Synopsis
"To be physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight" - this is the Boy Scout pledge. Since 1910, millions of boys have joined. But today, if you are openly gay, you can't. Witness how a 12-year-old Boy Scout named Steven Cozza launches a campaign to overturn the Boy Scouts' anti-gay policy. From Petaluma, California to the Supreme Court, the film chronicles a modern interpretation of the scouting ideals of courage and honor.

Disgusting!
Disgusting that PBS would air a show attacking the Boy Scouts' principled resistance to homosexual perversion but, to my knowledge, never air shows affirming the BSA's longstanding contributions to the lives -- and the country, the USA -- of hundreds of thousands of Scouts. Apparently PBS and the so-called intellectual elites of the country won't "get it" that the deepest opposition to the public acceptance and promotion of homosexual behavior is the universal true moral knowledge that such behavior is against nature -- in no way good for the human species, its survival and flourishing.
