George Takei to take stand against Scouts’ anti-gay ban with GLAAD, Jennifer Tyrrell at NYC Pride
TV icon and former Boy Scout George Takei will join Ohio mom Jennifer Tyrrell and GLAAD at the NYC Pride Pride march this Sunday in a stand against the Boy Scouts’ anti-gay policies, NY Daily News’ Carson Griffith exclusively reported today.
Tyrrell, who was ousted as leader of her son’s Boy Scouts troop earlier this year because she’s gay, has collected over 300,000 signatures in opposition to the ban through her Change.org petition calling on the Boy Scouts of America to end its long history of discrimination.
