This is not exactly a "gay marriage" issue, but it's an LGBT issue. Of course, I am not questioning the right of this organization to exist or to practice these policies. But what do you think? What kind of message does it send to children? Would you enroll your kids in it?
I fully supported the BSA in their inclusion of gay Scouts, and I did not understand the hypocrisy of the churches that disallowed BSA use of their space after the decision was made. BSA is not advocating homosexuality, just tolerance and coexistence among the Scouts. So unless those churches actively ban homosexual members from the congregation, they didn't have much of a place to ban BSA from their premises without seeming like whiny children who didn't get their way.
