Grim Amusements / April 24, 2010 / just what is the RDA of gay, anyway?
It's really fascinating, in a very strange way, watching people be both hypocritical and alarmingly stupid at the same time. [...] The NAGAAA decided to enforce the minimum gayly requirement (or to be more specific, the maximum straight requirement) by conducting the sort of inquisition carried out by the government under the auspices of "don't ask, don't tell." Because imitating your oppressors is the sincerest form of flattery! Well done, NAGAAA, well done!
But wait! it gets better! [...]
Let's leave aside the question of racism, for now. Let's even leave aside the outrageous inquisition into the sex lives of these men that NAGAAA conducted. Let's just look at that lawsuit, shall we? Let's shall.
The plain fact is, NAGAAA cannot afford to win this lawsuit.
Why is that, you might ask?
Because NAGAAA is using precisely the same argument that the Boy Scouts of America used in trying to eject a gay scoutleader: that they were a private organization, and that as such, they were not required to follow state nondiscrimination laws that were binding on public organizations. And, after many years and appeals, the Supreme Court agreed with them. And the net result? [...]
Oh, but wait: it gets even better!
NAGAAA can't afford to lose this lawsuit, either....
