Like I said, churches are allowed to discriminate. Public/private institutions that take federal funding are not.

And boys can't join the girl scouts. No non-profit should get tax dollars.
National Association of Black Accountants is a non-profit.
You think religious NPO are the only ones who discriminate? why are they the only one you target?
I would agree that any non-profit that discriminates should not get government grant money (although this topic concerns the issue of separation of church & state). But all non-profits do not discriminate.
So girl scouts need to let boys join?

And boys can't join the "girl" scouts. LMAO.

They are not a religious organization. (girl scouts)
Yet boys can't join them ... does this need to be corrected?

If you make ten bucks more than the poverty guidelines you cannot get help with insulating your house. That is discrimination. Any program that helps only the poor is discriminatory.

If they want government grant money, IMO.

This is the kind of craziness destroying this country. No, girl scouts should not be forced to allow boys to join. That is beyond insane.

So taxpayers can't tell the government what to spend on and to create guidelines?

They are two distinct groups, who are you to tell them they need to combine?

Well yeah. Outside of a literal "gay check" at the door, how would you ban gays from entering? Need I remind you of the bakery that simply refused to make a cake for two gay people getting married? Just because anti-homosexuality is anti-Christian rhetoric and hypocritical to Jesus' message doesn't mean that it isn't pervasive throughout the religion still.
To be honest, I can't understand what the big deal is anyways. Outside of shacking up in bed with someone of the same gender, gay people are largely the same as non-gay people. I know a bunch myself. And as far as the gay sex thing, what's the big deal? It's just sex...

Fine. Then cut off any tax assistance they receive and revoke BSA's federal charter.

Sheer lunacy.
The only thing that should happen is all NPO should not get tax dollars. They should sink or swim based on donations.
