Jennifer was joined by her son Cruz and by GLAAD President Herndon Graddick. During the interview, Jennifer shared her story and expressed her devastation over being dismissed from the organization. Yet, she noted, “I’m actually very humbled and appreciative of all the support” she has received from her community and from people around the country. Herndon added, “I hope the Boy Scouts change their rule. There is nothing preventing them from doing so, and I think that America is behind us.”
