The issue isn't that, its that big corps like Lockheed Martin are cutting off their corporate donations over gays(not allowing adult gays to lead the boys).
And BTW guess where most of their contracts are from.
Fair enough. But the BS would have had to ensure that none of their funding of any kind comes from federal subsidies and that none of their funding comes from corporate donations from companies that rely on the gov’t for their contracts. If any of the BS’s funding came from public money, directly or indirectly through a corporation practicing crony capitalism, it was always going to be very very difficult to effectively justify denying membership to any segment of the population. I suspect this is why many conservative members of the BS failed when they tried and often had to leave the org entirely. Do you at least concur that as long as the BS were not completely funded by private sources and the free market that the issue of allowing certain segments of the population to join was always going to be a major issue that they would struggle with?
