You think so? All their large donors threatened to yank their funding. If you’ll recall BSA won a Supreme Court case on the gay issue. No one was going to stand behind them... this large group of people didn’t exist

Emphasis on ‘large donors’. Corporations etc. are not ever likely to take a stand that might make them a target. What the BSA needed to do was elicit support from parents. There are just under 3 million youth members of the BSA, and if their families gave just $10 to a legal defense fund there would be ~$30 million to fight with. If you add to that solicitation of funds from others, it could be well over $50,000,000 to fight with.
