We BOTH agree they are a private organization, and we BOTH agree that they should be able to exclude gays & atheists.

The dispute is over YOUR LIES when you claim the Boy Scouts don't discriminate. And over and over again, you keep claiming that they don't but refuse to explain HOW they don't discriminate when they explicitly forbid atheists and homosexuals from being in the Boy Scouts.

You're trying to change the subject again, and it's not going to work...

This isn't an issue of me "not realizing" something.
This is an issue of you squirming like crazy to avoid acknowledging something, and you aren't going to get away with it.



Irrelevant to the point at hand.
Stop changing the subject.
The answer to your question, just to get you to stop asking it, is no. But that's irrelevant to the points that.

a) The Boy Scouts DO discriminate.
b) The Boy Scouts have NO RIGHT to free rent.
c) It is NOT "force" to deny the Boy Scouts free rent.
d) The city IS NOT discriminating against the Boy Scouts in giving them free rent. The truth is that the city would have been discriminating AGAINST OTHER GROUPS in giving the Boy Scouts free rent, but NOT free rent to the other groups. This is ending preferential treatment of the Boy Scouts. NOT discrimination against the Boy Scouts.

Can you address ANY of those four points without just blindly contradicting with no argument behind your denial?
In my opinion, a private clube can exclude or include anyone they want. If you want a private club of gays and lesbians only, you should be able to have it. That is called freedom. That is why this country was founded. You don't quite get that do you?

You never answered my question.....would you take the Boy Scout oath and live by it?
