@layman,
Ya know, Gent, you may have trouble seeing the relevance, but a few years ago the City of Philadelphia elected a lot of homosexuals to their city council, then passed a "non-discrimination" ordinance.
Relying on their ordinance, they told the boy scouts that they must accept homosexual boys as members.
The boy scouts didn't want to take homosexual boys on their camping trips, having them sleep in tents with straight boys, and **** like that, so they refused.
Philly then tried to get them thrown out of their building.
Federal Courts, at both the district and appellate levels, ruled that Philly's actions were unconstitutional and ordered them to pay in excess of $1 million to the Boy Scouts as compensation, after the City spent about 10 years trying to prosecute them.
It seems that the homosexuals just couldn't even begin to entertain the possibility that someone *other* than them could possibly have any rights. They thought they had the absolute right to force the boy scouts to take in homosexual members, whether they liked it, or not.
But the court ruled that The BS's constitutional "right to association" had been violated.
Surprise, surprise. Sometimes the one demanding something isn't the ONLY one who has rights, ya know? The homosexuals had trampled all over the Boy Scouts' rights, rather than vice versa.
See what I'm getting at?
