The
White House last week said President Barack Obama opposes the Boy Scouts of America's ban on openly gay members or volunteers, a policy
the organization recently reconfirmed. Mitt Romney’s presidential
campaign also said he stands behind comments he
made in 1994, in which he said sexual orientation should not be a factor
in admission to the Boy
Scouts.
“Now, the BSA is not only turning its back on hundreds of
thousands of Americans, as well as current and past Scouts -- they're
turning their back on the leader of the free world and their very own
'honorary president,’” said Jennifer Tyrrell, a former den leader of her
son’s Cub Scouts troop who was kicked out of the organization this year
because she is a lesbian.
