I do not argue that the do not have the rights to their freedoms. I 
wouldn't want to infringe. 

That being said, their positions are not something that I, personally, can 
accept. So, while they have the right to do as they please, I feel we, or 
at least I, have the responsibility to make it clear to people the nature 
of the organization just in case it matters. 

For instance, I would not prohibit a KKK march, but I certainly would not 
participate. Furthermore, I would ensure that truth behind the 
organization had equal billing to the propaganda. 

Likewise with the Boy Scouts of America, I don't agree with them. I find 
their positions offensive and hateful. They can do what they want, but I 
certainly will not be supporting them and feel an amount of responsibility 
to ensure that, before offering to help, people are aware of their 
discriminatory positions. 

OK, I'm sorry I started this whole thing and I apologize completely. 
Please flame me off line so we don't distract the others.
