In January 2013, the Boy Scouts of America said it was considering lifting its ban on gay members, drawing strong reactions from both sides of the debate. The organization then delayed its decision until May. Jeffrey Brown gets views from Zach Wahls of Scouts for Equality and Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention."

Just to go on the record as a Liberal: I'm against homophobia and homosexuals being denied access to things that they otherwise would have access to if they were heterosexual. But that doesn't mean that private organizations that require memberships to be involved with them don't have the right to do that. 

And of course there's the argument that employers, stores, places to eat and so-forth aren't allowed to discriminate against people for these reasons. Denying people service because of their race and so-forth, but the U.S. courts have ruled differently. They've separated from private organizations and privately run business's that are open to the public. You don't need membership (to eat at a diner to use as an example) or shop at a store, but you do need membership to join private clubs like the Boy Scouts. (To use as an example) And you could argue that they should have that right, but the fact is they do which the courts have ruled. 

Government can't deny people access to education, because they don't like someone's race, ethnicity, color, gender, religion, sexuality, etc and neither can private organizations that are open to the public. But private clubs can, because they're not open to the public, I believe have the constitutional right to do that.
