		<description><![CDATA[After years of resisting calls for it to drop its opposition to gay members and troop leaders, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) may finally — slowly — be changing its tune. The organization said Monday it was considering dropping its national policy on sexual orientation and leaving some of the decisionmaking to local troops, sponsors and families. (MORE: Was a Boy Scout Denied an Award Because He’s Gay?) &#8220;The policy change under discussion would allow the religious, civic or educational organizations that oversee and deliver scouting to determine how to address this issue. The Boy Scouts would not, under any circumstances, dictate a position to units, members or parents,&#8221; said BSA spokesman Deron Smith in a statement to TIME. &#8220;Under this proposed policy, the BSA would not require any chartered organization to act in ways inconsistent with that organization’s mission, principles or religious beliefs.&#8221; The group&#8217;s long-standing ban on gay membership, while it has faced several legal challenges, was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in a 2000 case. But the Scouts have come under mounting pressure on the issue in recent months. In October, Ryan Andresen, a then 17-year-old scout who had completed all the qualifications for earning his Eagle badge, learned from his troop leader that he could not be awarded the merit because he was gay. At the time, the Scouts released a statement saying that Andresen &#8220;did not meet the organization&#8217;s standard on sexual orientation&#8221; and was told he was no longer eligible for membership, prompting widespread condemnation. Earlier this month, after Andresen&#8217;s mother posted a Change.org petition in his support that got more than 468,000 signatures, local Boy Scout leaders approved his Eagle ranking, despite the judgment of the national organization. Smith said the decision is likely to be discussed next week at the organization&#8217;s national executive board meeting, which will be closed to the public. If the ban is dropped, it would eliminate any national policy on sexual orientation within the Boy Scouts of America.

		<description><![CDATA[Second Inaugurals have been remembered before, and Monday’s speech had none of the diamond-hard eloquence and blood-soaked wisdom that Abraham Lincoln mustered nearly 150 years ago when the curtain rose on his second term. But like that speech, Barack Obama’s address this week will likely be the stuff of history — and of Hollywood. Echoing Thomas Jefferson, Obama said, “We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths — that all of us are created equal — is the star that guides us still, just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls and Selma and Stonewall … ” By clearly linking the struggle for gay rights to two of the most haloed movements in U.S. history — the women’s-rights campaigns of the 19th century and the blacks&#8217;-civil-rights marches of the last century — President Obama&#8217;s speech has etched into the hearts and memories of millions of Americans the year 2013 as a moment to tell their children about. Those three moments in American history — “Seneca Falls and Selma and Stonewall” — became equal actors in the long “arc of the moral universe” that Martin Luther King Jr., in another, more controversial speech, assured his followers bends toward justice. (PHOTOS: Let Fury Have the Hour: LIFE and the Early Days of the Fight for Gay Rights) Both of the earlier moments referenced by Obama sought to attain greater legal rights for their participants. In 1848, it was abolitionists and women who came together at a conference in Seneca Falls, N.Y., looking to win the right to vote, among other rights, for women. And in 1965, blacks in Alabama attempted to march from Selma to Montgomery to press for their right to vote, only to be turned back almost immediately by police with clubs and tear gas. Two weeks later, armed with a federal court order, the marchers made it to the capital. Five months later, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law. Stonewall in 1969 was different. It had none of the stateliness of the older movements and none of<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nation.time.com&#038;blog=20157722&#038;post=103089&#038;subd=timemilitary&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gay is closer to ordinary than ever before in America after unprecedented voter support for same-sex marriage was shown in four states. But beyond Maine, Minnesota, Maryland and Washington, Election Day 2012 produced other milestones and will likely be remembered as the day gay rights came fully out of the closet to take their place among other facets of everyday public life in mainstream America. By winning at the polls in those four states, gay-rights supporters ended an unbroken losing streak that had dated to 1998, when Hawaii voters overwhelmingly voted to amend their constitution to let lawmakers ban gay marriage. State legislatures, notably New York’s last year, have legalized gay marriage, but never before had voters endorsed it at the ballot box. Public opinion on gay marriage, as on most things political in today’s America, remains split. Numbers released this week by the Pew Center show that in the central Southern states, including Kentucky and Tennessee, barely a third of respondents favor gay marriage. But everywhere else voters are either more evenly divided or decidedly favorable. (MORE: Ballot-Initiatives Roundup: What Won and What Lost) But those numbers only hint at a broader momentum. Gay-rights supporters won other prizes as well. Across the U.S., gay candidates and those who are strongly supportive of gay rights won their races. Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin was elected to the Senate in Wisconsin (GOP vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan’s home state) and will become the nation’s first openly gay Senator when the new Congress forms. Meanwhile, the man who won the right to replace her in the House of Representatives is gay too, and he’ll join five others who are openly gay in that body, according to the Gay &#38; Lesbian Victory Fund, which contributes to the campaigns of gay and gay-friendly candidates. When state legislatures across the country return for business, seven of those assemblies will welcome an openly gay member for the first time. “This is what a tipping point looks like,” wrote gay-rights scholar Nan Hunter of Georgetown University Law Center on her blog,<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nation.time.com&#038;blog=20157722&#038;post=93588&#038;subd=timemilitary&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Election Day, voters in Maine, Maryland, and (in a tight vote where mail ballots continue to be processed) Washington made history when they voted to allow same-sex couples to marry.These ballot measures were the first state-wide votes approving same-sex marriage, which had been enacted previously only through legislative or judicial actions. Minnesotans also changed gay politics: they were the first to reject a proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. (Half the states have approved such amendments, which have almost always passed with easy majorities.) Over the past 15 years, Americans have become steadily more supportive of marriage rights for gay couples. According to Gallup, exactly half the country now supports legalizing gay marriage. But it took years for popular opinion to change, so gay-marriage advocates fought most of their battles in courts and, later, legislatures. (The first state to legalize gay marriage was Massachusetts, whose Supreme Judicial Court ruled in 2004 that it is unconstitutional to deny marriage licenses to gay couples. The Vermont legislature was the first to authorize gay marriage without being forced to do so by a court.) (MORE: Ballot Initiatives Roundup: What Won and What Lost) But in national politics, gay marriage has remained a delicate topic. President Obama declined to endorse equal marriage rights until May, as he was raising millions of dollars for the fall campaign. Some observers pointed out that gay men provide a disproportionate amount of funding for the Democratic Party. For his part, Obama told ABC&#8217;s Robin Roberts that his thinking had undergone an &#8220;evolution&#8221; on the issue of gay marriage partly because of discussions with his wife and children. The wins on Nov. 6 will make it easier for future national politicians to support marriage equality. Popular votes provide durability in a way that executive orders, court rulings and legislative measures cannot. “It’s the single biggest talking point that anti-gay groups use in city halls, legislatures, Congress: you don’t have a popular vote,” says Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the largest gay-rights group in the world.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nation.time.com&#038;blog=20157722&#038;post=93185&#038;subd=timemilitary&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
