Upset that the Boy Scouts of America has reaffirmed its policy to ban openly gay boys and scoutmasters from participating in scouting, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Thursday developed a special merit badge for gay want-to-be scouts who help fight cruelty to animals.
"It's just as important that gay boys get the opportunity to build character, develop personal fitness, and learn the responsibilities of citizenship--the things that the Boy Scouts of America says it aims to teach," said PETA.
