City officials have said they could not legally rent taxpayer-owned property for a dollar a year to a private organization that discriminates.

And the Boy Scouts have violated their lease.

Now, perhaps you could invent a time machine and stop the law that states that the city could not rent to an organization the discriminates.

Have you seen a copy of the lease? I have been attempting without success to find the 1928 ordinance or the original lease to see exactly what it says. From what I understand, the agreement was to be in perpetuity. Whatever it says, I sincerely doubt there is any reference to discrimination in a 1928 document. Now if the agreement made any reference to the Cradle of Liberty Council having to be in compliance with any future ordinances, the city may have a case. But lacking that, it seems to be the city that has changed the terms of the agreement, thereby violating the lease.

Just because they say it, doesn't mean that is so. In fact the do it all the time. For example, Womens only health clubs are discriminatory, and they rent city property. This is clearly, fags vendetta against the boy scouts. Nothing more.

And the anti-discrimination law was passed a couple of years ago, whereas the lease agreement was made 78 years ago.

So, based on your logic, if your city changes its rules for the property you own in 2007 when you are too old to work and have to support an invalid wife and a grandchild with major health problems, and suddenly the buildings you get rent from are no longer "yours" because your township changes its laws in 2057, that would be OK with you?
