“The Commissioner of NAGAAA submitted a declaration explaining that the desire for exclusivity was born of the fact that many members of the LGBT community come from backgrounds where team sports have been environments of ridicule and humiliation. NAGAAA’s efforts to promote an athletic, competitive, sportsmanlike gay identity, with a unique set of values, in response to a particular need, are protected by the First Amendment. Forced inclusion of straight athletes would distract from and diminish those efforts.”

Soooo....does this mean that NO, there can be no white only or straight only groups if there is no PERCEIVED environment of ridicule, etc.?

Geez. Why would anyone “straight” WANT to play on a “gay” team?

Read into the 1963 Congressional Record:

45 Goals of Communism

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

No, this reasoning only applies to politically correct approved aggrieved groups.

So you can’t have a straight ony or white only group. But you are allowed to have groups for gays, any minority group, and women.

As long as the group involved has aggrieved status in the world of political correctness, then the legal criteria allow this self-expression legal concept. If a group, such as whites in general, or white men, sought legal status under such a legal concept, then the legal principles and criteria for judging the situation will change so that there is no benefit given to politically incorrect groups.

So the Boy Scouts are perfectly within their right to exclude homosexuals from their ranks.

Sooner or later, the victim argument was bound to come full circle. That's the idiocy of this kind of extremism; it eventually gets farther and farther afield until it wraps around and bites itself in the tail.

So it’s okay for other groups to exclude homosexuals then.
They cannot have it both ways no matter how badly they want it.
