Alex, there isn't anything keeping the Randall twins and their like minded friends from creating their own association. If you want to start a service club that ignores religion, go right to it. If you feel gays are treated unfairly by the Scouts, then invite them to lead your alternative group. But why force others to change to suit you? Why join the Scouts when you know going in that you don't agree with what they feel to be important? Why is it that the Randalls' attempt to use the police power of the courts to force the Scouts to bend isn't seen as the rigid intolerance that it is? Alan Bloom wrote a good book on this mindset a few years back, The Closing of the American Mind, and Thomas Sowell has a similar work The Vision of the Annointed; "progressives" live in a fantasy world where they preach "diversity", but when actually confronted with it they quickly try to force others to conform to their chosen morality.
