boy scouts of America Last week The Walt Disney Company gave notice to the Boy Scouts of America that it will pull all funding to the group starting in 2015 because of their membership policy that bans gay leaders.

Scouts for Equality, which says it works to end discrimination within the BSA, praised Walt Disney World for ending local support for the BSA’s Central Florida Council. Disney now joins Alcoa, AT&T, Lockheed Martin, Caterpillar, Major League Soccer, Merck, Intel and UPS as companies who have ended partnerships with the Scouts because of their policy banning gay leaders.
