Boy Scouts fire 1st gay leader since policy fight

By: American Decency Staff

The Boy Scouts of America this week revoked the registration of a Seattle scoutmaster after he disclosed his sexual orientation to a reporter for a news story.

The decision prompted outcry from gay-rights supporters, who want the venerable youth-serving organization to admit openly homosexual adults as well as youth.

NBC News, who had been doing a story on Geoffrey McGrath, played a major role in “outing” him to BSA officials.
