I remember many years ago when I discovered that a local YWCA was controlled by militant feminists who used the Y's facilities to promote abortion and other left-wing feminist causes. The women who ran the center were atheists, some were Jewish, and none had any sympathy whatsoever for Christianity. If/when the Boy Scouts drop their ban on homosexuals and their requirement for a belief in God, the organization will slowly but surely be transformed, just as that YWCA was many years ago. It will eventually be turned on its head to espouse values totally contrary to those of its founders. That is what is at stake in these controversies.

This is very insightful.
