no the city of philly is saying that the scouts first amendment freedom of association must comply with teh religions and “conscience” precepts of the government religion.

Only if the Scouts want to use city property. It's their choice.

You must believe as the government mandates or you may not have the benefits of a governemtn that honors its contracts.

You would be wrong.

no because the city is saying the $1 a year deal would be allow IF the scouts complied with the city’s view of recreational sex.

It is NOT equal treatment because another pro-homosexual group would get the enhanced benefit.

It is UNequal treatment based on the scout’s conscience.

If the city wanted to go with clean hands they would have to charge EVERYONE exactly the same. They are not. You can get preferential treatment if you agree that one man playing with another man’s genitals is somehow “normal”.

That torpedoes the argument the city is putting forth.
