Fucking hell. Do we really need a documentary for every single scandal out there? Then again, it is Netflix; they will take just about any movie deal if they think they can make money on it (spotty record on that).

Having said that, this was (and is) a big deal.

‘Scouts Honor’: Netflix Reveals the Boy Scouts’ Child Sexual Abuse Cover-Up https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/scouts-honor-netflix-trailer-debut-boy-scouts-child-sexual-abuse-cover-up-1234806388/

TODAY IN QUEER TV HISTORY

DONAHUE - 7/12/1991, Syndicated

In this clip, Phil Donahue interviews people fighting the Boy Scouts of America's ban on atheist, agnostic or homosexual scouts and scout leaders, and women scoutmasters.

The gay ex-Scouts seen in this clip are Tim Curran (who had sued the BSA in 1981 over discrimination) and Rob Schwitz (a 20-year-old who was thrown out of both the Boy Scouts and the Air Force ROTC for being gay).

In the 2010s, the Boy Scouts of America finally stopped discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation. However, it still bars open atheists from membership. As recently as 2018, the BSA was putting out statements to the effect that atheists are bad citizens.

A $2.4 billion bankruptcy plan for the #BoyScoutsOfAmerica has been upheld by a federal judge, clearing an important hurdle in the legal challenge by certain insurance companies and dissenting #SexAbuse survivors.

The plan would let the #Texas-based organization keep operating while it compensates tens of thousands of men who say they were sexually abused as children while involved in Scouting.
