What really gets my goat is that in the UK the Scouts are quite content to have gay members and gay leaders. IN that haven of backward folk, the USA, thsi is not the case

But Philly is goingf after the BSA! Scroll down to read "Serves you right. In Philadelphia, Federal Judge Ronald L. Buckwalter ruled that their local Boy Scouts chapter must post a bond to protect the city if it plans to reside on city property rent free." at http://www.365gay.com/news/friday-watercooler-her-name-was-steven-and-more-oklahome-bigots/

I recommend this news site for excellent news from and about the issues that affect the LGBT community. I follow its RSS feed all the time.

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
