Fmr. Cub Scout leader: FRC's Perkins has 'twisted view' of gay adults' relationships with children
The Boy Scouts of America board was expected to vote on whether to lift their national ban on gay members yesterday, but they pushed the decision back to May during their annual meeting.
Gay rights supporters like Jennifer Tyrrell, who was a cub scout den leader in Ohio until the organization dismissed her for being a lesbian, will now have to wait another few months for what they hope will be a historic announcement.
Tyrrell discusses the Boy Scouts' decision on "Early Start" today, saying that while she's a bit disappointed by the organization's choice, "if they need a little time to make the right decision then that’s what they need to do."
"I feel very optimistic. It’s the first time they've not said no," Tyrell says. "I’m hopeful. I just have to hold onto that belief that they’re going to be on the right side of history and if we have to wait until May, then we have to wait until May."
Tyrell also responds to Family Research Council president Tony Perkins' comment on Starting Point yesterday, when he said that he wouldn't want to send his child on a camping trip with a homosexual man.
"I think that he has a twisted view of things," Tyrell says. "I think that adults of whichever sexual orientation are not typically attracted to children. So I don’t know why his mind keeps going there. He may want to look into that."
Blizzard warning for Northeast as storm threatens to dump up to two feet of snow – Indra Petersons reports
Brace yourselves, bundle up, and buy a shovel: This is going to be a big one. At this moment, a blizzard watch is in effect for New England. A storm is headed that way and could be historic. This is expected to drop more than two feet of snow in some places, and it all starts tomorrow.
Meteorologist Indra Petersons is tracking this mess for "Early Start" from the CNN Weather center in Atlanta. She says the snowfall in Boston could rival its worst blizzard back in 2003, when the city had 27 1/2 inches.
It all comes down to two storms coming together.
"We're going to watch this instability produce heavy showers even through Atlanta today. We're going to see a low form, start to be kind of a rain and wind event as it moves across or north on the Eastern Seaboard. And then, notice, the other storm system. Now, watch as these two merge together. Again, once they merge, it's all about the positioning, not only of the low itself but where the freezing line is all these factors will determine how much snow we will have in each area," Petersons says.
A blizzard warning has been issued for Boston, Rhode Island and Connecticut. There are also winter storm watches through most of New England. Depending on that position in the freezing line, Petersons says the amount of snow could vary.
