Should Obama resign as honorary president of the Boy Scouts of America?

“No. He should try to change their [antigay] policy from within. I strongly oppose the Scouts’ exclusion of gays. The Scouts definitely should change their policy. But at least Obama doesn’t personally support [the policy]. If he did, he should resign as president of the United States.”

“First, he should try to get the Scouts to accept gays. If that doesn’t work, then he should resign. He’s the president of the United States. He shouldn’t be associated with discrimination. There’s no good reason why gays shouldn’t be allowed to participate in the Boy Scouts.”

“No. Sometimes less is more. Pressuring Obama to resign comes across as petulant on the part of activists. It’s making too much noise. If the LGBT community isn’t welcome in the organization, then move on. Make your own group. Don’t keep harping on the Scouts.”
