I’ve been following the season of change at the Boy Scouts of America as they’ve grappled with allowing gay membership to their ranks. They settled on permitting gay teens — but not adults — in May 2013, triggering historic changes for one of the country’s most popular youth organizations. The debate continues over gay adults, who feel left out of the new era.
