It is a matter of public knowledge that I am a gay man.

Then it isn't you who is unwelcome. It is your behavior choice that is unwelcome.

So, let me ask you again: what makes you believe that you are unwelcome?

I could care less if madg is gay. Big deal. It doesn't make him wrong on this -- he's wrong for other reasons.

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.
