The Governor of the State of Washington Speaks Out Against the BSA's Policy of Discrimination

"The Boy Scouts of America is doing a great disservice to young people. These young men are feeling isolated, ostracized and looking for companionship and leadership. These young men should be embraced by the Boy Scouts, but they're not and it's absolutely wrong."
