A Dallas dad was denied a position in his son’s Cub Scout group because he is gay.  As reported in The Advocate:

According to the Dallas Morning News, Jon Langbert learned this week that he would not be able to serve as a leader for his 9-year-old son’s Pack 70 at University Park Elementary after someone complained at a September meeting.

“He said he was told this week that he can’t wear the Scout leader shirt he was given last year and that he cannot serve in a leadership position because of his sexual orientation,” reported the News.

Cub Scout spokespeople said that Langbert would be allowed to continue in his role as a popcorn fundraiser, but Langbert said he may consider legal action. A 2000 Supreme Court decision upheld the Boy Scouts of America’s policy against gay or atheist leaders.
