Originally posted at Mormon Newsroom:

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints responded Thursday to an indication by the Boy Scouts of America of possible policy changes in relation to gay Scout leaders by issuing the following statement:

We have noted the comments by Boy Scouts of America President Robert Gates in relation to possible policy changes in the Boy Scouts of America. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will, of course, examine any such changes very carefully to assess how they might impact our own century-long association with the BSA.

Well, this is a difficult task to leaders, I am glad I belong to a church where is handled by prophets having revelation, since this is really a difficult topic to discuss, But I hope they find an agreement where scouts do not loose the values and gay people dont feel rejected
