Over the last year years, the gay community in America has reached many milestones; more states are allowing gay marriage, Don't Ask Don't Tell has been abolished and now the Boy Scouts may soon change its ways.
Harrisburg Controller Dan Miller says it is a great step forward. "I think it's a great step in the right direction. It shows the level of progress in our society."
Miller is the Harrisburg City Controller who's running for mayor, and he's openly gay. He says the recent news surrounding the Boy Scouts is something he's been waiting years for.
On Monday, the Boy Scouts of America announced it is considering ending the nationwide ban on gays as scouts or leaders. The move, if adopted, would allow individual troops to decide if gays should be accepted.
"I'm not against the Boy Scouts. In fact, I was a Cub Scout when I was young." Miller explained "And I'm glad to see that organization prosper and I'm glad to see the move in the right direction so there's equality for everyone."
It's being reported, the Scouts' national board may approve the measure next week.
