(Hanover, New Hampshire) Gov. Bill Richardson said Wednesday night that if he is elected president he would refuse to accept the position of Honorary Chair of the Boy Scouts of America because of Scouting's ban on gays. The New Mexico governor made the pledge during a Democratic presidential debate in Hanover, New Hampshire. Richardson was asked if he would accept the chair of the organization, traditionally offered to presidents. "No, I wouldn’t, because I think as president I would commit myself, number one, that I will be a leader that prevents discrimination on the basis of race, gender and sexual orientation," he replied. No president has refused the offer of chair of the Boy Scouts. |
