Some politics...Why is this even a discussion?

REAKING: Boy Scouts of America proposes ending ban on openly gay youth while keeping ban on gay leaders in place. Board to vote on resolution in May. http://abcn.ws/17whGnJ

So I just don't see any sense in this. Why is it even a discussion. I am 100% sure, no I KNOW that gay people would be just as good as straight people in a leading position. WHY? Because there is no difference between a gay person and a straight person except the fact of who they love ... and it doesn't matter who you love when it comes to caring about a youth group or any other job. 
Let gay people be gay and straight people be straight cause all that matters is that we take care of children, take care of our environment, take care of each other. It makes no difference who we love - but we all have to make a difference in loving and accepting EVERYONE!
