It means 2 things -
1. National BSA HQ in Irving, TX, needs Fortune 500 $$$ donations to keep the lights on. The Human Rights Campaign, founded in 1980, has completely penetrated the Fortune 500 board rooms.
2. National BSA will no longer be able to stand up to the threatened lawfare that the LGBT contingent will bring.
It means Robert Gates is the kind of Republican who will nominate the Jebbie-Nikki ticket for 2016.
