The lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities had a lot to celebrate in 2014 with amazing legislative and judicial victories as well as cultural ones. While there are truly countless victories that I could mention, here are some of the highlights:
Boy Scouts Welcome Gay Youth
The year started out with a bang when the new policy for the Boy Scouts of America took effect allowing openly gay youth to become members. However, approving gay youth membership was just the beginning as the organization still bans gay leaders and adults from the organization. The goal for 2015 is to remove the anti-gay policy altogether, and several hard-hitting organizations will see to it—like The Walt Disney Co. for instance, which has threatened that it will pull all funding from the Boy Scouts in 2015 if it doesn’t reverse its ban on gay leaders.
