“A flawed comparison doesn’t even begin to cover it. What you fail to realize is that chosen behavior doe not equal racial differences.”
Religion does not equal racial differences either, but are afforded equal protection.
Homosexuality is more than behavior. You can be homosexual without ever acting on it.
“What ‘public tax dollars’ are they receiving - NONE.”
The city is subsidizing their rent.
“They are paying utilities and up keep.”
But not fair market value rent.
“similar arrangements are with other organizations for sure.”
I’m not aware of any, but regardless.. .those organizations would also start being charged market rate if they discriminated based on sexual orientation.
“So I guess we need to force our children into threatening situations with homosexual predators and recruiters to satisfy you and your sense of morality.”
No, the Scouts have policies to prevent adults from being alone with children at any time. That should be sufficient.
Also, the non-discrimination extends to the scouts as well. This isn’t just about the leaders.
The Philadelphia chapter of the scouts doesn’t even agree with the national organization... they WOULD allow gay scouts/scoutmasters if allowed. That’s what is really sad about this situation... the Philly scouts are caught in the middle.
Unfortunately, this has been shown in previous incidents to be insufficient and the BSA has been sued because of it. Therefore, the BSA took the extreme measure to protect the boys and subsequently the BSA.

Then the Philly Scouts should start their own organization if they can't abide by the Scout Law, Oath and Charter rules. The BSA does not "own" the Troops, the Organization that is supporting the Troop through Chartering "owns" the Troop. If they agree with the homos in Philadelphia, then they can sever their ties with BSA and go down that path if they so choose, but they don't need to drag the BSA down that path.
Your reasoning is flawed as it relates to homos and their access to boys. The homos have violated the boys in the past and will continue to do so in the future if given an opportunity.

Wrong, homosexual activists never separate the act from their definition. You obviously haven't seen them flaunt it lately.
The city is subsidizing their rent.
By how much? ZERO The city is paying itself, that's laughable.
But not fair market value rent.
That's the city's tough luck, they made the deal.

That doesn't matter to a child molester, time and time again in other arenas that hasn't prevented molestation, they know the work arounds. Secondly, these homosexual leaders would be unable to separate their identity (ie their chosen behavior) and would demand, from that position of authority, that the boys accept it and eventually experiment with it. Doubt that - see what they are doing in our schools.
Also, the non-discrimination extends to the scouts as well. This isn’t just about the leaders.
The scouts have a standard - morally straight - and it is a voluntary association - judged constitutional by the supreme court, that allows it to set both leader and member status.

Then those leaders are wrong and desire to operate contrary to the oath and code they profess to be teaching the boys. If these leaders want to work in an organization that endorses homosexuality, they can join the local gay scout chapter. But I seriously doubt that the leadership is as all for it as you indicate. Yes, the boys are in the middle because radical homosexuals want to force acceptance of their behavior upon all facets of society and see the Scouts not only as a target of fresh recruits to corrupt, but through their teaching of heterosexual manhood gays perceive them as a threat and must be destroyed.
