Scout Law -- which defines a scout as someone who is "trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent" -- until their 18th birthday; at that point, they're apparently no longer able to be kind, brave, clean, etc. and essentially receive a dishonorable discharge from the organization. 

Clearly, the Scouts have a lot of evolving left to do before they fully embrace equality. And let's not forget that we're only talking about gay scouts here. Trans people are still excluded from the Boy Scouts entirely.

Still, I thought it would be fairly self-evident that the end of a 103-year-old gay youth ban -- in a group that's a cultural touchstone of American life -- is something to applaud, affirm, and even celebrate. Judging by the reaction from some members of the LGBT community, though, it appears that I was wrong.

I've desperately tried to come up with something I want to write about, but so far all my head keeps saying is "Go buy stuff to grill out! Ask your friends if they'll still be in town! Make plans for Game of Thrones marathons, cook outs, and brunches with neighbors!"

And then I saw this.




I've lost all consideration for blogging. I'll be over here watching this cool-ass video of a zoetrope made out of chocolate for the rest of the day until it's time to go put burgers on the grill. 

What're you doing for the weekend?]]></description>
