A gay softball organization can keep its rule limiting the number of heterosexual players on each team, but allegations by three players who say they were disqualified from a tournament because they weren't gay enough can proceed to trial, a federal judge said.
The North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance oversees gay softball leagues in dozens of U.S. cities and runs an annual tournament called the Gay Softball World Series. Three men claim in a lawsuit filed last year that their team's second-place finish in the 2008 tournament in Washington state was nullified because they are bisexual, not gay, and thus their team exceeded the limit of two non-gay players.
U.S. District Judge John Coughenour ruled Tuesday that the organization has a First Amendment right to limit the number of heterosexual players, much as the Boy Scouts have a constitutional right to exclude gays.

We need new words on the conservative side. This goes so far beyond double standards and preferential treatment that new concepts and words are needed.
First Amendment - Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
I happened to turn on an episode of House Hunters on HGTV channel last evening...wouldn’t you know it, 2 gay men are house hunting for their dream home together. I almost wanted to puke. How nice these azz clown producers give us this diversity.
Oh, boy. Ok, I'll ask.......define gay enough.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I think my quiche is ready.
The homosexuals, criminals, minority, anti-christian, unproductive people are given all the advantages now. The laws work for them. They are rewarded. And this is done because it is a sure way to destroy a society. There is nothing accidental or "unfortunate" about these consequences. It is all intentional.
This should prove an interesting little cat fight over “whoth gay.” Anything that gets the B’s fighting the L’s, G’,s amd Q’s can’t be all bad.
amd -> and
See... now are you angry that the American Law Institute published the Model Penal Code in 1962... not some legislative body, but a few thousand lawyers, judges and letal scholars...... under the guise of “standarization” of laws between states..... and it omitted moral crimes such as sodomy...... and then states legislatures began adopting all or part of it..... and so people today don’t have any clue as to where sodomy laws went or when or why ?
I officially retire as a satirist. I can’t possibly compete with reality....
It’s gay marriage. They want their RINO gangster protectors to not fight wars against other butt budies of international multiculutral gay friends, and to give them whatever they earn, daddy’s boyz what not alimoni. Privildged to play with little boyz.

What do you think the 'H' and the 'G' stand for? Couple of clues - It is a bit redundant, the 'H' isn't 'Home' and the 'G' isn't 'Garden'...
Pitchers and Catchers show up at spring training in February....then training goes all to hell....
It’s gay kgb tactic. If you like girls and kids, you are a liability. They want the true to form dead man dying inside a man marriage commitment, lock and key, doors slamming on society. It’s a ploy of reduce, control and reexploit, rematch people, Nazi style blond blond matching etc... reducing procreation to a ganster controling people as if they were farm animals, each to his/her ability - communists & much like Mullahs.
I live for softball and that rule really, really makes me mad!
Actually, I believe they DO have a right to have a gay softball league under the "Freedom of Association" section, not the First Amendment. However, this should apply in both directions, and as you pointed out, it's been a long time since normal people had this right.
I can’t, for the life of me, understand why any heterosexual male would want to play on in a gay softball league.
From the Congressional Record in 1963. There was an Extension of Remarks by HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. of Florida. It is entitled Communist GoalsHere is a partial list ( keep in mind as you read it, this was in 1963 ):
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
( Note: The American Constitution is outdated and flawed - Barack Obama 2001)
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use united force to solve economic, political or social problems.
Here is the full list : List
Far-left liberals who want to make a statement that they stand with the perverts.
Bi-sexual certainly seems gay enough to me.
