If this is a private club .. I don't think the court can force the club to admit members who are not based on the clubs rules.

Remember the golf course in Agusta, GA. The club is for men only. They still do not admit women. This case can set a great precedent in court against having to allow people other than the STATED PURPOSE of the club.

One caveat- Augusta's rules do not ban women as members. There is actually no provision in the club's rules mentioning the gender of members. Rather, the rules require that a potential member be nominated by an existing member and approved by a vote. No woman has been granted membership yet. Hootie something-or-other, the club's president, has publicly said that the club will eventually have female members, but that it will do so on its own schedule.

It's all very deliberate, targeted and planned. It's more a matter of deconstructing private property and the right to free association, individual liberties anathema to collective, socialist societies, so they must be de facto destroyed. A group can still define itself, but just barely. Witness the unprecedented assault against groups like say, the Boy Scouts of America. They have their own definition of who may be a Scout, and what qualities they wish to inculcate in young boys, and later, young men. Instead of forming their own group, radicals wish to subvert or destroy that which from they are specifically excluded. It sure is interesting to watch, but... Never mind...
