Sure, I agree it’s only half of the right decision. But for Disney to remove the BSA from the Voluntears list now seems off. It almost looks like they’re punishing the BSA for finally allowing openly gay Scouts. Wouldn’t a better time for removal have been, say, 2012? When the BSA had just publically “doubled down” on their anti-gay policies? When Eagle Scouts were returning their medals as a protest against the BSA? Maybe if Disney had removed BSA from the Voluntears list then, it would have helped to bring the day of allowing openly gay Scouts along sooner. Or persuaded the BSA to allow openly gay Scouts AND leaders.
I don’t question Disney’s decision, or their LGBT-friendly bonafides. Just the timing seems strange.
