James Turley, Chairman and CEO of Ernst & Young and a Board member of the Boy Scouts of America, announced tonight that he supports an end to the Boy Scouts’ ban on gay scouts and gay scout leaders. In a statement issued tonight by Ernst & Young, Turley said that he will work from within the Boy Scouts as a national board member to help change their policies. “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,” Turley said. “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.”

GCB, the complete first season – From Darren Star, creator of ‘Sex And The City,’ and Robert Harling, writer of ‘Steel Magnolias, ‘comes a deliciously fun, wicked new drama that shows a girl can go home again…but only if she’s ready to face the sins of her past.

Twenty years later, after her hubby is busted for a Ponzi scheme – and meets his maker in a particularly scandalous way – a disgraced Amanda is back in Dallas to start life anew under her mother’s (Annie Potts) palatial roof.
