You missed my point.  They *are* discriminating against gay people, and
they're couching it in a "behavior" clause.

They just plain and simple despise gay people, period.  And they don't want
them anywhere near.

If I understand correctly, the BSA is saying that *anyone* can be a
part of their organization as long as they're willing to comply with a
certain value set which doesn't seem any different than a church.

Further I would say that the strength of our country is that you CAN
have exclusive groups, *but not discriminatory groups*.  That's a
tolerant, but egalitarian society.

E.g, your Star Trek club.  While anyone regardless of race, color, or
creed can join, the expectation is that they are a Star Trek
enthusiasts and will contribute to the overall intellectual capital of
the group.  If you and I joined and mocked all of the members, we'd
get kicked out, and rightly so.
