IRVING, Texas (AP) - The Boy Scouts of America put off a decision Wednesday on whether to lift its ban on gay members and leaders, saying the question will be taken up at the organization's national meeting in May.

"After careful consideration and extensive dialogue within the Scouting family, along with comments from those outside the organization, the volunteer officers of the Boy Scouts of America's National Executive Board concluded that due to the complexity of this issue, the organization needs time for a more deliberate review of its membership policy," Deron Smith, the BSA director of public relations, said in a statement.

Smith said the organization's national executive board will prepare a resolution for the 1,400 voting members of the national council to consider. The annual meeting will take place in May, 2013, in Grapevine, Texas.

Kay Godfrey, a spokesman for the Great Salt Lake Council of the Boy Scouts of America weighed in with a local perspective.

"We're certainly encouraged by our national executive board — their decision to delay the vote," Godfrey said on KSL's Mornings with Grant and Amanda. "We actually hope that we'll now have a forum of some sort so we can better understand what's taken place these last few days, and perhaps an invitation to engage in a discussion on this issue in the future. That's what we want."

"We hope that some sort of committee opportunity might be available to us. One way or the other, having delayed this decision, at least gives some time for more open dialogue."

It's a prime illustration of the evils of social democracy a.k.a. "keep counting the vote until you win". It is time for Turley and Stephenson to be voted out because they will bring this issue up year after year until enough of the mentally weak and unstable will vote for it just to shut them up.
