It's an unusual case, for sure, but it brings up an old argument about how much authority the government should have over a private organization.

Most people don't like to see discrimination, but I think most people would also agree that a private organization should be able to pick and choose whoever they want to have as members.

I am gay, but some of my fellow gay Americans don't want to accept that nondiscrimination laws are a two-way street. If homosexuals want to be fully accepted, then they have to fully accept heterosexuals too, especially if the law says so.

"Bisexual" isn't "gay" though. I can see why they'd be excluded.

How do you measure "gay enough?"

As Prince so adequately put it, "...In through the out door" should be a sufficient measure.

Exactly. Besides, why would a "bisexual" person want to join an alliance that specifically caters to gay people?

Well, why not? Maybe they like something about the league aside from it being a mostly gay organization. Are gays so repulsive that even bisexuals wouldn't want to join them?
