Boy Scouts dismisses lesbian den leader Brian Lanzillotta (R), 11, and Nick Victor,11, at the 100th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America at Fort McHenry in Baltimore on October 2, 2010. COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 26 (UPI) -- The Boy Scouts dismissed Jennifer Tyrell, an Ohio den leader, for being a lesbian and she says she is working toward reversing their position. Tyrell withdrew her 7-year-old son from the Boy Scouts when she was dismissed. "He's no longer a Boy Scout," she told CNN. And we're sad about that but we can't support an organization that doesn't support our family. Tyrell is working with Change.org, a liberal political group, on a campaign to raise awareness about the Boy Scouts of America's policy toward gays and lesbians. She said she gathered 140,000 signatures and said she hopes to push the organization to reverse her dismissal. This isn't about my sexuality. This isn't about anybody's sexuality," Tyrell said. It's about teaching children to be better adults and we aren't doing that by teaching them to hate or discriminate. A New Jersey law requiring the Boy Scouts to readmit an openly gay Scout Master was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2000 because it infringed upon the group's First Amendment right of expressive association. The court found the Boy Scouts have a constitutional right to refuse membership to homosexuals. In the decision, Chief Justice William Rehnquist wrote, "Forcing a group to accept certain members may impair the ability of the group to express those views and only those views, it intends to express."
