The board of the Cradle of Liberty Council, which has 87,000 members in Philadelphia and two neighboring counties, voted unanimously this month to make the change after discussions with gay activists and other community leaders that began two years ago.
“We disagree with the national stance, and we’re not comfortable with the stated national policy,” council Chairman David H. Lipson Jr. said.
