George Takei blasts Boy Scouts of America

George Takei is not only a television icon (Sulu on Star Trek) and one of the most famous gay men in America, he’s also a former Eagle Scout.

Takei, who appeared on Celebrity Apprentice earlier this year, is blasting the Boy Scouts of America for its announcement this week that it will continue to ban gays from being members.

‘These policies by the BSA reinforce that gay people are unfit to be part of this national organization because of who they are,’ he writes a column posted on the website for his new musical Allegiance. ‘They perpetuate the irresponsible and unsupportable stereotype that gay people prey upon children. And they must be met with staunch resistance until they fall.’

‘It sends the wrong message to our youth, many of whom already are struggling with their own sexual identity – an identity which has nothing whatsoever to do with their ‘morality,’ but everything to do with their self-esteem and happiness,’ he adds.
