Good on the 17-year-old for intervening, but so sorry she got injured! Hope all recover fully.

And yet we KNOW that there are plenty of religious organizations that openly discriminate and yet maintain their tax exempt status. Sounds like you're barking up the wrong tree.

As for your second comment: you're proposing that I hide my husband? That my son hide that he has two dads? Is that an honorable position?

The good news? You're wrong: "According to the American Psychological Association, "homosexual men are not more likely to sexually abuse children than heterosexual men are." Gregory Herek, a professor at the University of California, Davis" (http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2010/winter/10-myths)

To get more technical: pedophilia is actually a separate, disordered, orientation from homosexual and heterosexual. (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/09/18/903178/-Gays-are-pedophiles-No-Here-s-the-proof)

Gay men like adult male bodies. Pederasts like children's bodies because they can control them more easily. Or perhaps you're not interested in reality-based thinking.

Most pederasts/pedophiles are "straight" men.

I'm a gay dad and was told that while we, as a family, were welcome join scouting, I could not be a leader. That's plain sad and pathetic. My husband and I are also atheists, which is another reason the BSA wouldn't allow us to be leaders. My son? He's 7 and I can't say whether he's straight (all current signs point to "yes") or believes in any god.

What LGBT group do you know of that discriminates and receives public funding?

Just because there are affinity groups, doesn't mean they discriminate. Most LGBT groups I know of don't check your affectatiional or sexual history or fantasies at the door.
