Boy Scouts To Receive 275,000 Signatures Of Support For Lesbian Den Mother | The Boy Scouts of America’s anti-gay policies came back into focus last month when Ohio mom Jen Tyrrell was ousted from her position as her son’s den mother because she is a lesbian. On Wednesday, Zach Wahls and other supporters of Tyrrell will deliver more than 275,000 signatures of support to the Scouts’ annual meeting in Orlando. Wahls, an Eagle Scout, has become a national spokesperson for same-sex families since testifying before the Iowa legislature last year on behalf of his moms’ marriage.
