Yeah, I agree, but I do think there is a broader point: Isn't shunning the BSA because of their *value system* its own form of intolerance? If the BSA was saying that: (1.) We believe being Gay is genetic, and (2.) We ban Gays from the BSA. Then I'd fully agree with you. That's discrimination. On the other hand, if I understand correctly, the BSA is saying: (1.) We believe homosexual romantic and sexual relationships are wrong, and (2.) We ban that *behavior* from the BSA. Then I'm ok for the same reason I'm ok with corporations banning PDA on their premises: you can ban behavior, but not people. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get involved in the latest ColdFusion discussions, product development sharing, and articles on the Adobe Labs wiki. http://labs/adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ColdFusion_8 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:245826 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
