Scout troops are losing Disney's financial support over its continuing
ban on gay adult leaders. The Walt Disney Company currently donates to
some troops—though not the national organization—through an employee
volunteering program, the LA Times reports. Those donations will end next year, the AP
reports. "We’re never happy to see Scouting suffer as a result of the
BSA’s anti-gay policy, but Disney made the right decision to withhold
support until Scouting is fully inclusive," says Eagle Scout Zack Wahls, founder of Scouts for Equality.
Said
the Boy Scouts in a statement: "We believe every child deserves the
opportunity to be a part of the Scouting experience and we are
disappointed in this decision because it will impact our ability to
serve kids." Disney's decision emerged in a letter from a central
Florida Boy Scouts official to leaders and parents. The organization ended a ban on gay minors on Jan. 1, but gay adult leaders are still banned.
