I don't see how the exercise of a constitutional right can be "wrong"

Tell me...
Do you consider BET "wrong"?
Do you consider the Black Congressional Congress "wrong"?
Do you consider Jet, Essence, and the many other black-only publications "wrong"?
Do you consider Christian chrches which exclude Muslim Imams from delivering a sermon "wrong"?
Would you consider a restaurant which served nothing but Southern BBQ (by definition: PORK) and thus exclusive of devout Jews and Muslims (and Vegetarians and PETAns) "wrong"?
Do you consider Men's (private) Clubs which exclude women "wrong"?
Do you consider Women's (private) Clubs "wrong"?
Do you consider conservative websites which are actively hostile to dithering Leftists "wrong"?

Freedom of Association is ALWAYS right... even if it IS silly.

There is a difference between Freedom of Association and actual association. The right is great, but their choice seems poor.

I have Freedom of Speech. It's still stupid for me to go walking through Wal Marts yelling insults at everyone I see wearing purple shirts because I don't like the color purple.

Oh - I don't know where you're from - but not ALL Southern BBQ is pork. Beef BBQ is not at all uncommon. Then there are those folks who barbecue chicken - but that's just not my taste.
