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.

The 'product' of a convention is politics.  Discriminating on political grounds is expected.

What is the 'product' of the Boy Scout experience?  Religion?  If so, then discrimination would be expected.  

But what if the product is character building, crafts, self-sufficiency, thrift, and honesty?  Religion would not be a salient factor and should not be used in determining who can join.
