I don't get what's bothering you.

Doesn't bother me at all as long as they aren't on any public payout. 
The question itself seemed to bother several posters, though, as if they were reluctant to admit what they were favoring.

I don't see anything to be ashamed about in believing that private organizations have the right to require certain religious beliefs of their members (and thus excluse those who don't share them), whatever those beliefs might be. But then again, I believe in only One True Religion and that all others are unauthorized and "wrong," so I may be a little old-fashioned here. I also want to rebuild the Temple and reinstitute animal sacrifices. Maybe you can write that up to "multiculturalism" (pretend I'm a s*nt*rian or something).

Re "public payout," why should that matter? I mean, you don't claim it's "wrong" or something, do you? Why, is it in the Torah that religious organizations can't be on the "public payout?" There isn't another source of what constitutes "right" and "wrong," is there???

I understand your perspective. There are many groups that get public funding I wish wouldn't. BSA has a standard that is politically correct, and in a vacuum it's easy to argue that they shouldn't get public funds because of "discrimination". But I have seen first hand the good that the Boy Scouts do. After 12 years in the organization, I've never seen one specific religion pushed. Only belief in a Higher Power than we. All religions are respected. So I guess I'm as guilty of "discriminating" as all the other fine young men I have known through the Scouting experience. And I wouldn't have missed it for anything!

So by projected logic, using taxpayer support as the test for full spectrum inclusion, you think that Republicans should be able to go to the Democratic National Convention? It was taxpayer supported, therefore anyone should be able to go.
