Ohio Mom Responds to Chuck Norris’ Anti-Gay Post; Mitt Romney Supports Ending Ban on Gay Scouts

Today Jennifer Tyrrell responded to Chuck Norris’ post and called for him to meet with her family and other scouting families:

“Since I was ousted as a scout leader I have been flooded with support from local parents, scouts and hundreds of thousands of Americans. Chuck Norris is clearly out of touch and I’d like for him to sit down with my family and fellow scouting families who support us. My orientation wasn’t an issue in my son’s pack until the Boy Scouts made parents tell their children why their favorite den leader was no longer able to participate. With the U.S. military, the Girls Scouts of the USA, the 4-H Club and the Boys & Girls Club among organizations that allow gay Americans the time is now to end the ban.”
