hurt by an inconsistent approach. and the boy scouts of america moved to accept gay troop leaders saying in a statement, quote, this resolution will allow charter organizations to select adult leaders without regard to sexualor jen orientation. the lbgt community faces the most harassment as kids and teamers. a survey last year found that 70% of lbgt students were harassed, while 55% of students said they were harassed because of gender expression. still, there is no federal law that explicitly prohibits the bullying of kids based on real or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity. senator al franken is trying to do something to change that. joining me now is senator al franken. democrat from minnesota. senator, great to have you here. i don t think anyone would look at the situation that so many lgbt kids face in school and think, well, that s fine that these kids are getting harassed. some are being so horribly hurt
