Jennifer Tyrrell hugs her son Cruz Burns, 7, outside Boy Scouts national offices after a meeting with BSA representatives in July in Irving. The Ohio woman, ousted as a den mother because she is a lesbian, delivered a petition with 300,000 signatures to the BSA headquarters urging the organization to reinstate her and abandon its policy of excluding gays.
