Last week it was announced that the Boy Scouts of America was reconsidering its policy barring openly gay people from participating in the private organization, but just days later announced it was postponing the decision.

That the group was considering the change after taking the issue all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, where it won its case, was a surprise to many.

We'd like to know what you think about this issue. While the organization is legally entitled to keep gays from its ranks, should they?
