Care to elaborate? This isn’t something I’ve followed closely and would like to hear another take on the matter; what was the role the Mormons played here?
on top of the other reply to you, The Latter Day Saints (as they wish to be called since the negative rumors and falsehoods came about) had the highest percentage of memberships, and a large percentage of the organization was from the church. The BSA opened up to allow openly gay boys/adults to join, as this was against the Church's beliefs and values, they pulled all membership and separated from BSA very quickly. Most of BSA's funding was from the church so all that dried up too.

Not wanting homosexual kids to be allowed to join, IIRC.
