United Way Funds

-Continued from page 1

In New Jersey, a lawsuit is underway challenging the dismissal
of gay Eagle Scout James Dale. Scout officials terminated
Dale’s 12-year membership in 1990 after finding out he is gay.
Lambda Legal Defense Fund filed suit asking for Dale’s re-
instatement under New Jersey’s new law prohibiting anti-gay
discrimination. The New Jersey law again applies to public ac-
commodations, so this suit may well defme the Scout’s status.
According to Lambda Executive Director Kevin Cathcart, the
fact that the Scouts are an employer and meet in public schools
means that most courts would consider it a public accommoda-

tion.

Ms. Sussman went on to point out that there is no way to project
whether a challenge to the Public Accommodations Act on the
grounds of religious exemption would or would not be success-
ful in Vermont.

While the United Way of Chittenden County stands by its pol-
icy of funding the Boy Scouts, other United Way organizations
(and a number of large companies including Levi Strauss) have
refused to fund the Scouts unless or until they change their pol-
icy of discrimination.

Morse did point out that in addition to funding the Boy Scouts,
the United Way of Chittenden County gives a substantial por-
tion of its funding to resources that may directly effect the gay
and lesbian commmunity including Vermont Cares, drug and al-
cohol rehabilitation, support for children, emergency shelters,
and domestic violence programs. V
