The Boy Scouts of America are getting a little piece of the hate, too.

Men have been sending back the medals they received when they were made Eagle Scouts (the medals are highly coveted awards that take a lot of hard work to earn and help young men to earn scholarships, higher rankings if they enlist to serve the country, and even job interviews).

The return of medals has come about since the Boy Scouts organization decided to ban openly gay, bisexual, or transgender kids from participating in scouting. And, the reactions from men sending back their medals -- both gay and straight -- are extremely intense.
