Boy Scouts: A Feb. 12 Op-Ed article about the Boy Scouts’ exclusion of gays stated that the American Civil Liberties Union had no active cases against the Boy Scouts of America. There is an open federal case from San Diego. In 2000, the ACLU sued San Diego and the Boy Scouts of America on behalf of the sons of an agnostic family and a gay family alleging discrimination. The ACLU won in U.S. District Court, and the city settled. The Boy Scouts appealed to the U.S. 9th Circuit, which has not ruled.
