 but 
lesbians seem to have an easier time living in it than gay 
men do.High-profile lesbian athletes have come out while still playing their 
sports, but not a single gay male athlete in major U.S. professional 
sports has done the same. While television's most prominent same-sex parents 
are the two fictional dads on "Modern Family," surveys show that society 
is actually more comfortable with the idea of lesbians parenting children.And 
then there is the ongoing debate over the Boy Scouts of America 
proposal to ease their ban on gay leaders and scouts.Reaction to the 
proposal, which the BSA's National Council will take up next month, has 
been swift, and often harsh. Yet amid the discussions, the Girl Scouts 
of USA reiterated their policy prohibiting discrimination based on sexual 
orientation, among other things. That announcement has gone largely unnoticed.Certainly, 
the difference in the public's reaction to the scouting organizations can 
be attributed, in part, to their varied histories, including the Boy Scouts' 
longstanding religious ties and a base that has become less urban over 
the years, compared with the Girl Scouts'.But there's also an undercurrent 
here, one that's often present in debates related to homosexuality, whether 
over the military's now-defunct "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy or even same-sex 
marriage. Even as society has become more accepting of homosexuality overall, 
longstanding research has shown more societal tolera
Editor's note: Watch former White House Press Secretary Dana Perino's interview 
with former President George W. Bush Thursday on "The Five" at 5 
pm ET.The George W. Bush Library and Museum opens this week in 
Dallas and many already have written about our 43rd president and his 
legacy. As commentators and historians hash over the big decisions, successes 
and mistakes over those eight years, heres my personal take on what 
President Bush means to me.On election night 2000, I had never met 
then-Governor Bush, though Id supported him for years. I believed he would 
be a strong, optimistic and gracious president with solid conservative principles 
and a big heart.When I got a call to volunteer on the 
campaign in early 2000, I had to turn it down due to 
a new job and a new life we were trying to start 
in San Diego. When I hung up the phone, I cried, Now 
Ill never get to work for George Bush. Then the 9/11 attacks 
changed everything for everyone. I moved back to D.C. and worked for 
the Bush administration from the fall of 2001 until the last day 
on January 20, 2009. Over those years, President Bush became a friend 
and a leader who made me strive to be a better person 
and citizen.Here are some of my favorite memories: One night when I 
first took the deputy press secretary job, I went with him on 
Marine One to an event in rural Virginia for the Boy Scouts 
Jamboree. Weather had kept us from going for two days, but on 
the third night, we made it
