“The Commissioner of NAGAAA submitted a declaration explaining that the desire for exclusivity was born of the fact that many members of the LGBT community come from backgrounds where team sports have been environments of ridicule and humiliation. NAGAAAs efforts to promote an athletic, competitive, sportsmanlike gay identity, with a unique set of values, in response to a particular need, are protected by the First Amendment. Forced inclusion of straight athletes would distract from and diminish those efforts.”
Soooo....does this mean that NO, there can be no white only or straight only groups if there is no PERCEIVED environment of ridicule, etc.?
>>>gay identity, with a unique set of values,<<<
I would really like to see this list of values, what makes it unique, and a discussion of how those values are different from, let’s say, heterosexual values.
That’s a rhetorical question, since I know that casually throwing out comments about “unique” gay “values” is just a thin veneer of b***sh*t painted over an empty building.
No it means that the victim has now become the bully and the new victim has no protections.
Welcome to the result of political correctness.
so the judge comcluded the first amendment association rights are only triggered when special class victims are seeking to use it.
IOW the first does not apply to all people just to those SPECIAL victims as defined by the courts via junk science and outright assumptions.
