Gay groups are heralding the decision by Republican Mass. senator Scott Brown to support repeal of "don't ask, don't tell," but a conservative leader is balking.
The Boston Herald reports that Massachusetts Family Institute director Kris Mineau is "disappointed" with Brown for stating support for repeal, an announcement he made this week.
