Boy Scouts Reviewing Anti-Gay Ban 
----------------------------------


 
The Boy Scouts of America has announced it has begun discussing an end
to its longstanding ban on gay members and leaders. A spokesperson for
the group says the 103-year-old ban is currently under review and could
be reversed at a national board meeting next week. The move comes just
months after the Boy Scouts defiantly reaffirmed its ban after a
secretive two-year review.
