Not a lawyer here, but it seems like the BSA decision to allow individual sponsoring organizations (like LDS Corporate) to discriminate based on religious dictates really hangs those entities out in the wind.
BSA National takes a position of being INCLUSIVE and progressive (score one for Robert Gates and the committee members who followed his recommendation).
LDS Corporate now has to drop Scouting, accept LGBT adults as leaders OR discriminate and open the door for lawsuits. All hard for TSCC leaders to swallow.
For you lawyers out there... From a legal standpoint do I have this right? Are the individual sponsoring entities (LDS, Inc. Catholic parish X etc.) more vulnerable to lawsuits because the national organization allows LGBT leaders and employees?
