Morally Straight: How the Fight for LGBTQ Inclusion Changed the Boy Scouts—And America
“A powerful and essential history for anyone who cares about justice and creating change.” — Mitchell Zuckoff, New York Times bestselling author of “13 Hours” and “Lost in Shangri-La”
Weaving in my own experience as a scout and journalist, Morally Straight tells a story that plays out over the course of four decades, beginning in an era when gay rights were little more than a cultural sideshow; when same sex marriage was not even on the radar; and when much of the country was recommitting to conservative social mores. It was during this treacherous time that accidental activists emerged, challenging one of America’s most iconic institutions in a struggle that would forever change the country’s view of gay people and the rights they held in society.
