Law School Trustee David Boies [1] LLM ’67, already a powerful legal advocate for same-sex marriage, successfully represented the first openly gay Boy Scout leader challenging a controversial policy banning gay adults from participating in the 105-year-old organization. His client, 18-year-old summer camp leader Pascal Tessier, had the support of his local New York City council, including board member Richard Mason [2] ’87, who told the New York Times [3], “He’s highly qualified. We said yes to him irrespective of his sexual orientation.”
