Chuck Norris, an out and proud conservative, is up in arms about the possibility of the Boy Scouts of America allowing openly gay scoutmasters. He's convinced the only reason that BSA National Board Member James Turley wants to "encourage" change in the organization is because Barack Obama is rewarding him for doing so.

We hate to burst Chucky's bearded bubble, but guess who else supports Turley's sinister vision? The 1994 version of Mitt Romney, that's who!

After all the bad guys he roundhouse kicked in the face for being a-holes, who knew Walker Texas Ranger was completely against equality?

Ugh! Come on, Chuck!

The conservative action icon is apparently terrified of gay scoutmasters in the Boy Scouts of America.

We're not really sure what kind of consequences he is proposing would occur if they were allowed, but he's furious over a possible connection between the pro-gay Obama administration and BSA National Board Member James Turley.

What wonderful, heart-warming news!! BE PREPARED for some changes, Boy Scouts of America!

The CEO of Ernst & Young James Turley - a prominant figure on the Board of Directors of the Boy Scouts of America organization - released an official statement IN FAVOR of lifting the gay scout/scout leader ban!!!!!

Turley expressed:

“Ernst & Young is proud to have such a strong record in LGBT inclusiveness. As CEO, I know that having an inclusive culture produces the best results, is the right thing for our people and makes us a better organization. My experience has led me to believe that an inclusive environment is important throughout our society and I am proud to be a leader on this issue. I support the meaningful work of the Boy Scouts in preparing young people for adventure, leadership, learning and service, however the membership policy is not one I would personally endorse. As I have done in leading Ernst & Young to being a most inclusive organization, I intend to continue to work from within the BSA Board to actively encourage dialogue and sustainable progress.”

Turley’s statement is a reaction to
