I was referring specifically to the claim that some folks cannot afford the SEA SCOUTS membership fee of seven dollars per year, and that the city of Berkeley is somehow to blame.
You still weren't reading closely enough. A private citizen was paying that membership fee for a lot of Scouts in that area. Now, that same guy has to pay the $500/month berthing fee. That way I figure it, that's the annual fee for 850 or so kids.
The problem with your argument, madg, is that there are plenty of non-profits that have political agendas, even if they are not recognized as such by other liberals. Berkely is carving out which political agendas are appropriate, which are not, and subsidizing them with tax dollars. Berkely should follow the same rules schools have to when they let their facilities be used by various student groups.
He's wrong for a more fundamental reason. He asserts that the Boy Scouts unjustly discriminate against him and other men for what they are, when in fact it is a behavior choice that is unwelcome.
These same men assert they are unjustly denied the right to marry when in fact they are only held to the same standard as other men: they may only marry women.
The moment you accept as true the false claim there are more than two sexes in the human race, you have already lost the central battle in this culture war. Arguing over taxes dollars, and donations are meaningless skirmishes by comparison.
