Days after U.S. District Judge Robert Shelby ruled that Utah’s marriage equality law was unconstitutional, hundreds of same-sex couples converged in Salt Lake City to get a ring legally put on it. There to lend a helping hand were SLC’s local Boy Scouts troop, wearing rainbow handkerchiefs while delivering pizza to the clerks who had skipped lunch to process the flood of marriage certificates and the couples waiting in line.

The Scouts only recently began accepting openly gay members this year after years of pressure to drop their ban, which still prohibits gay leaders.

Whose bright idea was it to let young boys around so many admitted homosexuals?

@DShucking: Could be worse, they could be in church, where they would actually be in danger.

Wow, just wow. Just when you thought the Boy Scouts and Utah in combination couldn’t possibly put a smile on your face. Way to go guys and a Merry Christmas in the truest of it’s meanings.
